A dream for the cinema enthusiasts

Member of the Academy of moral and political sciences, outstanding professor to the Sorbonne, Jean Tulard has so behind him a long career of cinema enthusiast. A dictionary of the film directors, other one dedicated to the actors and the precious guide of films in three volumes are owed him. Big classics in the classified films "X ", this loving Dictionary is a promenade in freedom across the big hours and chefsd' cinematographic art works.

:: History::
To have been born with the talkies and to see films since the age of seven years allows to speak with love of Cinematographic art. With nostalgia also. The cinema was formerly a holiday and a show. His room was chosen, the usherette put us, light went out, a curtain moved away. On the screen succeeded one another news, a documentary and a cartoon; then the intermission with his frozen Eskimoes came; and it was finally the big so much waited film. In the fifties was born a film culture across the long queues of the Film archive, street of Ulm then in the Palace of Chaillot, film clubs and the specialised magazines. Today, about hundred films pass every day on the small screen, and the DVD allows to constitute its film Pantheon.
The cinema lost a lot of its magic. But how not to continue liking it?
