The Lost Films of Alexandre Trannoy in L'Oeuvre invisible
Episode notes
This time on Lost in Frenchlation we talk with Vladimir Rodionov about his documentary which has been 15 years in the making. Vladmire and his co-director Avril Tembouret spent 15 years searching for any footage from a man who worked with famous actors, who shot a lot of projects but the films themselves never materialized and the footage, if there ever was, is lost without a trace.
L'Oeuvre invisible traces the life of Alexandre Trannoy, an enigmatic filmmaker who, despite a 30 year career, never completed a single film. Through archives, interviews, and production traces, the doc attempts to understand this Don Quixote of cinema.
This is the second time we Vladimir has been on the show. last time he was introducing a very different kind of film for Valentine's Day called ANGES & CIE, a romantic comedy about how angels guide people through and to love.
