The RER B is an urban train that traverses Paris and its environs from north to south. A moving testament to the importance of filming as a process of bearing witness and remembering, We is subtle and shrewd in a world which favours shortcuts and easy answers. Justifiably adopting the fragmented structure of a patchwork portrait in order to describe a riven society, Diop displays impressive control of her essay and its impact. In the film’s first few minutes, a deer is observed, through binoculars. Isolation, discrimination and nostalgia for hierarchies, inherited from a monarchical past… Divisions haunt France’s present. But the human urge to give as well as to receive stubbornly creeps into every situation,observed or triggered. Could this be the one thing that still keeps a nation together?

Il y a dix ans, Emmanuelle, professeure de français d’un lycée des quartiers Nord de Marseille, participait à un film avec ses élèves. A partir de l’étude de La Princesse de Clèves, Abou, Morgane, Laura, Cadiatou et les autres énonçaient leurs rêves, leurs désirs et leurs peurs. Tous se retrouvent aujourd’hui, les souvenirs se mélangent aux récits de leur vie et des obstacles à surmonter. Que reste-t-il de leurs espoirs de liberté, d’égalité et de fraternité ? « Je sais bien qu’il n’y a rien de plus difficile que ce que j’entreprends. », cette phrase du roman trouve plus que jamais écho en eux. En nous.

Suburbs of Tel Aviv. Bnei Brak, world capital of the Haredim, the ultra- Orthodox Jews. When he was a kid, Menahem Lang was known for his kindness, his commitment to Talmud school and especially his golden voice, which made him a renowned performer of liturgical chants. But he was hiding a secret: for years, he was raped by members of the community that worshipped him. After 10 years, Menahem returns to the scene of the crime. It is also a return to the places he loved, a path of initiation sprinkled with incredible encounters, recovered rituals... a reconciliation.

"En revoyant nos films super huit pris entre 1972 et 1981, il m’est apparu que ceux-ci constituaient non seulement une archive familiale mais aussi un témoignage sur les goûts, les loisirs, le style de vie et les aspirations d’une classe sociale, au cours de la décennie qui suit 1968. Ces images muettes, j’ai eu envie de les intégrer dans un récit au croisement de l’histoire, du social et aussi de l’intime, en utilisant mon journal personnel de ces années-là."- Annie Ernaux
