Ce qui me meut

About This Movie

So, you know, 'Ce qui me meut' dives into the life of Marey, that 19th-century guy who really pushed the boundaries of photography and motion. The tone is this fascinating blend of comedy and biopic, which is kinda refreshing. Klapisch really captures the quirks of Marey's character, his obsession with motion – you feel it. The pacing has this nice rhythm, never drags, just like Marey’s experiments. And the practical effects used to depict his studies? They’re clever, really immersive. You get a sense of how revolutionary his work was, and the performances are charming, lending a lightheartedness to what could've been just a dry historical narrative. It’s unique, for sure, not your run-of-the-mill biopic.
