About This Movie

Lire is this intriguing piece from '86 that really flips the way we think about documentaries. Shot in just one long take, it draws you into the world of the writer as they read their latest work. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere – the room, the writer's expression, the weight of the words. It’s not about flashy edits or big production; it's raw and intimate. You’re really there with them, sharing a moment that feels personal. There's something quite profound about how it captures the act of reading, almost like a performance art piece. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind after the credits roll, making you reflect on the nature of storytelling itself.
