Madly in love with New York, Raymond Depardon made this short visual essay as an admission of failure, and won the César for best short film. In a few sublime black and white images, he filmed the city as if on its outskirts, from the outside and confessed: “I couldn't manage to film the city, it was too much, my thoughts were elsewhere”.
