Edgar Morin, chronique d'un regard
Edgar Morin, the centenarian thinker, sifts through the archives of his life. Newsreel footage intercuts with contemporary interviews where the sociologist and philosopher reflects on his journey. The film follows his gaze, weaving together personal dramas—the loss of his mother, his role in the French Resistance—with the global upheavals of the 20th century. We witness the formation of his method of 'complex thought,' which urges us to see unity within the world's diversity. It is a voyage through epochs where personal memory becomes a key to understanding human history.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This documentary portrait eschews dry biographical linearity, favoring a montage of ideas and memories. The camera captures Morin's lively, ironic gaze, transforming philosophical concepts into emotional experience.
What lingers after the credits is the rare sensation of engaging with a mind that refuses to separate theory from life, or politics from poetry. It is an invitation to look at our own century with more connective, complex thought. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Olivier Bohler
