The Super 8 Years (Les années Super-8)
Nobel Laureate and internationally acclaimed writer Annie Ernaux transforms her home movies into a fascinating exploration of self and family life.
The Super 8 Years is a record of lives lived between 1972 and 1981. Annie Ernaux, working with her son David, has drawn together footage that was mostly shot by her ex-husband (and David?s father) Philippe.
It?s a detailed account of domestic family life, at home and abroad, while also recording the period when Ernaux first became a published author.
As a result, the film ultimately becomes a record of a marriage in a state of gradual decline, as well as the blossoming of her writing career.
