By The Editors Parlez-vous français? Don't worry if you don't know French. "The Super 8 Years," an autobiographical film and directorial debut of French author Annie Ernaux has subtitles. (Sorry if you're a 'dubs, not subs' type but yay if you're not?) This 61-minute journey in home movies delves into the author/director's family life from 1972 to 1981. Chronicling the highs and lows of being a wife, mother, and young author, "The Super 8 Years" tiptoes the boundaries of nostalgia without lingering too long there. While you might expect to see French suburban life of a certain era portrayed in the all-Super 8 film, it's not all you see. You also catch glimpses of Albania, Egypt, Spain, and the USSR. Perhaps most poignantly, you see and hear Ernaux's observations about how what's not shown on camera says the most about her marriage, its eventual decline, and how this period was crucial to her becoming a published writer. "The Super 8 Years" opens Dec. 17, 2022 at DCTV in New York City. Find out more here.
