Pour son premier film, Vincent Delerm prolonge son travail ultrasensible sur l’intime, la mémoire et le rapport aux autres. Qu’est-ce qui nous construit ? Que ressentent les gens autour de nous ? Nos émotions et sensations n’appartiennent-elles qu’à nous ? Chaque personnage, célèbre ou anonyme, livre à Vincent Delerm quelque chose de lui, définissant sa sensibilité et sa manière de voir l’existence. Témoignages qui font sourire parfois, serrent le cœur souvent, conjuguent l’intime et l’universel. En filigrane, les propres émotions de l’auteur se dessinent le long d’un film musical, photographique, dont la narration est comme un fil invisible.

When dancer, choreographer and acrobat Yoann Bourgeois was invited by the Center des Monuments Nationaux to create a performance for the Pantheon in Paris, he chose the fight against gravity as his leitmotif. “The Mechanics of History – an attempt to approach a point of suspension” became a dizzying performance that took place in the ridge of this historic dome. The Great Ghosts is a cinematographic adaptation of this special project in a breathtaking setting. Balance and movement are the starting points for the choreography, with the famous Foucault Pendulum as the constant center. Bourgeois uses trampolines, a turntable and his famous “seesaw of frivolity”, with which he defies gravity and balances between beauty and fear. How far do the dancers dare to go while playing with Foucault’s Pendulum? And for how long?
