This profile of director Alexandre Trannoy is profoundly moving. But you would be forgiven for asking 'Alexandre who?' because Trannoy never completed a single film in his 30-year career, despite working on multiple projects and with illustrious names like Jean Rochefort, Anouk Aimée, Lino Ventura and Marlene Dietrich. A fascinating study of a noble dreamer.

In 1818, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, a powerful and timelessness novel which eternal theme is nothing other than man's quest for the secret of life. Since then, the Creature became a pop culture icon, overshadowing the novel and Doctor Frankenstein himself.

Based on unpublished interviews with the family, Jean-Claude Carrière, his writer and biographer, family archives, mini-fictions that dramatize the memories evoked and in constant echo with the upcoming films whose images seem to crystallize over the narrative, we wish to reinterpret Luis Buñuel's work through these decisive years, revealing hidden coherence, originality and beauty.
