“Before cinema could move us, Marey learned to capture movement.”
Presented as if it were an archive from the beginning of the 20th century, like a Pathé newsreel, this film tells the story of the life of Etienne-Jules Marey, the 19th century pioneer of photography and cinema, famous for studying animal and human locomotion.
