'Une Histoire De Vent' (A Tale of the Wind) is an intriguing little documentary which becomes more engaging when you learn about it's creator and subject - Joris Ivens. Made in 1988 when he was 90 this was his last film and, to quote 1001MYMSBYD from which this is my 880th watch, "is one of the most graceful and haunting works of self reflection in cinema". I wouldn't go quite as far as that - but Ivens certainly had a fascinating career, making documentaries in Russia in the 30s, USA in the 40s, Vietnam in the 60s and China in the 70s amongst others, and knowing a little about his life certainly added to my appreciation of this as his epitath. . . . . . . . . . #unehistoiredevent #ataleofthewind #documentary #documentaryfilm #jorisivens #1001movies #1001moviesyoumustseebeforeyoudie #filmlist #cinema #filmmaker #russia #usa #vietnam #china #epitaph #cinéaste #cinephile https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8pY9vJCDz/?igshid=1eob8knmr8uvl
