An influential critic, writer, historian, director and professor, Jean Douchet has been a beacon for several generations of critics, cinephiles and directors. The sharpness of his gaze, his intelligence and sense of humour, the freshness of his reflection and his will to share his thoughts make him the mentor of a whole new way of watching and creating films.


Jean Douchet, Restless Child seeks to share this incredible figure, featuring commentary by, among others, Arnaud Desplechin, Barbet Schroeder and Xavier Beauvois.
