Invitation to Edouard Baer

A dandy who is at once joyful and melancholic, Édouard Baer is a man who expresses himself with communicative fantasy! Author, actor (nominated for a César for Mademoiselle de Joncquières), and now a filmmaker in his own right, he directs movies that are uniquely his own, infused with a crazy elegance and freedom. At the Lumière festival, he will present the premiere of Adieu Paris !, his fourth film.
