I’m possibly embargoed from speaking too much about Arnaud Desplechin’s Spectateurs! / Filmlovers!, which debuts at the Cannes Film Festival on May 22, but suffice it to say those who’ve loved the previous entries in his Paul Dedalus saga have nothing to worry about. Ahead of that premiere––and, God willing, news of U.S. acquisition––there’s a first trailer playing up the fiction side of this peculiar doc-narrative hybrid. (Whatever it takes to fit Mathieu Amalric!)
Speaking to Variety for the trailer’s debut, Desplechin calls Filmlovers! an “infinitely personal essay” that was initially proposed as a documentary about film projection. Per its discursive style, he says, “It was easy to write because I kept coming back to my own thoughts about cinema that were in my head for over twenty years.”

Arnaud Desplechin’s hybrid documentary “Spectateurs!” (“Filmlovers”) debuted a first trailer ahead of the film’s world premiere at Cannes on May 22.
The 88-minute docu is a love letter to cinema, inspired by Desplechin’s own discovery and passion for cinema.
Per the official Cannes description of the film, Desplechin wrote: “What does it mean, to go to the movies? Why have people been going for over one hundred years? I set out to celebrate movie theaters and their manifold magic. So, I walked in the footsteps of young Paul Dédalus, as if in a filmgoer’s coming-of-age story. Memories, fiction and discoveries come together in an irrepressible torrent of pictures.”
“Spectateurs!” weaves documentary and fiction with a cast including Milo Machado Graner, the young breakthrough actor of Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall,” and well-known French actors Mathieu Amalric (“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”) and Françoise Lebrun...
