Shot a year before his disappearance, an intimate and enchanting portrait of John Berger imbued with softness, playfulness and intellectual finesse. The countless passions of John Berger, art, life, politics, love of motorcycles, too, his infinite and poetic reflection on vision, unfold through meetings with his friends, collaborators, his family.

This film opens in a warm and joyful way the multiple perspectives of a work forever invigorating.

Course by Frédéric Ogée, (Professor Emeritus of British Literature and Art History at Université Paris Cité and École du Louvre)

Today still considered revolutionary, the documentary series in 4 parts, Ways of Seeing, produced for the BBC in 1972 by John Berger and the director Mike Dibb, as well as the book published thereafter, offer a new perspective on art and how images are constructed.

John Bergerexamines the evolution of our gaze since the creation of these works, and Ways of Seeing continues to profoundly influence our perception and understanding of art and image.
