Synopsis

Aurore and Royaume serve as the backdrop for Marc Hurtado's 1994 documentary, 'Bleu.' The film investigates a unique cinematic approach that prioritizes the experience of images as sensations. It articulates the need for analytical tools to discuss lesser-known films and their artistic merits. By connecting these works to the broader history of cinema, 'Bleu' invites a reevaluation of visual storytelling and the sensory experiences it can evoke.
