ON EITHER SIDE
On either side is about the last moments spent with Cécile Reims, 91 years old at the time. In 2009, Matthieu Chatellier filmed Cécile Reims and Fred Dreux in their home at La Châtre. In 2019, he came back to see Cécile. Since the death of her husband she lives on her own. She doesn’t write or engrave anymore.
She tells, for the last time, the story of her life during 20th century.
Matthieu Chatellier is a filmmaker. After completing his studies at CinéSup in Nantes and the École Nationale Supérieure Louis Lumière in Paris, he directs a few short films, notably Slow (2004), and eventually finds his creative autonomy in documentary filmmaking, blending reality with intimacy.
