Watch Reporters For Free
Reporters
The co-founder of the Gamma press agency, Raymond Depardon, created this documentary of press photographers in Paris and their subjects by following the photographers around for one month, in October, 1980. In-between long hours waiting for a celebrity to emerge from a restaurant or a hotel, boredom immediately switches to fast action as the cameras click and roll when the person appears. The reaction to the gaggle of photographers is as varied as the people they often literally chase all around town. While some of the celebrities, such as Jacques Chirac who was mayor of Paris at the time, are perceived as comical caricatures, others are shown simply going about ordinary pursuits - including Catherine Deneuve, Gene Kelly, and Jean-Luc Godard.

Reviews
That was an excellent one.
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The surprise. Whereas one expects a small documentary " mode " and surely rather narcissistic on the world of the photojournalists, crunched by one as of their, " Reporters " the frightening mirror of a political reality suddenly exposed proves to be. Really demystificator (cf Chirac), corrodent with wish, the film shows the power of the image imparablement, its subversive capacity.
