LES CAHIERS ADJANI

How far can a passion for Isabelle Adjani take you? A filmed diary by an unusual collector.

For forty years, Cyril Brody has collected everything related to French actress Isabelle Adjani, carefully cutting out magazine covers, interviews and photographs and pasting them into large notebooks. Now on volume 42, he sets out to understand this strange passion. In his white explorer’s suit, he dives into his archives and meets other collectors. But Adjani is only a pretext. His collection becomes a refuge, a protective screen and an indirect way of telling a long-hidden story. Between meticulously organised notebooks and absurd situations, Cyril Brody offers a funny and profound portrait of our secret attachments.
