Boom Boom

In the News • 1h 47m

Directed by Laurie Lassalle • Documentary • 2022 • 110 minutes

"I meet Pierrot in the fall of 2018. We protest together in the heart of the "Gilets jaunes" movement. The earth trembles and so do our hearts. Our bodies mingle with thousands of others who express their anger in the street every Saturday." Laurie Lassalle was among those who maintained a presence in Paris. Her voice-over questions her desire to be part of the crowd – inseparable from her desire to meet up with Pierrot.
