The Eden of La Ciotat

To give creativity free reign, in the space of fifty minutes: this is the strength of the documentary series CinĂ©mas mythiques. This episode gives the critic Alain Bergala complete freedom to commemorate the original Éden de La Ciotat cinema. The oldest continuously operating cinema in the world first opened as a theatre in 1889, but the very same year it also hosted its first commercial film screening, comprised of nineteen LumiĂšre “views”. Threatened with closure in the 1980s, the cinema was reopened in 2013 after a restoration project. This luminous documentary accompanies Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne over the course of a few days in October 2021 as they walk through the Teatro Éden, the shipyard and the Palais LumiĂšre built by Antoine LumiĂšre, the father of Auguste and Louis. And it does not forget the legendary station from L’ArrivĂ©e d’un train en gare de La Ciotat.
