Chaque documentaire traite d'un cinéaste, voire d'une école cinématographique (la Nouvelle Vague...), ou d'une question particulière liée au cinéma (Critique et cinéma...). Le choix des réalisateurs, comme les questions abordées sont très empreintes de la vision des Cahiers du cinéma dont André S. Labarthe est l'un des anciens rédacteurs, Janine Bazin étant par ailleurs l'épouse d'André Bazin, fondateur de la revue. Sur le plan du traitement audiovisuel, les documentaires sont assez hétérogènes et tentent d'ailleurs de s'accorder au style du réalisateur concerné : une caméra portée en plan séquence pour John Cassavetes, une conversation en voiture pour Abbas Kiarostami... D'une manière générale, les documentaires se gardent de comporter une voix-off et cherchent à donner la parole aux réalisateurs, pénétrer son univers, sans forcément recourir à l'interview. La série démarre en 1964 sur l'ORTF et se poursuit aujourd'hui sur Arte. En 1989, à l'occasion de sa reprise par Arte, la collection est rebaptisée Cinéma, de notre temps.

L'émission tente de montrer comment l'illustration a, à la fois enrichi et appauvri notre connaissance du roman. Enrichi parce qu'elle nous a fait découvrir à quel point le physique des personnages commande le comique de l'oeuvre et sa symbolique. Appauvri parce qu'elle a négligé, surtout depuis le XIXème siècle et au profit des protagonistes, la description de l'époque et du milieu, favorisant ainsi les adaptations et condensations abusives (source : Média Scérén)

"Nadja a Paris," a short film from Eric Rohmer, tells the story of a Yugoslavian-born girl (who was adopted by an American family, who goes to study at the Cite Universitaire in Paris. The character development, considering the brevity of the film, is pretty good, but overall, the film doesn't pack much of a punch at all. Rohmer's other films tend to have an overlying meaning (or "point"), often in a moral lesson. This short is basically a love letter to Paris. "We'll always have Paris." We've all heard that before, and we accept it. Hearing a student experiencing the joy of Paris for the first time isn't exactly exhilarating

The Popular Front wins elections, the Spanish Civil War begins, and Hitler and Stalin are manipulating and spying. The brilliant exile, Fiodor Voronin, a general at 20, is the deputy at the White Russian Military Union, probably slated to replace the aging Général Dobrinsky soon. Fiodor's Greek wife, Arsinoé, paints and stays away from politics, befriending Communist neighbors. Her health declines; the attentive Fiodor arranges care and, against the backdrop of Stalin's Great Purge, considers his options. He plays a chess game in which love of country, love of Arsinoé, ideology, petty jealousies, and the machinations of power roil in matters of life and death.
