Short documentary portrait of film historian and critic Lotte Eisner, filmed just months before her death in 1983. Sitting before her bookshelf filled with cinema essays, Eisner recounts her life and career — from early work in Berlin, exile during Nazism, to co‑founding the Cinémathèque Française with Henri Langlois. The interview is interwoven with film stills and clips, exploring her passion for cinema and connections with figures like Murnau and Lang.
