Description

The exhibition Top Secret explores the theme of espionnage in cinema. Presented at the Cinémathèque from 21 October 2022 to 21 May 2023, it focuses on films and actors  who have played a spy role, whether fictional or historical, representing characters ranging from    Mata Hari to James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Edward Snowden.

The plots in the films set against a backdrop of war or tension between countries resonate with the history of a century. The exhibition displays unusual gadgets,costumes, archives and works of art that illustrate this film genre and also seeks to deconstruct a 'sexist' representation of the figure of the female spy by highlighting their strategic contribution.

La Cinémathèque française

Housed in a resolutely modern building designed by architect Frank Gehry, the Cinémathèque Française is entirely devoted to cinema. It continues to convey a passion for cinema through its many resources and activities, notably the Musée Méliès, exhibitions, screenings, meetings and talks, library, and a bookshop. Georges Méliès is known throughout the world as one of the first great cinema geniuses. Matin Scorsese pays a touching tribute to him with his film 'Hugo', and the image of the rocket in the eye of the Man in the Moon is now engraved on everyone's memory. The museum invites visitors to explore the life and work of this extraordinary character, and to embark on a magical journey through the history of cinema, where magic, wonder and science fiction combine, from the first films with special effects to more recent ones.
