Los Monograficos de "apostrophes" (4 DVDs) [DVD]

THE APOSTROPHES MONOGRAPHS Pack with a selection of five exceptional programs by Bernard PIVOT, made between 1975 and 1984 for French public television. DVD 1 - 65 min. Color 1975 - VLADIMIR NABOKOV Coinciding with the publication in France of Ada o el ardor, Nabokov accepted the invitation of Bernard Pívot. It was a doubly exceptional fact: because of the indisputable quality of the program, and because Nabokov very rarely gave interviews. DVD 2 - 70 min. Color 1979 - MARGUERITE YOURCENAR The author of the Memoirs of Hadrian and Opus nigrum, Marguerite Yourcenar, one of the most elusive French public figures jealous of her privacy, received Bernard Pívot at her North American refuge in Mont Desert. DVD 3 - 68 min. Color 1977 - ALBERT COHEN The author of Bella del Señor was very reluctant to grant interviews. In this program recorded in Geneva, he reflects on his work and his obsessions: Jewish identity and anti-Semitism, love and sex, humor and women. DVD 4 - 75 min. Color 1984 - MARGUERITE DURAS After ten years of silence and severe alcoholism, in 1979 Marguerite Duras resurfaced with a resounding success: The Lover. A unique opportunity to get up close and personal with one of the most interesting literary phenomena of the century. DVD 5 - 75 min. Color 1981 - GEORGES SIMENON Georges Simenon had just lost his daughter, who had committed suicide. Despite this, and following the publication of his Intimate Memories, he agreed to hold an interview of more than an hour with Bernard Pivot, with brutal sincerity.
