La Maison de la radio (2013)
Directed by Nicolas Philibert

Documentary

Film Synopsis

In this eye-opening fly-on-the-wall documentary, filmmaker Nicolas Philibert takes us behind the scenes of the beloved institution that is Radio France and sheds some light on the frenetic life that isn't broadcast over the airwaves.  In the course of one full day, from one busy dawn to the next, we are taken into the recording studios and down corridors bustling with activity as producers, presenters and their wide range of guests go about their honourable day and night jobs of informing and entertaining their audience across France and beyond.  It is a world that few us will ever see for ourselves, a closeted realm operating by its own rules and adhering to its own peculiar customs - the colourful yet invisible world of public broadcast radio...

The greatest French Films of all time
