One of the most spooky and unexpected documentaries I have ever come across. Natan was the Sam Goldwyn of French cinema but as forgotten today as it is possible to be.

It is easy to see how the French might wish to see his story left untold. But you will have to see the film to understand why since it unfolds in a series of revelations that fill in the details as Natan’s life one by one. I was hooked by the opening sequence and narration more completely than I can think of any such film having previously succeeded in doing, with the opening sequence used as the trailer shown above. The makers of the film also understood what a mystery they have constructed and neither they nor I would wish to give you a single hint about what you will discover if you get to see it for yourself.
