Documentary
"Lyon in 96 minutes" is, with a subjective camera and in a single sequence shot lasting one hour and 36 minutes, a stroll through the city of Lyon which begins on the Fourvière hill and its basilica and ends on the other Lyon hill, that of Croix-Rousse. Between these two summits, the film plunges into Old Lyon by taking the Chemin des Rosaires, the climb (in the direction of descent) of Chazeaux, crosses the Place Saint-Jean bordered by the cathedral of the same name which it visit, then runs along the Palais de Justice, the banks of the Saône which it crosses at the Feuillée bridge. The journey continues via rue d'Algérie, the famous Place des Terreaux with its town hall and the Palais Saint-Pierre, rue Puits Gaillot, the slopes of Croix-Rousse with its multitude of steps and staircases which lead us on the tray. The film ends on the esplanade of Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse and the Gros Caillou of ice house origin. - Gérard Courant
