ALEXANDRE KOJÈVE, knowingly

Story

Synopsis

"In 1989, thanks to the addresses given to me by Jean Daive, I contacted Kojève's partner, Nina Ivanoff, then his niece, Nina Kousnetzoff. Nina Ivanoff allowed me to photograph the apartment in Vanves, which had remained as it was since Kojève's death, to admire the many photographs he took until the 1950s and to meet many of his friends. After reading "The Introduction to Reading Hegel", this was my first contact with Kojève's reality and since then the desire to make a film has not left me". (François Lagarde).
