A popular auteur film, a project without limits, and a true cultural phenomenon, Titanic is way more than just a blockbuster with 400 million tickets sold and $2 billion at the box office. Thought by James Cameron as a "metaphor for the end of the human race", the last Hollywood blockbuster of the 20th century paints an enlightening picture of both the time and industry in which it was born.
In 1997, as the year 2000 approached, the film reflects, with unsettling clarity, the political, social, and environmental upheavals of a world on the edge of collapse. Unbridled capitalism, rampant inequality, climate change denial: more than 25 years after its release, Titanic still resonates with current events.
Supported by rare archival footage such as behind-the-scenes clips, Cameron’s notes and storyboards, accounts from his peers and filmmakers he has inspired, Jeanne Bruel’s documentary recreates the epic story of a landmark work and finally restores its true political and visionary significance.
