Pour tous les cinéphiles, Serge Daney demeure une figure nécessaire, scruteur d'images éclairé et plume inoubliable. Dans un entretien accordé à Régis Debray en 1992, quelques mois avant de disparaître, le critique fait défiler sa vie comme un film. Durant trois heures d'entretiens, il lègue un demi siècle de réflexions et d'expériences originales consacrées aux images. Trois heures de pensée en mouvement, trois heures d'une parole vivante, unique et éloquente.
