Runtime: 64
Les Deux Lyon is, in a subjective camera and in a single sequence of just over an hour, a wandering through the city of Lyon that begins from the hill of Fourvière and its basilica to end on the other hill in Lyon, that of Croix-Rousse. Between these two peaks, the film sinks into Old Lyon by taking the chemin des Rosaires, the ascent (in the direction of the descent) of the Chazeaux, crosses the Place Saint-Jean bordered by the cathedral of the same name (in the process of renovation), then runs along the Palace of Justice (hidden in part by a palisade due to work), The journey continues through the rue d'Algérie, the famous Place des Terreaux with its town hall and museum of fine arts, rue Puits Gaillot, the slopes of the Croix-Rousse with its multitude of steps and stairs that lead us to the Plateau. The film ends on the esplanade of Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse and the Gros Caillou of glacial origin that is climbed by children.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
