Director: Jean-Jacques Annaud
Rating: 4/5
‘Notre Dame is Burning’ is a documentary style disaster movie that has you its grip all through. The very real incident, the fire in the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris in April 2019, that left the entire world shocked and devastated, has been recreated meticulously in a studio setting with all the majesty, tension, suspense and thrill that it deserves. It’s all so organically accomplished that you would be hard-pressed to find a chink in co-writer/Director Jean-Jacques Annaud and scenarist Thomas Bidegain’s armour.
The film exposes the entire system that was supposed to protect and preserve one of the most ancient and beautiful monuments (replete with priceless artifacts) of the world. While the film raises many questions as to the lack of modern hi-tech preservation, protection, pre-defined plan of intervention in case of disastrous emergencies such as this, it also creates a humdinger of an experience of the minute to minute unfolding of a multi-pronged effort to douse the fires of neglect and public anguish. It’s a thrill-a-minute spectacle that Annaud recreates with all the heft and experience of a veteran filmmaker who sparingly uses technology to shore up his arsenal of adrenaline gushing events.
