What does it mean, to go to the movies? Why have people been going for over one hundred years? I set out to celebrate movie theaters and their manifold magic. So I walked in the footsteps of young Paul Dédalus, as if in a filmgoer's coming-of-age story. Memories, fiction, discoveries come together in an irrepressible torrent of pictures.

“Filmlovers!” cheerfully makes the point that we grow with cinema, and cinema with us. On the evidence of this fizzy little film, Desplechin’s not done growing yet.

Desplechin effortlessly shifts through layers of fiction and reality in order to explore the fluidity with which great filmmaking, and our experience of it, blurs boundaries between the two.

Filmlovers! is no theory-laden yakfest; it’s a personal walk through the charged territory of a life’s movie-loving story.

But, at the end of the day, it gets the job done: inspiring a desire to step into the nearest theater for another serving of big-screen delight.

Rated: 7/10
