15 April 2019 the eyes of the media and the world have stopped on the cathedral of Notre Dame. A fire broke out in the attic, collapsing the central spire and destroying part of one of the symbols of world art. Those tragic 24 hours, from the beginning of the fire to the extinguishing of the flames, are told in the film Notre Dame on fire by Jean Jaques Annaud (from 28 March in cinemas and from 15 April on Sky Cinema and streaming on Now).
The director de The Name of The rose through archive images (collected between 20 thousand videos shot that day by the French) and fiction, tells how the fire developed (probably caused by a short circuit), such as the news has reached the firefighters And at the Elyséethe difficulties of the rescuers to reach the place due to the crowd and the disbelief of the Parisians.
How was that fascinating demon that fell on a monument that symbolizes beauty and sacredness been tamed? Annaud mainly tells how the firefighters intervened, the difficulties encountered, how the relics (especially the crown of thorns of Jesus) were saved and the decision to create a team of volunteers willing to do anything to avoid the worst.
“They are real superheroes “says the director, “when I met them to shoot the film they talked to me about firefighter profession as a vocation, a term more related to church and faith people. They too have the faith to help. An attitude common to all firefighters, not just those of Paris ».
