The author examines several points of view in order to show how cinema makes use of references to the eighteenth century, selecting two thematics that characterize the most notable works. The imaginary of libertinism and the legend of the Revolution are two complex objects which have at the best of times forced cinema to keep its distance and to free itself from routine illustration and to invent its own particular methods. The importance of Diderot, who, as Eisenstein put it, "talked about cinema," and his impact on directors inspired by his works are stressed.
