All the President’s Men turns 50 today. This famous “six‑minute shot” is a masterclass in phone acting and pure technical nerve. Director Alan J. Pakula and cinematographer Gordon Willis pull off a single, unbroken slow zoom: from a wide, humming newsroom to a tight close-up on Redford. No cuts. No safety net. Tension builds in real time. Redford carries it with typical quiet confidence. Six minutes of note-taking and talking into a phone, no flashy “Oscar clip.” He even flubs a name (“McGregor” for “Dahlberg”), corrects himself naturally, and Pakula keeps it because it feels authentic. The background is part of the story. As Woodward hones in on his phone call, everyone behind him huddles around a TV watching Senator Tom Eagleton resign. The contrast is deliberate: they chase the “obvious” headline, while the camera drifts past them to Woodward, and the real story. To hold Redford and the busy background in focus early on, they used a split‑diopter lens, then had to ease it out as the camera moves in. A technical tightrope. The timing of both actor and cinematographer is spot on. As Woodward closes in on the truth, the world literally falls away: the newsroom blurs, the noise fades, and we lock into his obsession. It’s one of cinema’s great moments: Redford doing almost nothing—and somehow everything at the same time. What makes this shot brilliant is the contrast it carves between Redford and the newsroom around him. The visual language does the talking: he’s locked in, disciplined, driven, all focus and fire. He stands apart because the work matters more than anything else.

How to address global imbalances? What are its proximate causes and what are not? What about sectoral imbalances? Solutions?

Quel obscurantisme! J’ai été comme beaucoup d’autres affilié à l’un des programmes de l’Atlantic Council; sans pour autant jamais servir la soupe à qui que ce soit à Washington! Il faut soutenir @benjaminhaddad sur cette histoire

Lots of great conversations at #wef26.

Avec Philippe Aghion (@Ph_Aghion), Antonin Bergeaud (@a_bergeaud) et Gilbert Cette, nous avons répondu à l'invitation de @lemondefr pour faire un point sur le décrochage de la productivité en Europe et en France par rapport aux Etats-Unis 👇👇👇👇

Happy heavenly birthday to "The Voice" Frank Sinatra who was born on this day in 1915. An eternal legend 🎤

President George W. Bush 2007 State of the Union Address: "Thank you very much. And tonight, I have a high privilege and distinct honor of my own -- as the first President to begin the State of the Union message with these words: Madam Speaker."

Jean-Pierre Azéma vient de nous quitter à l’âge de 88 ans. Un passé familial lourd, marqueur d’une analyse historique fouillée durant des décennies. Des générations d’historiens furent nourries de ses travaux pionniers. Merci pour tout et pour avoir montré la voie.

Thank you, Your Majesties, for the most heartfelt welcome at Windsor Castle. Long live the Franco-British friendship. Vive notre Entente amicale !

Interesting book mentioned by @ProfSteveKeen in his latest video about the Bancor. The Battle of Bretton Woods by Benn Steil.

Happy 101st birthday to Eva Marie Saint! Here she is in a wardrobe test photograph for Alfred Hitchcock’s NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959).

Eva Marie Saint is 101 years old today. North By Northwest (1959) Eva is the oldest living Oscar winner, and one of the last living stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. This scene with Cary Grant is still one of the hottest scenes ever filmed. This is how you do it, kids.

On lui doit l’incontournable de chaque remaniement ministériel. RIP Nicole Croisille

RIP Stan. Stan was my mentor and my friend. He was an outstanding economist, an outstanding policy maker, but even more importantly, a great human being. Science, commitment, honesty, and humility at the service of humankind. piie.com/publications/p…

Very sad to hear of the passing of Stan Fischer, an exceptional economist and an all-round brilliant man. He served as First DMD of the IMF from 1994 to 2001 and is still deeply respected and remembered by many of our staff. Heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

Renaud Capuçon joue le thème de la Liste de Schindler, et soudain le monde s’arrête. Une plainte douce, bouleversante, qui transperce le vacarme de notre époque de cinglés. C’est beau, c’est pur, et ça répare un peu l’âme. Merci @RCapucon.

Aujourd’hui, Emmanuel Moulin prend ses fonctions de Secrétaire général de l’Élysée à mes côtés. Je le remercie pour son engagement après des années aux plus hautes fonctions. C’est une chance pour la Présidence et pour notre pays. Je veux dire en ce jour ma gratitude et mon amitié à Alexis Kohler. Durant huit années à l’Élysée, il fut le Secrétaire général de tous les chantiers, de tous les combats. Il a œuvré, en lien avec les gouvernements successifs, avec une exigence rare, un sens de l’État constant, une passion de la France et un don de soi que j’ai pu constater à chaque instant. Notre action lui doit beaucoup et, à titre personnel, je mesure aussi pleinement tout ce que je lui dois.
