Abstract
In the early 1920s, cinematographic architecture is still in its infancy. If some architects (Henri Sauvage, Marcel Oudin, E.Vergnes, Charles Siclis, Auguste Bluysen) and operators aspire to the birth of a specific architecture, adapted to the projection and freed from all filiation with the theatrical inheritance, the eclecticism of the solutions implemented - sometimes even their archaism - testifies to the effervescence of these years of research. In France, it is necessary to await the commercial launch of the sounded films, then their generalization during the years 1930, so that the cinema knows a second birth. Directors of cinemas become prime contractors for a major project of modernization of cinemas. Seizing this opportunity to invent an architecture that fully meets the demands of the show and cinematographic exploitation, the architects capture and explore to the test the very concept of architectural modernity.
