Résumé anglais The movie fans'adventure : Positif (1952-1989), Thierry Frémaux. Created in 1952 by a few students from Lyons, the magazine Positif was one of the most vital incarnations of the great wave of demanding and militant film enthusiasm which emerged in the 1950s and was to level off in the 1970s. Often opposed to Cahiers du cinema, the journal defended a cinema of social denunciation and erudite criticism, committed and passionate, which made up a " style " of its own and brought about its success. But this search for a kind of cinematographic purity ended up by isolating Positif, whose audience has declined considerably. The history of a magazine thus becomes material for a cultural history of today's France.
