This film, released at Cannes (out of competition) in 2012, is now being shown in the UK and is likely to show up in the U.S. in the near future. The fact that the UK release is apparently national (see The Guardian video review below) must mean that the film has been subtitled in English.
If you live in Quebec, or have access via a Virtual Private Network to a Quebec server, it is available now from the National Film Board of Canada for download rental. The NFB version, which I have not been able to access because my VPN uses an Ontario server, may well be without subtitles.
As recently as two weeks ago, the film was available, in French, in full on the internet, but I can no longer find the link. It may have been taken down.

Brief Wikipedia article (in French) on co-filmmaker (also Depardon's spouse and Éric Rohmer collaborator), Claudine Nougaret: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudine_Nougaret
Wikipedia article (in English) on Depardon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Depardon
If you speak French, there are several video interviews with Nougaret and Depardon about the film on YouTube and elsewhere.
The documentary was apparently shot in 35mm on this camera: http://www.abelcine.com/store/Aaton-...e-35mm-Camera/
One thing is clear. Depardon has the spiffiest dark cloth ever. And he has good taste in tripods :)
P.S. I accidentally posted this earlier to the Resources sub-forum. It should be deleted from there.
