La cinéaste canadienne Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre vient de rentrer du prestigieux Festival international du film de Cannes où son documentaire Jutra figurait dans la programmation de la 46e Quinzaine des réalisateurs – un honneur qui n’est pas simplement accordé à un film.
Taking the risk to show, and to expose the other part of himself, 'Jutra' is a moving plastic representation. The film goes beyond any form of known filmmaking. But it's still a documentary act, in the sense that the manipulation of archive sources create the objective apprehension of a man with multiple and inclassable personalities. Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre's short film is alive, complexe and exciting.
