Carte blanche à Michel Marc Bouchard

En parallèle du cycle d’adaptations filmiques des œuvres de Michel Marc Bouchard que nous présentons, nous avons proposé à l’auteur de se prêter au jeu de la carte blanche et de programmer quelques films qui lui tiennent à cœur : c’est ainsi qu’il nous entraîne dans un voyage personnel à travers le cinéma italien, où se croisent films de grands maîtres et œuvres contemporaines, fresques splendides et chroniques intimes.

Never before in cinema has the essence of fascism been so clearly emphasized, the reasons for its hold on bodies and hearts, this mass phenomenon caused by the fear of abnormality, to the point of denying all personality. The miracle is that nothing is ever demonstrated, explained or asserted. Not the shadow of the beginning of a demonstration.
