Sous le soleil de Pialat (2021)
Directed by William Karel
Overview
In just ten films, Maurice Pialat painfully rose to the top of the cinema, draining into his legend a mad demand for truth as much as memorable fury to achieve it. With “L’Enfance nue”, his first feature film at the age of 43, the filmmaker immediately made his mark, this “art of making things authentic”, according to Chabrol. But throughout an unclassifiable filmography in the form of an autobiography, from a break-up to his fatherhood in wonder, through the agony of his mother, the filmmaker does not get rid of the feeling of being misunderstood, despite international recognition.
