L'esprit du jeu

"Adrénaline" proposes a string of short surrealist films presenting at various levels an interesting mix of mild gore, cynical humor and absurd surrealism.

This documentary is not a straightforward portrait of Armenian film director Sergei Paradjanov's life, but rather a fluid celebration of his talent and creativity. Focusing on the collages he produced during his years in prison, and featuring interviews with the director himself, Cazals' film demonstrates the scope of Paradjanov's artistic vision, lovingly commemorating this rebel of art cinema.
