Un petit cas de conscience

Two lesbians are victims of a break-in. Together with their clan of friends, they undertake a wild investigation, with suspense and rigour, to arrive at the truth.

"Le Maire de Quillan" tells how a pig became mayor of the village. "Le Moine change en ane" is a story with four characters where the monk and the donkey become one.

Comme si, comme ça

What should we do today with poems from the past ? Why do poetry today and how ? Sitting behind his desk, Michel Deguy, great living poet, speaks, smokes and thinks with the same generous enthusiasm. Marie-Claude Treilhou records the thinking words, articulates their development through a series of readings or sung recitations of the poems dissected by their author. Fathoming the depths of “ecopoeticology” of Deguy, Comme si, comme ça makes up the most sober and vivid of portraits. “Without ever bragging”, as suggested by the contemporary ethics the poet formulates in the film.
