L'homme de l'Isle

2018 · 71 min · Documentary

L'HOMME DE L'ISLE is a film that offers a look at an island hunting guide and the power of his universe. It depicts a long and beautiful relationship between Gilles Gagné, a man of earthly intelligence and sensitivity, and a great Master...Jean-Paul Riopelle. Together, he hunts, he sips and above all he discusses. While one rediscovers the beauty of his world on Isle aux Oyes, the other draws inspiration from it to create works of art.

A street artist, an urban cowboy. A bruised man, a handsome poqué, but a survivor. With broad strokes of the brush, humor and friendships, he brings life to the windows of Montreal, embellishes the hearts of merchants and the souls of passers-by. Painter-poster artist – an endangered profession – Claude Dolbec chose the margins to better rediscover his fellow human beings and a sense of beauty. An inspiring love story, a story of extraordinary resilience.
