"À l'air libre", Mediapart's free-access program, welcomes filmmaker Alain Guiraudie, also a writer and photographer. A great French filmmaker, but not a star: glamour is not really for him. He most often anchors his cinema in the countryside, in nature, in a daily life made up of work and chance encounters that can change the course of things. "Let's go to the countryside," he says, "to film other people, other characters." A reality that he fantasizes about in order to construct films like fables, westerns or thrillers, which explore desire and claim an assumed dreaminess. On the occasion of the release of his film Miséricorde, in theaters since Wednesday, October 16, discussion around the canons of beauty and sexuality, rurality, social classes, the left, Palestine. And the need for a "cinema that looks towards utopia." Find all our “À l'air libre” programs: https://www.mediapart.fr/studio/video...
