Forcenés

2013 · 38 min

A quiet, unhurried sit with a reader and a musician, more like eavesdropping on a literary recital than watching a film.

Overview
Excerpts from a reading of texts on the heroes of the Tour de France by Jacques Bonnaffé, accompanied by Louis Sclavis on clarinet and sax. Complementary bonus film to the DVD edition of "La Maison de la Radio" (November 2013).
