Du Baptême à Je dis -M-

2001 · 52 min

This is an intimate look at the creative process, feeling earnest and focused on the journey of artistic self-discovery.

Overview
In the late '90s, French musician Matthieu Chedid prepares to launch his solo career. Filmed by his sister Émilie, this intimate documentary captures the behind-the-scenes creation of -M-—from his debut album "Le Baptême" to the mainstream success of "Je dis aime". The film reveals how a reserved guitarist crafted his colorful, eccentric alter ego to become a major figure on the French rock scene.
