LAUZON LAUZONE

Through the personal testimony of a friend, this film invites us into the intimate world of the great Quebec director Jean-Claude Lauzon. Featuring stories from various people who knew him at different stages of his life, the film allows us to discover an intense, complex and extraordinarily perceptive individual: a courageous and tormented artist whose vision established a turning point in Canadian cinema. Behind his much-publicized arrogance, Lauzon the provocateur was a vulnerable man who constantly struggled with the fear of falling into depression and mental illness.

CINEMANIA's opinion:
A captivating documentary that offers great insight into the films and creative process of the director of LÉOLO and NIGHT ZOO. Louis Bélanger is intent on honouring the truth of his subject, whose determination and desire for independence are exhibited throughout the film. A source of inspiration for artists, creators and anyone who wants to follow their dreams until they become real.
