Miron: Un homme revenu d'en dehors du monde

2014

Overview

Writer and poet Gaston Miron comes back to life through archival documents from a variety of sources. His prose features landscapes of human beings and snow, dances with no future, and endless mines. His impassioned speeches on Quebec culture and identity are superimposed on images of demonstrations and political meetings about the future of Quebec. Between his recollections and fragments of memory, a man stands, passionate, convinced, reciting or dancing, to upset the established order and change things before it is too late.
