Synopsis
"They wanted me out of the way because I stand for freedom."
He has directed the cream of France's screen actors – Michel Serrault, Bourvil, Jean Poiret, Roland Blanche – and fifty years down the track that unflagging energy is still there. What drives Jean-Pierre Mocky?
This first-ever documentary on a great filmmaker shows how against all the odds he manages to stay free and independent, joyously junking all the taboos in his tireless dedication to the Seventh Art. This is a great chance to look at those iconic movies in the context of today's cinema. As critic Jean-Louis Bory has put it, "Mocky's cinema is simple: it's there to help you live better through seeing better and hearing better."
