Les voiles bas et en travers
Directed by Pierre Perrault
Pierre Perrault takes Stéphane-Albert Boulais (from 'The Bright Beast', one of his films) to discover Saint-Malo and Jacques Cartier, in preparation for the 450th anniversary of the discovery of Canada (1534-1984). City tour with guide. Examination of Cartier's "Relations" and testimonies from the life of Falklands sailors, in an attempt to reconstruct his journey, his life, his time. Dialogue across the Atlantic between Saint-Malo and Île-aux-Coudres, the discoverer's mooring place. Who was Cartier? Who does it belong to? The discussion is open.
