Portrait of Alain Emery: The Child Who Did Not Know How to Smile
2008, French. Directed by Arnaud Dommerc.
Through the portrait of Alain Emery, who in 1953 embodied the child of the film 'White Mane', directed by Albert Lamorisse, this film is a tribute to the Camargue, its winter light, its peculiar rhythms to the men and women, guardians, bull-breeders and fishermen who give this land an incredible wild beauty. Returning to the scene of filming, this film goes in search of the poetic force that flows from end to end in Lamorisse's film.
