Anchored in Her World - DVD/Mère et monde - DVD
Description
In 1993, Michel Langlois completed Cap Tourmente, a dramatic feature
inspired by a family he knew in Quebec’s Charlevoix region. Langlois wants in
some way to repay the members of this family (especially the mother, Yvonne
Cimon), feeling that he had stolen something from them in writing a film based
on their lives. He thus brings them back together to make a documentary about
them. But someone is missing. Geneviève, who originally introduced Langlois to
the family in 1969, is living in Mexico and refuses to return for the film.
After Lettre à mon père and The Broken
Thread, Anchored in Her World reconfirms
the autobiographical nature of Langlois’s films, even making a link
between his fictional work and his documentaries. An ambitious film, Anchored
in Her World adopts the form of a personal quest in which we
follow the filmmaker in search of himself.
