Claude Jutra, portrait sur film -- Film Description:
"He was the brilliant director of Mon oncle Antoine, a friend and collaborator of François Truffaut, Bernardo Bertolucci and Jean Rouch, his genius hailed around the world by critics and artists like John Cassavetes, Jean Renoir, Cocteau, the shining star of a generation of Quebec filmmakers. He was also an actor, a writer, a painter and a medical doctor. Claude Jutra was full of surprises, none greater than his suicide in the face of the ravages of Alzheimer's disease at the age of 56, in the waters of the St. Lawrence River. He left behind a legion of friends, and one of them, director Paule Baillargeon, set out to explore the mystery of this extraordinary life. Claude Jutra: An Unfinished Story offers a touching and intimate portrait of this daring artist, highlighting his brilliant achievements while tenderly probing the darkness that lay beneath."
