Pierre Guyotat, le don de soi (2022)

Directed by Jacques Kébadian

Documentary · 1h 51m

Pierre Guyotat at home, between 2002 and 2009: scenes from a writer’s life. First he organises his library : each book is an occasion for comments, reminiscences, questionnings. Then he is seen at work, preparing an edition of his Notebooks with his assistant, based on manuscripts from the 1960s. He is finally seen in his room, sitting in bed, discoursing on french kings and working out a text out loud, in a hypnotic self-dictation. Because Pierre Guyotat offers himself unrestrainedly to Jacques Kébadian’s attentive filming, this most precious of films gives us a rare glimpse into a writer’s intimacy: into his labour and passion. (Cyril Neyrat)
