Les traces du rêve

Des jardins de Versailles à l'Île-aux-Coudres, ce long métrage documentaire rend compte de l'aventure cinématographique exceptionnelle de Pierre Perrault, une aventure parallèle à l'Histoire. En même temps qu'il trace le portrait du poète-cinéaste, le film contient une analyse critique de son œuvre. Pour permettre de pousser encore plus loin la réflexion sur le cinéma et sur l'homme, chasseur d'images, à son tour traqué et révélé tout entier dans ses certitudes autant que dans ses questionnements.
