Trente tableaux

Paule Baillargeon a 37 ans, 11 ans, 65 ans… Dans ce long métrage documentaire composé de fragments, elle se raconte. C’est l’histoire d’une femme, d’une cinéaste, d’une mère, d’une féministe, d’une artiste. D’une comédienne aussi, qui livre la narration de ce texte puissant qui berce et secoue à la fois. Ce sont des images fortes, les siennes, filmées, dessinées, animées, qui dressent le portrait d’une vie sauvage, rebelle et douce à la fois. Autobiographie que ces Trente tableaux? Plutôt un conte authentique, imprévisible et unique comme le sont toutes les vies.

Lead a discussion on the following questions: What parts of the portrait seem brightest and darkest? How are different generations of women depicted? What role does the body play? What about the narration? In what way does the director redirect her anger and fears? Finally, invite students to create autobiographical vignettes in the form of five self-portraits.
