Plot
Poetry and cinema merge as 11 filmmakers bring to life 21 poems by Québécois poets.
Sinekatalog’s take
A Canadian documentary anthology in which eleven filmmakers bring twenty-one Quebec poems to life. Such poetry-to-image projects rise or fall with individual segments, and reception has been lukewarm. For devoted fans of poetic cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
