"Jacques Brel, fou de vivre" (2017, 116’, Philippe Kohly, French)
Drawing the portrait of Jacques Brel is confronting the might of an outstanding author and singer. It amounts to come very close to an accomplished personality; multi-faceted and full of contradictions; a personality that shines when it goes on stage; just to naturally dims, as it retrieves to family environment. He was born a bourgeois; yet ended his life an adventurer; never tried to turn his back to his condition and his perceived destiny. He passed away at forty-nine; thus ending a strained life; all made as stiff trajectory; where he seldom made concessions to mediocrity. This long documentary takes us into a journey, where we shall come to know that the artwork of this monumental musician is still very much an enduring novel, despite forty years, when he was gone.
