Portrait imaginaire de Gabriel Bories (1984)

Gabriel Bories is the director's father: an anarchist worker in 1936, he did time in prison, the Moroccan Rif, the children's prison... A mysterious itinerary, reinforced by a troubling resemblance to Jean Gabin. This portrait is built like a cinematographic quest with its montages, its cuts, its lightings and its shadowy zones. The viewer is also taken on a journey through history and landscapes. The journey of this father is traced with subtlety, without emotional overflow, and yet, we are moved.
