EA3 (Troisième exercice d'admiration : Jean Cocteau)

Directed by Vincent Dieutre

In September 2008, at the crack of dawn, a small film crew met in a house in Provence to give substance to a memory. During his childhood, whilst watching television, Vincent Dieutre heard Jean Cocteau’s La Voix humaine—created by Berthe Bovy with the Comédie française in 1930. He set out to find what so troubled him at the time in this “firestorm of words” and shot a “clandestine, feverish film” as an exercise in admiration as night falls.
