Initially developed by Emilie in another company, "Le Bézoard" is the first film professionally produced for Laure-Élie Chénier-Moreau, after several self-produced films. The young director takes a roundabout route, that of the fantastic tale, to tell us about the mourning of her mother. Mourning is paradoxical: it is universal, because we will all face it at one time or another. It is intimate, because we all experience it in our own way. This is also the paradox that so-called "auteur" cinema must embody, the kind we champion at Insolence: to be deeply imbued with a vision, while not forgetting to speak to the other, the viewer who is watching the work. This is a successful gamble for this strange filmic object, which after its premiere at PIFFF has had a string of great selections (Gérardmer, Brussels, Court Métrange, etc.) as well as being broadcast on Canal +.
