Description
"In the Hollywood firmament, Jean-Marc Vallée's star shines brighter than ever. In the Mecca of world cinema, he is considered one of the best directors in the world."
On December 25, 2021, Quebec lost one of its greatest filmmakers, Jean-Marc Vallée. This little boy from Rosemont became a legend thanks to his film CRAZY, which marked the history of Quebec cinema and opened the doors of Hollywood to him.
Breaking free from the conventions of traditional biography, this book recounts Vallée's fabulous and improbable destiny. Drawing on some fifty interviews they conducted with his loved ones and the artists he touched and inspired in Quebec — Denis Villeneuve, Xavier Dolan, Evelyne Brochu, Marc-André Grondin — as well as abroad — Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Vanessa Paradis —, the authors take us behind the scenes of his creative genius: the ideas that inhabited him, the projects he contemplated, the dreams he cherished.
A vibrant tribute to an exceptional filmmaker and man, enriched with numerous previously unseen photos.
