François Lachaud

<p>Fran&ccedil;ois Lachaud, author, who lives in Provence since his birth, wanted to allegorize a political and poetical meeting between another &laquo;&nbsp;North-South&nbsp;&raquo; and to paint a dream&hellip; The one that could have made in his last &laquo;&nbsp;alive sleep&nbsp;&raquo; Ulrike Meinhof, co-founder of the Red Fraction Army (also known as &ldquo;Baader Band&ldquo;), just before being suicided on the 8th May 1976, anniversary of the capitulation of Nazi Germany &gt; The rythm of the film (and of the dream) is cadenced by the &laquo;verses&raquo; of an Ulrike Meinhof&rsquo;s letter, written between 16th June 1972 and 3rd January 1974 in a sensory deprivation cell of the dead Wing of the Stammheim&rsquo; jail (Stuttgart). &gt; The Provence, shooted here deeply naked, becomes then the perfect reverse shot of all the oppressive and incarcerating political systems and a roaming land, open to all winds, flows, mixings ; a place blessed by poets and soul anarchists, seen in the film, as the ultimate resort of the imagination before the void.</p>
