2007 | Color | 1h 53 Back in 1975, Nicolas Philibert was a young assistant to filmmaker René Allio. They made the film Moi, Pierre Rivière, ayant égorgé ma mère, ma soeur et mon frère? (I, Pierre Rivière, having cut the throat of my mother, my sister and my brother)?, inspired by a crime that took place in Normandy 140 years before. This film owed its singularity and beauty to the fact that all the main roles were played by peasants of the region. Thirty years later, Nicolas Philibert went back to Normandy to find those peasants and see what they had become. Some are no longer alive and others have emigrated but he tries to recover their story in his new movie: Return to Normandy.

At Averroes & Rosa Parks Averroès and Rosa Parks are two psychiatric units in the same network as the Adamant, the clinic in Nicolas Philibert’s film Sur l’Adamant. Here, Philibert continues to explore this topic. From individual interviews to patient/carer meetings, we find a form of psychiatry that strives to rehabilitate patients’ words. In an increasingly depleted health system, how can the forsaken find a place in society? See More
