Abstract

French director Jean-Claude Brisseau (1944-2019) started his career as a social realist. Over time, he gradually abandoned his harsh semidocumentary approach to filmmaking and adopted a more visually refined style. The imagery in his films reflected metaphysical and often esoteric contents. Searching for meaning in life, some of his characters became able to rise above the triviality of everyday material existence. The artist’s belief in the existence of a transcendent world was closely associated with his admiration for the female body. He saw the ideal aesthetic representation of beauty. Brisseau demonstrated his affection for the „eternal feminine” in such films as Sound and Fury (De bruit et de fureur, 1987), Céline (1992), Secret Things (Choses secrètes, 2002) and À l’aventure (2008). Almost all of his pictures prove his strong affinity with surrealist’ ideals.
