Jouer Trailer
An original portrait of the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon (1934 – 2005). Sometimes adored, sometimes snubbed, Folon is still world renowned as one of the most influential Belgian painters of the second half of the twentieth century. In this film, the first about the debonair poet and terribly ambitious artist, Folon’s story is told through audio archives that reveal his vision of art and the world, the tragedies in his life, and his insatiable hunger for encounters and experiences.
