Hergé, à l’ombre de Tintin

Produced for the exhibition Hergé at the Grand Palais in Paris, this film by Hugues Nancy immerses viewers in the world of Tintin. It also deconstructs the creative process of Georges Remi, the Belgian cartoonist better known as Hergé, while looking back at his artistic path. In each stage of his life, from his early days as a Boy Scout to his lifelong fascination with contemporary art, Tintin was never far away. Interviews with fans and experts, as well as Hergé himself, allow us to better understand the phenomenon of Tintin, whose fame exceeded that of his creator. We discover a gifted and single-minded man who, at the end of his life, was a prisoner to his craft, chained to his drawing table.
