Jean Dupuy Ypudu

Portrait of Jean Dupuy, a person with multiple lives: trailblazer in technological art, performer and organiser-extraordinaire of artistic soirées in the effervescence of New York in the 1970 – 1980’s, who became a ​‘graphologist’, hermit, tinkerer and anagrammer who withdrew at the end of his life to Pierrefeu, a perched village at the top of a mountain in the hinterland of Nice. The film weaves in private conversations between Jean Dupuy and the film director, and personal testimony from Patricia Brignone, Catherine Cattaneo, Augustin Dupuy, Alexandre Gérard, Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux, Éric Mangion, Jeffrey Perkins, Julia Robinson and Christian Xatrec.
