Buddy Joe

Film et interview avec le réalisateur

“Un après-midi, Hilton, artiste-décorateur de soixante-dix ans se confie au micro de son beau-fils, Julien. Atteint depuis l’âge de quarante ans de la maladie de Parkinson, il en connait par cœur tous les aspects. Entre réalité et fantasme, il évoque cette vie à deux, avec son boulet, son « Buddy Joe ».”

“Hilton, age 70, is a painter and decorator who has been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for 30 years. One afternoon he confides to his step-son Julien’s camera how he imagines his disease being caused by an ice hockey skater who is slashing neurons in his brain. Hilton calls the skater his “buddy” Joe, but now the time has come to take stock of his long struggle, and his life.”

The film’s gaphics is inspired by american painter Edward Hopper.
