Misérable Miracle

Synopsis

Inspired by Henri Michaux's book of poetry and drawings of the same name. Masterful in both vision and execution, the film explores the limits of language and perception, creating dazzling connections between sound, meaning, shapes and movement. Propelling viewers beyond the page, guided by Tony Robinow's feverish voiceover, the poems map the human psyche to the very edges of alienation and transcendence. (Source: NFB)
