The Earth for the Living

La Terre aux vivants

Synopsis

Paul Vecchiali’s short ode to self-immolation, made in cahoots with the French Federation of Cremation. Didactic and semi-documentary, but, like another dust story, Franju’s Les Poussières, always personal. A film about the body, parents, memory and love after death. With Vecchiali and Françoise Lebrun.
