VSIt’s a book that we can admire, it’s a record and songs that we can listen to. It is therefore a mixed product which is the exception of this section which only recommends so-called books. But this is a magnificent exception. Because the drawings are beautiful, the texts successful, the music and the songs too. Anne Brouillard painted, wrote and composed. Bertille de Swarte wrote, adapted and directed. They even (a little) covered Schumann and César Franck as well as Swedish songs.
“Sometimes the earth turns its back.
She leads us in reverse.
Who is she filming for? What is she shooting for?
It turns so we don’t fall.
It still spins when the sun is golden
or when it rains outside. »
