Avant Première : Un couple de Frederick Wiseman

in the presence of director Frederick Wiseman and his interpreter Nathalie Boutefeu. Filmed in the La Boulaye Garden in Belle-île. Leo and Sophia Tolstoy formed an extraordinary couple: 36 years of marriage, 13 children, intense arguments, passionate moments of reconciliation... In the expressive nature of a wild island, Sophia confides in her admiration and her fear for the author of War and Peace, on the joys and sorrows of their life together. Frederick Wiseman's film, starring Nathalie Boutefeu, brings out the words of Sophie Tolstoy, the wife of a great man who never accepted being reduced to this status. In the light of a sublime moor, in the half-wild beauties of a vast garden, in the half-light of a room lit by candlelight, she speaks. Jean-Michel Frodo.
