STORIES WE TELL (LES HISTOIRES QU'ON RACONTE) (SOUS-TITRES FRANAIS)

Details

• Release Year: 2012
• Genre: Documentary
• Plot: In this inspired, genre-twisting film, Oscar®-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets behind a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of a lively, fun-loving past and the shadows just beneath. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: a complex, messy, intense and deeply loving tangle of contradictions.; ; Les histoires qu'on raconte de la réalisatrice Sarah Polley est un documentaire inspiré qui renouvelle le genre. Dans ce film, produit par Anita Lee pour l'ONF, Polley se livre à une enquête amusante afin de découvrir la vérité enfouie au sein des récits contradictoires d'une famille de conteurs. Elle peint ainsi un portrait émouvant d'une famille compliquée, mais attachante.
