Prevel (I think thats his name)

My life and times with Antoin Artaud. Not the life of Antoin Artaud. It was not suppose to be an in depth look at Artaud's methods but the effect he had on others, for example the anticipation Prevel has when waiting to meet him at the beginning etc etc... It is a look at how Prevel was effected by Artaud's life and supposed madness. Yes, there where moments of Artaud's method in the film but it was not the crux of the film. So if we were to look at a film point of view I find it difficult to give it less than a 4 because I found it entertaining and poignant. Yes, there are flaws but it did not detract from the enjoyment of the film.

As a way of studying Artaud there are moments where it is useful and many of his techniques where used to great effect but as an entire film it would be pointless to show a group of scholars. It would be better to show them clips of certain moments for exampl il etait un roi de thule! =D
