In the film adaptation of the novel On dark pathsBy Sylvain Tesson, Jean Dujardin invites you to a telluric bracket away from the frenzy of the modern world.
August 2014: Drunken author Sylvain Tesson fell several meters while climbing the front of a chalet. His body is broken, his face is paralyzed, he undertakes a long recovery and promises himself that he will cross France on foot as soon as possible. Between August and November 2015, he will walk from Mercantour to the Cotentin to regain control of his body and rediscover the serenity of nature that has always nourished and soothed him. This trip he will record it On black roads the scrapbook is now adapted to film with Jean Dujardin, who, as a relentless and solitary walker, never fails to mimic the famous writer-adventurer.
Beyond the portrait of a man in physical and intimate reconquest, this film shows the beauty of a France preserved from tourism but also ravaged by desertification. Making this harmonic ride compelling wasn’t easy, but Tesson’s words, recorded by input Dujardin, dress the images wonderfully without ever overwhelming them. It is enough to aspire to the telluric bracket in turn to reunite with oneself, listen to nature and forget the noise and fury of the modern world.
