This documentary, focused on the life of Alfred Jarry, dives into the avant-garde world of the late 19th century. It captures the essence of Jarry's irreverent spirit and his profound influence on literature and theater. The pacing might feel contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the themes of absurdism and existentialism that permeate Jarry's work. I found the practical effects, though minimal, to be quite engaging—reflecting the rawness of his ideas. There's a somewhat poetic quality to the way the film stitches together interviews and archival footage, creating a unique atmosphere that mirrors Jarry's own unconventional narrative style. It's not just a biography; it's an exploration of creativity and rebellion.
