Finding Macpherson

About This Movie

Finding Macpherson is quite a unique documentary, really. It’s got this rich texture thanks to Martine Chartrand's animation style—painting on glass, which gives the visuals a fluid, almost dreamlike quality. The film dives deep into the life of Macpherson, and the pacing feels thoughtful, allowing you to absorb each layer of his story. There’s an intimate atmosphere created by the combination of Chartrand's research and Serge Giguère's presence throughout the process. You get this sense of collaboration, a kind of passion that breathes life into an otherwise straightforward documentary format. The themes of memory and legacy are woven through beautifully, making it much more than just a biopic. Definitely a film that lingers a bit longer in your thoughts.
