Georges Mathieu or the Fury of Being

About This Movie

Georges Mathieu or the Fury of Being is this intriguing blend of art and sound, where the canvas becomes a living entity. Filmed in Paris, you have Mathieu, caught in this passionate flow of creation, his brushstrokes almost dancing to Vangelis’s live improvisations. The whole atmosphere feels electric, like you’re eavesdropping on a dialogue between the artist and the music. It’s not just about watching him paint; it’s about feeling the urgency and fury of creativity itself. The narration by François Billetdoux adds a layer of introspection, guiding you through the tumultuous landscape of artistic expression.

This documentary has seen limited releases and is relatively scarce on physical media, making it a collecting gem. Originally available on VHS and later limited DVD editions, many collectors find the artwork and presentation to hold a certain charm. Its blend of documentary filmmaking with avant-garde music and performance art creates a niche interest among those who appreciate the intersections of art forms.
