Mètis is really an intriguing exploration of creativity and connection between two sculptors, Vincent Barré and Richard Deacon. The film unfolds in their studio, which feels almost like a character itself—part workspace, part dialogue box. The atmosphere is contemplative, inviting you into their world where the act of making is interwoven with philosophical musings. It contrasts the intimacy of their sculpting with the more industrial feel of the foundry, which offers a gritty, hands-on vibe. The pacing is unhurried, allowing you to soak in the textures and details of their craft and conversations. What stands out is not just the art but how the film captures the essence of artistic collaboration.
Mètis has had limited distribution, which makes it somewhat of a hidden gem among collectors. Its format history is sparse, with few official releases making it a bit of a rarity. Interest among collectors is rising, especially for those drawn to art documentaries and the personal stories behind artistic creation. Finding a good copy might take some time, but for the right enthusiast, it's worth the search.
