Yvette Courant

Les Funérailles d'Yvette Courant is an episode of Gérard Courant's Carnets filmés, filmed on October 25, 2022, on the occasion of the funeral of his mother, Yvette Courant, in the village of Priay in the Ain department. The film takes place successively in the small square in front of the church, inside the building with the religious ceremony, on the route that separates the church from the cemetery, at the cemetery with the burial, and in the family home in the center of the village.

Le Nouvel Hiver is a slightly disillusioned reflection on the state of the world (the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the USSR, the Gulf War), the events of which are the thread of this year's Notebooks (1 January 1991 to 31 December 1991). Of course, these Notebooks are far from this sinister current events because life is elsewhere, in creation and in a quest for the absolute. And then, Le Nouvel Hiver takes us into surprising encounters (with Ken Loach, Brigitte Lahaie) and transports us to places I can't live without (the Ardèche in the North).
