It is with regard to the painting "Nude descending the staircase" that Alain Jaubert has chosen to evoke the work of Marcel Duchamp. It is 1913, in New York, and the work of this 25-year-old young man, which depicts different moments of the action of the same character, is causing a stir. Cubists do not recognize it as one of their own, and traditionalists see it as a dangerous iconoclast.

Via the New York Times: ""Le Temps Detruit" is a low-keyed, dreamlike recollection of the first year of World War II as recorded in the letters sent home by three French soldiers, each of whom was killed shortly after the "phony war" came to an end with the German offensive in May 1940. One of these was the father of the film's director.

Lying on a spring soil of the Gran Paradiso massif, Boque, injured and exhausted, will die. It's the end of a busy life as an ibex, punctuated by tightrope walks along the vertiginous cliffs of the Italian Alps, dodging against lurking predators, and tough duels against his fellow creatures. From his birth, Boque will have survived many dangers hidden in the shadow of the massif: the golden eagle, the fox or the wolf, but also the snow squalls which cover the landscape with a white coat, making all food inaccessible. As he grew up, Boque asserted himself as an ibex respected by his congeners, until he became, like his father before him, the dominant of the herd.
