Synopsis:

The signs of life and death intertwine within a cinematographic writing that is invented. The expression says: 'mourn'. This film tells us that it is mourning that makes us first. Martin Verdet's film, Donner le jour crosses this time which, from the death of his mother to the birth of his son, tangles day after day the material of mourning to the material of life. This film is a rare film, rare by the emotion it provokes, the quality of this emotion which is always nourished by a formal elaboration, a work on the form whose beauty immediately seizes us as an enigma and as a revelation. Fragments of time, fragments which draw from the invisible poetry of everyday life the density of each moment, the density of the world, this opacity of the Real, what we cannot say, what eludes us infinitely ... What, by l art only, we believe to grasp, to catch a glimpse, in the dazzlingness of a form that meets an emotion. What affects us all, as long as we accept to abandon ourselves to it, it touches the most intimate, the most archaic, the very place where life and death are woven within us.
