“Pierre Creton’s cinema springs from this solidarity between life and art, sealed by necessity.” – Cahiers du Cinéma
7 Walks with Mark Brown
(dirs. Pierre Creton & Vincent Barré)
“Shows us an exquisite microcosm of existence, containing rich history, meaning, and mystery.” – RogerEbert.com
“A wonderful documentary about nature and its fragility.” – Libération
Accompanied by a small crew, Creton and Barré follow paleobotanist Mark Brown across seven locations in Normandy as he seeks out native plants from which an ancient garden could be created and explains, with the loving tenderness of a true expert, the etymology, beauty, and scientific properties of the region’s flora.
Mark Brown: “Capitalism leads to death and our extinction.”
