Just watched this story on TV with little to tell me what it was about.
It is quite amazing but also a little slow and rather sombre. In my youth I spend a holiday camp in the 'departement' de la Drome, however I did not recognise anything and further more the epoch is really way before my time!
Yes somehow I found it rather depressing but was rather mesmerised by this character resillience who however had mostly burried is feelings and emotions deep inside himself.
What saved the story for me was the fact it is a true story.
I left the country I think the year Andre Malraux made an official recognition of this extraordinary work.
I think he got it right when he stated that he was not for this world. Yet he was loved by some as he was and he really deserved it.
Well worth watching.
