- This documentary will showcase Alain Corneau's style, films (Police Python 357, Choice of Arms, Série noire, Fort Saganne, Nocturne indien, All the Mornings of the World, Fear and Trembling, The Second Wind) and his favorite themes : music, the quest for identity, being left adrift, human loneliness, the difficulty to find happiness, death. It's both a minute examination and an exploration of the human condition.—Anonymous
- Private, elusive and unclassifiable, Alain Corneau remains one of the most singular French directors of his generation. In an outstanding body of work (Police Python 357, Série noire, Le Choix des Armes, Fort Saganne, Nocturne indien, Tous les Matins du Monde, Stupeur et Tremblements, Le Deuxième Souffle...), he has explored a rich and deeply moving tapestry of themes, brought to life by such exceptional actors as Simone Signoret, Yves Montand, Gérard Depardieu, Patrick Dewaere, Catherine Deneuve, Michel Bouquet, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Sylvie Testud, Daniel Auteuil or Monica Bellucci. « Alain Corneau, du noir au bleu » presents his work as a director, his influences and the core themes through which he has shared his shrewd but never cynical outlook on life : music, the quest for personal identity, social decay, the solitude of the individual, violence and the neverending pursuit of self-fulfilment. The film is both the portrait of an extraordinarily amiable man and an introduction to the stylistic achievements of a major filmmaker.
