Quebec Film Series: A tous ceux qui ne me lisent pas (For Those Who Don't Read Me)

The Quebec Film Series presents “A tous ceux qui ne me lisent pas (For Those Who Don’t Read Me)” on March 30, 2020 at 7 p.m. in Cheray 101.

All his life, Yves dedicated himself to poetry, carrying his suitcase to any couch that would welcome him. When he storms into Dyane’s life, a graphic designer who falls for his charms, her son Marc immediately disapproves of this eccentric stranger in his mother’s bed. But the studious teenager soon finds Yves’ rebel ways contagious and begins to explore his own artistic side. Meanwhile, the poet feels increasingly trapped in his new life and decides to sabotage everything in a great outburst. Now alone at the end of the world, he realizes his words no longer mean anything. Freely inspired by the life and work of Quebec poet Yves Boisvert (1950-2012), For Those Who Don’t Read Me tells the story of a man’s quest for the absolute, fighting not to end up forgotten between two cookbooks.The festival is made possible thanks to the Québec Government Office in Boston and with the support of our local chapter of the Alliance Française.
