A page dedicated to personal accounts about Pierre Etaix, a filmmaker whose films are in danger of disparition - MPLD

Dear Marked by the Dragon,

At 80 years, Pierre Etaix, clown, artist and filmmaker can not show his movies !

His five feature films (including four co-written with Jean-Claude Carrière) is now completely invisible, victims of a scandalous legal imbroglio that deprives authors of their rights and prohibits any distribution (even free) from their films.

So if you want to understand the reasons for the kidnapping and cultural sign the petition to the movies emerged Pierre Etaix:


and if you're one of those who were lucky enough to have seen his movies or shows and you have marked by it



The petition will be presented to Mrs. Christine Albanel, Minister of Culture and Communication, 10 May 2009 for the opening of the Cannes Festival.


In advance, thanks for your help.

And May the dragon be with all of Us.

Arthur Terrier - 19 - Yoyo - Pierre Etaix - Marked by the Dragon - MPLD

Gently I remember my first burlesque films, student films, many works have been shown. But it is very early, one type of movies touched me in particular. Keaton in "One Week" a futile attempt to build a house. Lloyd flirting with a girl before falling on the sidewalk. Chaplin accompanied by a young child ... It was the Funny bones films ! Both of madness and poetry at the same time, sad clowns in abundance, a veritable urban circus! France had also its clown, who danced, typing its misadventures of his feet with the music that the envelope again. We all need a clown, Pierre Etaix tended to show us that laughter is saving. Imagine a ruined man, in despair, a former billionaire after the roll, and who happens to find the strength to fight through a clowns? Through the laughter, the smile? This film was "Yoyo" by Pierre Etaix, a film that reminds us we can still smile. Thank you Etaix.

Chatterley - 22 years - Pierre Etaix - Movies - Marked by the Dragon - MPLD

I was young, and my memories are vague ...

It remains in my memory a music full of images of a sweet poetry, choreography plans as carriers of spirit, writing and critical light, full of grace ... With more the gift of laughter. Transmission sensitive dance steps humans move away from highways or treadmills.

I also have the memory of a happy encounter with another of his films which transmitted this unpleasant reading that I had the power of smart society recover elk we opened 68 via consumption. The publicists, these raptors finds that folds and degrade.

I'd like to review, Le sigh ... Yoyo .. Rupture. Etaix stone is a dragon that has marked my prairie smiles and my sous-bois poetic reflections.
