Synopsis

Jean-Paul Colmor is a waste accumulator, a sort of Citizen Kane for detritus. Several decades of piling up garbage in his car cemetery in Quebec made him a character with attributes but not qualities. And that´s precisely what Denis Coté tries to find out as he moves into that fortress disguised as an ossuary. You could talk once again about how the border between fiction and documentary gets blurred, if it weren’t because the way the filmmaker shapes up his character has less to do with a theoretical distinction than with a particular approach toward things (which are not real or fictional per se). Without pushing events or harassing his character, Coté knows every good hunter must learn to wait for situations to occur. But that notion of recovering the remains left by society actually does nothing but continue through other means (or other stories, or formats) that Coté had previously investigated with his marginal characters from Drifting States and Our Private Lives. Every good character is the promise of a portrait waiting to be looked at.
