Robert Roussil, a leading figure in Quebec sculpture, left a profound mark on art history with his bold creations and his unwavering commitment to freedom of expression. Yet since his passing in 2013, his legacy seems to be fading into oblivion. Robert Roussil, le cul par terre seeks to rekindle the memory of this visionary artist by delving into his work and philosophy.
Built around a rich assemblage of archival footage, this documentary also draws on numerous interviews Roussil gave throughout his career. It retraces his path, from his early exile in France to his life in a mill in Tourrettes-sur-Loup, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, where he created the majority of his works. The film opens the doors of his home and workshop, while also shedding light on his sculptures still visible in Montreal, which continue to reflect his lasting influence.
