Description
"Disorderly, underground, escaping the standards of commercial cinema, Arrietta's work gravitates around a film of a much more classical nature than the others, Flammes, which is also his masterpiece. Flammes occupies a place comparable to that of Chelsea Girls in Andy Warhol's work: a jewel that would feature majestically in the classic histories of cinema if their authors' names were not so radically associated with the margins."
— Isabelle Regnier, Le Monde
