Pascal Aubier - Valparaiso Valparaiso

The intelligence of Pascal Aubier and, at the same time, the pleasure that shines through at each moment of Valparaiso Valparaiso, is to undertake a point of balance between seduction and derision, a critique of signifiers. Balthazar's heroism accumulates situations, mystery, torture or pursuit, which he wants to dominate as he wants to master ideas and speech or as he sees seducing the archetypes of the bitch, the spy, the perverse ingenue and the peasant. (Louis Seguin, The Literary Fortnight, 1973)
