L'ange DVD/Blu-ray

The first feature film by Patrick Bokanowski (1977-1982), reissued and remastered (2K scan) in a DVD-Blu-Ray combo.

"Master of my universe? I can not say that. I even wonder if the beginnings, when one does not control much, are not the most fruitful, precisely because of these technical misunderstandings that allow for many things. "
- Patrick Bokanowski

"[...] Patrick Bokanoswki draws and paints regularly with his eyes closed. It is a question of being guided by the hand, the gesture, the body and the intuition rather than by the intellectual vision of what is happening. "
- Pip Chodorov

"The Angel is there is not there. [...] He does not reign over the scattered world in which we sometimes think he perceives it. He announces nothing. He is no doubt the messenger of anyone, except the enigmatic light, if not a hidden fire. "
- Gilbert Lascault, '' Metamorphoses of the light '', Le Monde, 08/04/1984.
