Tant mieux, tant mieux ! [bande annonce]

Presentation of the film made by Charles Picq : this “fiction dance” designed by Dominique Bagouet.

“Tant mieux, tant mieux!” is the first film by Dominique Bagouet. It is also the only one for which Dominique created a dance to be filmed on the occasion of the Festival Montpellier Danse, in 1983.

He was anxious for the camera to adopt an anthropometric eye, like the observer’s trying to weigh up movements with a look. This eye is completely in accordance with the story which is being told, as we are invited to get into the world of a community, almost a tribe, with strange rituals, which is none other than the imaginary mirror of his company.
