Anne Hébert
An inspiring and elusive woman, Anne Hébert lived only for her one passion : literature. In four decades of creativity, the late Quebecois poet and novelist joined the front ranks of French-language writers with such works as "Kamouraska", "In the Shadow of the Wind" and "The Tomb of the Kings". Recognition of her work in France, in the mid-50s, notably brought a dawning legitimacy for many Quebecois writers who would follow in her footsteps in the subsequent years. "It's by taking the risk of making a very serious mistake that we can do something. You must take that risk in the beginning. Risk may be the most important part of any work", Anne Hébert declared. The product of a time when Quebecois cultural expression was muzzled by an all-powerful clergy, she showed the way and disobeyed the rules with a constant open-mindedness. A writer of enlightenment, she never hesitated to question herself. Therein lies the force of her legacy. A colleague and friend of the writer, the director introduces us to Anne Hébert through the people and the places that informed her art.
