Sempé, rêver pour dessiner
Sempé, the Relentless Dreamer
More than 40 years in the profession, thirty albums, thousands of drawings - almost everyone has chuckled over at least one of Sempé’s drawings. And yet, Sempé the man is barely known. For Sempé, has kept his distance from the media, his cautious reserve maintaining an aura of mystery. In this documentary, Sempé ushers us into his universe, characteristically discreet, yet willing for the first time to speak about himself. The film evokes his path as an artist – from a difficult start to the unanimous success of his Petit Nicolas; from his work for the weekly Paris-Match to the work he had long dreamed of with the New Yorker; from his humorous drawings to his contemplative works viewed in art galleries. Sempé, the relentless dreamer sketches the portrait of a drawer, who has touched millions of people from Paris to New York.
