Gilli and Company is a portrait of French painter and sculptor Claude Gilli, but it’s also the story of a man struggling to survive. Gilli is best known for his brief pop-art period, and for his use of the snail as a creative vehicle. Art-lovers also associate him with the less attractive image of a wheelchair, but Gilli waves aside any attempt to put the accent on his illness. His life is that of an artist. For over forty years he has been constantly renewing and refining an abundant, joyous, colourful and ironic life's work. The imagery of the film is inspired by that of the artist. The result is a film that enters his realm, revealing connections between the man’s life and his creation.
