The continuing demand for high standards is what sets Rousseau's work apart. What makes this film distinctive is the way Rousseau explicitly returns to the source of his creative inspration. So here he is at home reciting "Bérénice" to himself, whilst going about his household chores. It verges on the comical: There are repeated shots of him obstinately trying to turn off a dripping tap, or the jubilant close up of bare feet carried away in performing a dance step or to. Combining art with life in such a way, that nothing is comparmentalised, nothing lost – that is the goal. – Jean-Pierre Rehm
