Bestiaire

A meditation on the relationships between animals and people through the seasons at a Quebec safari park. This work about the act of looking slyly blurs the line between observers and observed. Despite lack of a traditional narrative, there is dramatic tension in each exquisitely framed shot: a cage door under attack from a growling lion; the scurrying striped legs of zebras in a pen; the long stare of a bull, straight into camera.

  • ""En silence, cinq peintres tracent sur leur toile les lignes qui forment une représentation d'une biche empaillée. Dans un zoo, des animaux de toutes sortes vivent enfermés dans leur enclos intérieur pour l'hiver. Soignés, nettoyés, traités et nourris par des préposés, ils attendent en silence en observant cette caméra venue filmer leur captivité. Puis arrive le printemps, et les animaux sortent, retrouvent leur enclos extérieur, se préparent pour l'affluence. Les visiteurs arrivent; des enfants, des adultes, venus voir les animaux. Comme pendant l'hiver, les hommes et les animaux cohabitent". --Site web Cinoche.com, consulté le 27 nov. 2012."
  • "Au rythme des saisons, des hommes et des animaux semblent s'épier. "Bestiaire" est une exploration silencieuse d'éléments entrechoqués, tranquilles et indéfinissables. Plus qu'un pamphlet contre les parcs zoologiques, une oeuvre en trompe-l'oeil, à l'esprit militant. Une expérience de cinéma originale, poétique et d'une grande beauté. (dos de la jaquette)."
  • ""Fascinating and beguiling, Bestiaire is Denis Côté's mesmerizing meditation on the relationship between man and beast. This strikingly beautiful film about looking -- starts with a group of art students attempting to sketch an animal -- that blurs the line between observer and observed. There may be no traditional narrative, yet there is breathtaking dramatic tension in every exquisitely framed shot: the sight of a lion attacking the doors of its cage or the scurrying striped legs of zebras in a holding pen. Contemplative and enthralling, Bestiaire is cinema at it's purist."--Container."
  • "En une succession subliminale d'images captées au fil des quatre saisons, Denis Côté illustre la vie des animaux du Parc Safari de Hemmingford. Dans leurs cages ou leurs enclos, les espèces aux provenances diverses rassemblées dans cet environnement artificiel (girafe, éléphant, bouc, chimpanzé, ours, etc.) côtoient le personnel et les bénévoles de l'établissement, ainsi que les visiteurs qui, l'été, affluent pour venir les observer."
  • "A meditation on the relationships between animals and people throughout the seasons at a Quebec safari park. This work about the act of looking slyly blurs the line between the observers and the observed. Despite the lack of a traditional narrative, there is dramatic tension in each exquisitely framed shot: a cage door under attack from a growling lion; the scurrying striped legs of zebras in a pen; and the long stare of a bull, straight into camera."
  • ""Fascinating and beguiling, Bestiaire is filmmaker Denis Cote's mesmerizing meditation on the relationships between animals and people through the seasons at a Quebec safari park. This strikingly gorgeous work about the act of looking slyly blurs the line between observer and observed (the film opens with art students sketching taxidermied creatures). And despite lack of a traditional narrative, there is dramatic tension in each exquisitely framed shot: a cage door under attack from a growling lion; the scurrying striped legs of zebras in a pen; the long stare of a bull, straight into camera. Contemplative and enthralling, Bestiaire is cinema at its purest."--Amazon.com."
