"Chagall, der grosse alte Maler der französischen Malerei, war bereits zu Lebzeiten eine Legende. Geboren in einem jüdischen Ghetto in der russischen Provinz, liess er Armut und religiöse Enge hinter sich und wurde in die politischen und künstlerischen Wirren der russischen Revolution gezogen, bevor er sich in Paris niederliess, damals die Kulturhauptstadt Europas. Kubismus, Expressionismus und Surrealismus hinterliessen ihre Spuren in Chagalls Werk. Er war mit vielen der grössten Maler und Dichter des Jahrhunderts befreundet, blieb sich jedoch treu und entwickelte einen ganz eigenen Stil. (Quelle: Umschlag)."

"Mit fliegenden Liebespaaren, Geigern und einzigartigen Farbkompositionen avancierte Chagall zur grossen Künstlerlegende des 20. Jahrhunderts. Aufgewachen in einem jüdischen Elternhaus in Weissrussland führte ihn die Malerei aus Armut und provinzieller Enge in die Pariser Kunstwelt. Geprägt durch die jüdisch-russische Kultur und den Einfluss der Avantgarde in Frankreich fand er zu seinem ganz eigenen Stil. Der Film wandelt auf den Spuren Chagalls aus der Sicht eines englischen Künstlers. Ausgehend von der Pariser Künstlerkolonie "La Ruche" nimmt er uns mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise zu den phantastischen und geheimnisvollen Welten Chagalls. (Quelle: Umschlagtext)."

"En anglais. Ce film portrait de Chagall (1887-1985), tourné peu de temps avant sa mort, amène le spectateur sur les traces de l'énigmatique artiste. Originaire d'un ghetto juif de Russie, Chagall s'exile à Paris où il se confronte à des artistes tels que Matisse, Léger et Dufy. Il y développe son style surréaliste flottant qui est demeuré sa marque."
