MARCELLE DELPASTRE, LIFE ON EDGE
Synopsis: In 1985, in her hamlet in Germont (near Chamberet-Corréze) the writer Marcelle Delpastre kept on doing in the obscurity, since 30 years, a poetic, strict, marginal work at the touch of the ground and her intuitions. Since then her autobiography (seven volumes published by Payot) and her numerous written works (novels, poems, ethnographical investigations) revealed her to the general public after many years of indifference.
In this last film (two others have been made Marcelle Delpastre, the vegetable song and Marcelle, Word) she reveals herself with a great sincerity. She talks about her work as a farmer and her poetry following relentlessly her search for an authentic and powerful word around her ground.
