Laurent Vicomte, Entretemps

Laurent Vicomte is undoubtedly the slowest comic book artist in the business. For fifteen years, his readers have been waiting for him to publish Volume 2 of the Sasmira series, which has become one of the most eagerly-awaited albums in French-Belgian comics. Behind this long editorial silence lies a complex, demanding artist. This film is the result of eight years of filming alongside Laurent Vicomte. Eight years of filming him without knowing whether this album would ever be released, eight years driven by a single question: how far can an artist in search of a form of absoluteness stand up to reality?
