Wild Blue

Punctuated by female voices, this film embraces children, trees and winds, gathering them as musical motifs.

Through gestures, silences, gazes and songs, the variations which unfold evoke a world wounded by civil or religious horror.
As time goes by, these notes for several voices compose a simple poem on listening.
Press coverage
A visual and auditory poem about the two (inseparable?) faces of the world: its recurring violence and its timeless beauty. Over stunning black-and-white imagery, monotone women's voices narrate fantasies, tortures, massacres—shameful chapters in the history of humanity.
Télérama
A philosophical poem in black and white composed by Thierry Knauff, straddling two genres—neither entirely documentary nor fully fiction. (...) Its aim: to bear witness to the unpredictable, fragile, and terrible beauty of the world.
Le Monde
The news of the world as it is, in the order we know. Thierry Knauff captures the signs of the intersections between past and present barbarism with an austere, yet commendable, determination.
