“We've known Jean-Marie Poiré as a photographer, the hard rock singer of Les Frenchies, and the author of a memoir, Rire est une fête. However, his fame rests on his career as a screenwriter and director of numerous cult films.  Today, we discover him as a painter!”

- IVAN MESSAC (A SUNDAY ON THE HELICON)

“Flavie Durand-Ruel explains to me what a “repentir” (from French) is: a technique in which a painter, dissatisfied with his work, paints over it to erase what he didn’t like.”
