The Beautiful Prisoner


            "Ever, Rêve, Hélène Cixous" films the roads to creation of a feminist legend, a 1968 activist, a famous playwright and poet who shares all the "wars of liberation" of our time. "Ever, Rêve, Hélène Cixous" is a dream of liberation. With friends like the philosopher Jacques Derrida, the artist Adel Abdessemed, the theatrical legend Ariane Mnouchkine and her cosmopolitan company, this road movie allows us to hear the cry of literature. A poetic and musical film, "Ever, Rêve, Hélène Cixous" wanders with a genius who shows us the paths to emancipation through creative writing, theatre and activism. Cixous's artistic endeavors embody untold and unrealized historical possibilities as they give voice to those who conspire with Cixous, saved from the death camps, from the wars of decolonization, from the horrors of oppression endured by women, everywhere. Every dream is the dream of a prisoner who escapes. Here is what the director's states about the film: "How should I bring out Cixous the Algerian, Cixous the German, how about naming her (relation to?) Jewishness in these contexts, and beyond? Oran, Osnabrück, Golders Green in London, Jerusalem? Paris? Bordeaux? Montaigne? What to do with her wars of liberation? Why do I always have the strange feeling that biographical sketches I read about Hélène Cixous fail to express who she is? Because it's not about the bio. The film might not be "about" Cixous. It deals with what happens when Hélène Cixous meditates with the artist Adel Abdessemed: happy artists are ones who have known horror. Cixous is a happy artist. So am I."
