Be careful! Presented at the Annecy 2024 festival, the animated film Rock Bottom came out yesterday in France. This trompe l'oeil biopic is a psychedelic tribute to Robert Wyatt. The animation is the terrain for sequences sublimated by the art of rotoscopy and the freedom of a river narrative centered on the sentimental frascs of the drummer of the Soft Mochin. Based on « fragments of life » This free adaptation flirts between love and decadence. Rock Bottom is a sensory journey in « Timeless soundscapes » Of all beauty. A beautiful way to reveal the existential crisis of an artist in the throes of inspiration and the frascs of a couple who beat the wing. Filmmaker Maria Trenor spoke with us at the festival about this project that directly involved Robert Wyatt in person.
