The film tells the story of two brothers, the American painters
Charles and Jackson Pollock, with a landscape of a piece of American history.
Although distant, as much by their personalities as by their works, the
Pollocks are linked by a name, by fraternity. Jackson, the youngest, is put on
the path of painting by Charles, who embodies during his formative years a
figure of model. Once Jackson is revealed on the public stage, Charles becomes
"the brother of" and will have to deal with this weight. The dazzling
trajectory of the pollock icon, exhibited as a myth of the self-made man, stops
in a car accident when he is 44 years old. Charles, meanwhile, pursues all his
life a free work, away from the markets. It is only today that his works come
out of the closets. Through the journeys of these two painters, the film tells
a story of shadow and light.
This music is
essentially inspired by the energy and vibration of Charles Pollock's
paintings. Their structures, sometimes soothed at times intense, both static
and dynamic, gave the framework and direction of the musical themes carried by
the piano. The flow of historical time has been supported by the drums by
crossing a rhythmic chronology of jazz which, by the same tot, telescope and
sets in motion the apparent stability in play. The tension and complementary
balance of these two poles also embodies, between words and images, the
relationship of brothers Charles and Jackson Pollock. With their great talent,
the formidable musicians Eve Risser and Régis Boulard have breathed life into
these themes.
Olivier Mellano
Composer
The great luck is to have been able to think about the music with
Olivier Mellano even before the shooting. The film is based on the epistolary
correspondence of the Pollock brothers from 1929. Music is the landscape in
which they evolved then in New York. We wanted it to be detached from the
historical context, but for it to come back with quotations, more or less
ghostly. We imagined the exchange between Charles Pollock and Jackson Pollock
as a dialogue between two instruments. The idea was not to literally associate
the piano and drums with each of the characters, but rather to make them evolve
between two energies, two polarities: shadow and light, spontaneity and
reasoning, movement and stillness, tension or appeasement.
