Summer 1971. In front of Frederic Rossif’s cameras, a young Vangelis Papathanassiou improvises live on screen using his self-made set-up of electronic instruments and percussions while George Mathieu is painting two giant canvases: The Election of Charles Quint and The Necessity of Hope. The great French dramaturge François Billetdoux writes a beautiful text specially for this opportunity.

Unheard of for more than 35 years, this masterpiece finally makes an extraordinary rebirth on DVD. Thanks to the producer Yves Rescalat’s painstaking work, we’re able to be enlighten again by the Fury of creation, an everlasting legacy made by those remarkable artists whose names are Georges Mathieu, Frederic Rossif, Vangelis and François Billetdoux.

Together with Clouzot’s Le Mystère Picasso, Georges Mathieu or the Fury of Being is the best film ever made about the supreme art of creation”.
Jean Charles Tacchella

In 1952, “the commentary rewritten images in 1915. Guitry says his mistrust for a single image, which can not be a fair … Those of us is a dual film. It is 1952, which justifies the genius of 1915 and made a film, instead of a “pure” document archive. Bernard Eisenschitz, in al. Sacha Guitry, Filmmaker.

A famous French documentary director has chosen to match his talents with those of a powerful subject who talks on his youth, his formative years, his life and work. Reichenbach on Welles on Welles, one might say.

These recollections help to explain something of the creative processes of film making, comparing the behaviour of Welles the director and Welles the man. Orson at home, Orson interviewed at the Cannes Festival, Orson shooting a scene with Jeanne Moreau… Orson in portrait. No less. (MIFF)
