Tintin et moi (2003)
Country: DK/BEL/FR/ÖST
Technical: col 74m
Director: Anders Ostergaard
Cast: doc.
Synopsis:
A now much older journalist tells of his encounter as a young man with the Belgian cartoonist, and shares extracts from the tapes he made of that interview; they contain candid reflections on his work for a Nazi-run newspaper during the war, his friendship with the Chang who inspired Tintin in Tibet and the love affair with a colorist at his publisher's. We also see a man whose precise, documentarist drawings betrayed an obsessive collector and cataloguer of photographs.
Review:
Of interest to fans of the books, but no groundbreaker of documentary techniques. The animated etchings of the subject in conversation are an irritation.
