Alphée des étoiles

2012 1 h 22 min
Leaving soon

Ce long métrage documentaire suit Alphée, une fillette atteinte d’une maladie génétique rare. Quand, par intuition, ses parents refusent son entrée dans une école spécialisée, toute la petite famille part s’installer en Europe pendant une année. Son papa, le cinéaste Hugo Latulippe, en profite alors pour favoriser les apprentissages de sa petite fée. Émouvante déclaration d’amour d’un père à sa fille, ce film relève aussi d’un pari, celui de voler un an à la vie et de renverser le cours des choses.

Alphée’s father’s letters provide a framework for the story; discuss the message of each entry. What can we learn about ourselves by watching Alphée’s journey? Notice that Alphée mentions Neverland right before her time in the classroom (63:45–68:30). How can school be seen as Neverland? What does Alphée have “that our world is missing” (71:15)? How do fellow students benefit because she is in the classroom with them?
