Philippe est chanteur et dans l?existence d?un chanteur, il y a des moments où tout s?accélère surtout quand une groupie déjantée, des parents délaissés, une ornithologue lunaire et un ami d?enfance coriace conspirent à vous compliquer la vie? Comment en sortir ?"En fait, tout a commencé après mon concert d?hier soir… je me retire dans ma loge, normal, pour me reposer…
For the 1977 Je Suis le Temps, Capitol sent the group to London to record with Eddie Offord, the engineer responsible for Yes and ELP's classic albums. For a moment, Morse Code believed they had a chance to break out on the international market, what they weren't counting on was prog rock's brutal crash in the late '70s. Dropped by its record company, the group disbanded. It re-formed in 1983 with the same lineup for a tentative comeback as an intelligent pop group with the LP Code Breaker, but this attempt failed rather miserably. In the early '90s, Capitol issued a CD compilation of the three French albums, allowing a new generation of Quebecers to discover a national prog treasure. Capitalizing on the good sales of the CD, the group recorded a new album, 1995's D'Un Autre Monde, and scored a minor campus radio hit with "Le Fils du Grand Dragon," but plans to put a tour together failed and Morse Code disappeared once again.
Je suis né d’une cigogne is both an insanely anarchic portrait of adolescent rebellion and an ingenious parable of social exclusion and immigration in an uncaring society. Social realism rapidly gives way to black comedy and madcap surrealism in a film which broaches some pressing social issues with precision and well-intended irony. From both its look and its content, Je suis né d’une cigogne feels like a blatant homage to the works of Jean-Luc Godard, one of the leading figures of the French New Wave. The plot looks like a crazy mélange of Godard’s À bout de souffle , Pierrot le fou and Weekend, whilst the manic use of jump cutting and over-exposure is Godard’s technique carried to an extreme which even Godard may have considered excessive. It may seem unlikely but this very unusual visual style works well and the result is something that is far more substantial and worthy than a shameless appropriation of another director’s technique.
