Le Dictionnaire selon Marcus
2009
Belgium
78 minutes
French
“Receiving”, “Theft”, “Harbouring criminals”… at first glance, Marcus’ dictionary resembles the penal code. But these words belong to the law and they are at odds with Marcus and cloud who he really is. They are not his own words, the words he loves, those in his dictionary that he learns by heart in anticipation of his next incarceration. “Suffering”, “Solidarity”, “Freedom”, “Trust”. Marcus has one weakness-he cannot stop rushing to help prisoners on the run, delinquents in a tight spot. It’s a matter of ethics, respect. Whereas society stigmatises crime, Marcus sees nothing but suffering. One word only is not found in his dictionary, a word too vast to be contained there: “Esca-pe”. (Yann Lardeau)
