Doux Temps
Marc Bourdeau
2023
A music video for a work of classical music and shot in a colorful and cinematic style, Doux Temps explores the strong contrast between, on the one hand, the somewhat routine daily lives of four characters and, on the other, the lyrical inspiration of the lyrics and music, that evoke the amorous passions of the 'sweet times' of youth.
Looking at the camera and lipsycing the soprano's singing, each character gradually lets himself be carried away by these happy memories, which awaken a feeling of relaxation and euphoria.
Funded by the Canada Council for the Arts, Doux Temps is a North-South collaboration between Brazilian filmmaker Caio Amon and Canadian pianist Marc Bourdeau, accompanied by soprano Jacqueline Woodley.
We've also created a "making of" video for this production, which can be watched here.
