The author of many great reports, Jean-Christophe Klotz has come back to the Caucasus. But, this time, he is here to listen to the mountains...
"In certain regions of the globe, it is possible to move about for days, weeks, always with the same kind of landscape and population. In the Caucasus this is impossible. These are majestic landscapes that lend themselves to daydreaming. According to which way the gaze turns, according to the mood, you think of Noah, Alexandre Dumas, human stupidity and violence...
On my previous trips, I was completely taken up with filming the agitation of men, but I felt the presence of these mountains, the weight of their history, as if they were observing us, slyly. How many wars have they seen ? What if, for once, I could take time to look at them, to listen to them ?"
