Celui que l’on surnomme l’enfant terrible de la mode québécoise devient le sujet d’un tableau filmique. Plutôt que de faire la chronique d’une icône de la mode, « Je m’appelle Denis Gagnon » brosse de façon intimiste le portrait d’un personnage complexe, de l’homme et de l’artiste derrière ses énormes lunettes noires. Denis Gagnon se dévoile au spectateur à sa façon. Il se sait observé mais prend le parti de se livrer.
The “enfant terrible” of Canadian fashion is the subject of this new cinematic picture. Rather than solely focusing on the clothing, “My name is Denis Gagnon” is an intimate portrait of a complex character. Denis Gagnon presents himself as the artist behind enormous dark glasses.
