Listening to his French, accented by Russian and Yiddish inflections and accents, is a biographical lesson in itself. I'm as fascinated by the course of his life as I am by his art. I have a couple of his etchings from the Bible series, and hearing him talk deepens my appreciation of them.
You have no idea how this has made me smile. I’ve been in love with Chagall since 2015 and now quarantine has made me go on a Chagall binge of sorts, and I just keep falling deeper in love with his work. And now having come across this documentary and seeing what a sweet person he was until his last days... how could one not be fascinated by him? The painter of love indeed.
Yes I have heard his name and seen (on screen) some of his works, particularly stained glass. He must have been a fascinating man to be with and talk to in his long life
Wonderful documentary. Chagall - the artist of Dreams, Fantasy, Love ... Chagall says the secret of his life and his life's work is the love given him by his mother. They are his expression of gratitude for that love, his justification for the love she gave him (at 10-12 minutes). "I sometimes feel as though I were born, so to speak, between heaven and earth, as though the world were a great desert where my soul wanders like a flame .. " "As I grow older I see more clearly and distinctly what is right and wrong in our way of life and how ridiculous is everything not achieved with one's own blood and one's own soul .." (57 minutes)
Thank you for posting this documentary film. I'm moved by Chagall's art, and it's a delight to hear his voice and to learn more about his life after seeing and appreciating so many of his paintings.
I can not pretend to understand all that is said and shown in the video yet I want to continue to listen and to see It is a shame that the relationship and son he had between marriages has been not been mentioned especially as much of the film is about love
This 18th century Classical period F.J.Haydn/Mozart is so idiomatically incorrect for Chagall. Maybe Olivier Messian. But not classical period. Even if Chagall likes Mozart he is architecturally so 20th century sorry. I hate it when painters are incapable of understanding the architectural linguistic structural parallels between their work and other mediums. At least Kandinsky understood his work wasn't very tonal. Because tonality and representationalism are the same.
i think you are full of shit, but i don't know the scene to which you are referring, and though you introduced Messiaen to me i think you are way off and a newcomer to Chagall
Music is an a priori more abstract medium, the chronology of whose essence moves in an entirely different shape than visual art. I think Mozart is a good fit for Chagall: familiar figures imbued with a religious, magical love, flirtatious humor, and romantic hyperbole. In any case, if the artists are great, pairing them will summon up otherwise undiscoverable treasures. Try reading Beckett and listening to Ukrainian chorale music, or Kafka and Coltrane. Silly but who knows :)

Beautiful and insightful documentary of Chagall’s life and art . Thank you for sharing 💙

I have looked for this documentary for literally decades, and never thought I'd find it! What a treasure to discover it here.
Outstanding docu, very poetic and artistic. Narrated by the great Actor James Mason.
How much he respects, loves, and honors his mother
Amazing documentary, thank you!
wonderful man wonderful artist a gift to the world indeed thankyou
Always nice hearing James Mason's voice 👌
Спасибо Вам Марк Захарович за потрясающую живопись! Царство небесное.
James Mason… you were one fine actor!
Best artist ever 😁. His museum in nice is amazing
I wish to age this gracefully 10:06 Beautiful couple.
I can not pretend to understand all that is said and shown in the video yet I want to continue to listen and to see

It is always interesting to hear surrealists talking about "freedom". They meant something much different about it than we today
From minute 38 the music seems to be an aria by Bach, can anyone tell me what opera it is?
Pure Beauty..
Hello! Do you by any chance have the original high resolution copy of the doc? Thanks!
Where are these beautiful quotes from? Did Chagall often write?
oh I see now, it's from a speech and the other quotes from My Life
Nice France studio is fantastic
Narrated by James Mason
Uma viagem além da bidimensionalidade.
Es un tesoro lingüístico para intérpretes, no traductores, que hacemos de puente entre el pensamiento del autor y el oidor u oyente.
Does anybody recognize the aria that concludes this documentary? Any cues would be appreciated. I have been trying to find it for months.
Mozart?
The background music is too loud.
I agree !!
Story about love 🍇
1:04 Someone's waving at you.
thx
I have a Chagall trying to get authenticated
Good luck!
Please let us know the outcome.
........!!...Chagall, and the famous color blue...!!.....
he seemed quite a poet
...in words and painting!
Hah, the soundtrack where he recalls his childhood is Romanian folk music 15:06
da asa e
ma mir cum de sa ajuns la muzica asta

Feelings don’t need logic, it’s useless trying to find coherence in art. At least I see this way.
i think you are full of shit, but i don't know the scene to which you are referring, and though you introduced Messiaen to me i think you are way off and a newcomer to Chagall
Messian is haunting if you are referring to his Black Bird. Chagall is about love. The choice would be incorrect I think.
Music is an a priori more abstract medium, the chronology of whose essence moves in an entirely different shape than visual art. I think Mozart is a good fit for Chagall: familiar figures imbued with a religious, magical love, flirtatious humor, and romantic hyperbole.

I was wondering how his last name is pronounced.
a guy with powerful friends
I have visited his grave in St Paul-de-Vence.
Come vendere litigrafie di Mark Chagal????

Matisse
this video is out of focus1
IT SEEMS IN MOST OF HIS CREATIONS,,,HE IS SAYING,,,HEY ! I'M JEWISH, HOW BOUT THAT !
Great visionary painter....pity about all the biblical nonsense.
Ha you have complete;ly missed understanding all of Chagall's inspiration and source.
@@jezzab5621 Thanks for attempting to mansplain my lack of insight. Women need men to guide them thus...(( However , you are wrong. Tut !
xyzllii ur explained to because ur an idiot, not because ur a woman.
Surely the Holy Bible is his inspiration, his unification of Judeo-Christianity and love
Just pay attention to the colors, the subject is not so important
