"I just escaped from the sky."
Dreamlike imagery flows through this incredibly drawn bande dessinee.
Reality and hallucinations are jostling in Laureline Mattiussi's graphic adaptation of four short stories by the Argentinean writer Carlos Salem. Drawn from the same inkwell as the great Argentinian masters, precisely Alberto Breccia and José Munioz.
Poe, a magnificent loser, wastes away in smoky bars and back rooms, thinking only of one thing, Lola. Incapable of declaring himself to this woman, the reality around him continues to crumble, he goes astray in hallucinated adventures: grotesque robberies, long wanderings in the company of ghosts, or even an embrace with a whimsical angel ...
Summary:
Pour Lola, Poe ira jusqu'au bout de la nuit.
Poe, loser magnifique, trimballe son dés'oeuvrement et sa mélancolie de bars enfumés en salles des coffres, de plages interlopes en ruelles malfamées. Il joue son existence au gré du nombre d'allumettes qu'il pioche au hasard dans la poche de son veston, en ne pensant qu'à une chose. À Lola.
Incapable de se déclarer à cette femme quand la réalité autour de lui ne cesse de s'effriter, il s'égare dans des aventures hallucinées : des braquages grotesques, de longues errances en compagnie de fantômes ou encore une étreinte avec un ange fantasque...
