Synopsis
Le film est consacré au périple d’un jeune artiste de 26/27 ans appelé à devenir célèbre, Constantin Brâncuși, voyageant à travers l'Europe. Il part de la Roumanie où il est né et où il a commencé à étudier les beaux-arts, jusqu’à Paris où il souhaite approfondir cette formation. Ce voyage est un fait réel, effectué à pied sur 2 500 kilomètres, à travers l’Europe au début du XX siècle. Il a duré 18 mois. Pour autant, le détail de cette aventure est resté inconnu. Peter Greenaway a construit une fiction cinématographique à partir de ce voyage, et imagine des péripéties comiques ou violentes, quelquefois sexuelles et quelquefois romantiques. La pérégrination ainsi reconstituée est également jalonnée d’édification de sculptures avec les matériaux trouvés chemin faisantActors
