Massacralasiné : ne nous fâchons pas !
Yvan Butler
Switzerland
DARK HUMOR ALLOWED
1966, 17'
VO. French
With
Jean-François Nicod
An observer of the modern world and creator of cynical and wonderfully provocative drawings, Maurice Siné enjoys censorship almost as much as his readers love his publications. A jarring portrait.

The cartoonist Maurice Siné shoots mischievous half-smiles at the camera of journalist Yvan Butler in this portrait packed with bizarre revelations and black humor. An anti-colonialist, anti-capitalist, anti-clerical and selective anti-militarist, he uses his pencil to highlight the oddities and hypocrisies of his time, depicting the world as a gigantic freak show. Through the most shocking and grotesque drawings he can muster, the creator of the periodical Siné Massacre aims paradoxically to disgust his readers, a more difficult feat than you might think! A brilliant provocateur whose humor occasionally borders on sadism, he seems to have a little devil is whispering in his ear...
