Faire le portrait de Jacques Brel, c'est se confronter à la puissance d'un auteur chanteur sans égal. C'est s'approcher d'une personnalité entière, multiple, faite de contradictions: irradiante sur scène, crépusculaire en famille.

- Jacques Brel - Gek van het Leven
Jacques Brel sings "Madeleine" over the opening credits of this film and immediately the audience is drawn into the intense theatricality of his performance. Left without a choice, they follow his lead, join the chanson and are left sweaty and breathless, just like Brel. Philippe Kohly, a documentary filmmaker who is renowned for profiling artists, created a fascinating portrait of the legendary singer of Flemish descent who became a master of French chanson.
