Perrault originally studied law (and practiced for two years), before becoming a radio announcer, poet, filmmaker and dramatist. His first involvement with film was on the Au pays neufve France series, which was based on his radio program for Radio-Canada.
Impact
Canadian film historian Peter Morris wrote this about Perrault in his 1984 The Film Companion: "The most famous direct cinema filmmaker in Quebec, who developed a unique 'cinema of speech' that has 'spoken' about Quebec, its land and its people, and that has been at once witness of its past and often prophecy of its future. His approach involves close collaboration with his cinematographers (Michel Brault and Bernard Gosselin, who often co-direct), direct involvement with the people or events, and later, a careful construction of scenes in the editing room. From the 1960s and early 1970s (on Pour la suite du monde, Le règne du jour, Les voitures d'eau and L'Acadie L'Acadie?!) through his later films on Abitibi and First Nations people, he expressed the concept of 'ethnic class' that some feel avoids more basic issues, even though it gave voice to long-buried cultural aspirations."[3]
Perrault's life and work was analyzed by Jean-Daniel Lafond in the 1986 documentary film Dream Tracks (Les Traces du rêve).[4]
