Literary Ménage: An Investigation into the Writing of Jacques Fux (2018)

A woman eating churros. A banal scene if it were not captured by the voyeuristic gaze of a writer (Jacques Fux), who sees it as a "religious experience." But the writer does not glimpse that "spectacle" alone. He invites his canon - Charles Baudelaire, James Joyce, David Foster Wallace, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Vinicius de Moraes, Susan Sontag, Marcel Proust, Michel Foucault, Fernando Pessoa, Jacques Prévert, Roland Barthes - to interpret the gestures of that "Good morning muse." However, in front of his sordid creation, the writer ends up being interviewed by his own character: a film that seeks the limits of documentary.
