EXTRAITS DE PRESSE:

Une production à la Michael Moore – l’alarmisme en moins, la rigueur en plus –

Anna Vaucher, la Tribune de Genève

 

A sa modeste manière, Retour sur Terre sait se montrer convaincant.

Norbert Creutz, Le Temps

 

Alarmiste et moralisateur? Le cinéaste offre plutôt une réflexion globale et touffue sur la question.

Caroline Rieder, 24H

 

Retour sur Terre est un documentaire précis dans sa démarche et large dans sa réflexion.

Antoine Rochat, Cinéfeuilles

 

Ce passionnant documentaire et la manière de son auteur de vulgariser des sujets aussi complexes doivent être chaleureusement salués.

Constantin Xenakis, Cineman.ch

 

Retour sur Terre est un bon documentaire qui lance des pistes de réflexions sans vouloir donner de leçons.

SUMMARY:


In a rapidly changing world, the model of Western society, largely based on the exploitation of energy resources, is put to a tough test: financial downturn, energy crisis, climate change… Obsessed by our petrol-addicted future, Pierre Lacourt puts up camp in a petrol station and drags Alain, the attendant, into his musings. They share their nocturnal conversations with various specialists: geologists, politicians, philosophers, economists… It quickly becomes evident that petrol and the uses we make of it are the driving force behind our consumer society.
But can economic growth, the creed of our global era, last for ever on a planet with limited resources.
Back to Earth steers away from alarmist pitfalls, but examines these essential issues with simplicity, based on a fun and friendly approach.

The film was made with the help of the City of Geneva – Department of cultural affairs; the Regio Films fund, the Pour-cent culturel Migros; the Ernst Göhner Foundation, the Mécénat SIG fund; the Action Intermittent fund; the Degio Distrib fund.
