Creation History
When working on the painting "Jump of an Angel" Yves Boisse, as has happened more than once in his career, has been confronted with unspoken and direct censorship . Filming on the Cote d'Azur was impeded by both official and criminal circles. According to film critic Mikhail Trofimenkov , “the Marseille police and local criminals simultaneously warned Boisset that they did not want to see the film crew in“ their “city. The group had to get out of Nice under pressure from the corrupt mayor Jacques Medsen. ” At the request of the censors, episodes unfolding on the background of the wall with the inscription “Medsen - scum” were removed from the film.
