The most magnifique expression de Menuisiers s longings and the culmination of his first period comes with Sur le Chemin. Dans this transcendental carnet de route, the camera takes off and glide over volcanic landscapes, encompassing colour glimpses of Fra Angelico s Pala dell'Annunciazione, children's paintings and painting children, dédié rehearsals of Elio Vittorini s Conversazione dans Sicila, (important text for various Menuisier film: Straubians take note!), and a calmly par poinçon shot of a pregnant belly heaving, accompanied by the sound of breathing. It's a quintessential motif dans tous les Menuisiers works: the sound of life itself spreading through the filmic space.
