A high-profiled documentary about Hergé and his major cartoon success, Tintin, based in part on previously unreleased archive tape footage. (imdb)

A portrait of one of the 20th century's major artists, the Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, a.k.a. Hergé. Sometimes reluctantly, Hergé devoted his life to his hero Tintin, his cartoon double who became better known than he did. We discover this tormented, unrecognised perfectionist, for whom fame was never reward enough. (imdb)
