Mort subite d'un homme-théâtre (lit. "Sudden Death of a Theatre Man") is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Jean-Claude Coulbois and released in 2011.[1] The film is a profile of Robert Gravel, an actor and playwright who was an influential figure in Quebec's theatre scene until his death in 1996.[1]
The film had originally entered production in the 1990s, with Coulbois conducting initial interviews with Gravel for a documentary that would have portrayed his then-current work, but after Gravel's death Coulbois put the film on hold for over a decade until deciding to return to the film as an exploration of Gravel's enduring impact on theatre in the province.[2] Figures appearing in the film, discussing Gravel's legacy or appearing in archival footage, include Jacques L'Heureux, Alexis Martin, Anne-Marie Provencher, Jean-Pierre Ronfard, Paul Savoie and Guylaine Tremblay.
The film premiered in March 2012.[1]
It was a Jutra Award nominee for Best Documentary Film at the 15th Jutra Awards in 2013.[3]
