Overview

Why do the comic-strip Adventures of Tintin, about an intrepid boy reporter, continue to fascinate us decades after their publication? "Tintin and I" highlights the potent social and political underpinnings that give Tintin's world such depth, and delve into the mind of Hergé, Tintin's work-obsessed Belgian creator, to reveal the creation and development of Tintin over time. Rare and surprisingly candid 1970s interviews reveal the profound insecurities and anxieties that drove Hergé to produce stories that have not only entertained millions of children but also helped to satisfy a personal longing for self-expression.

00:07:57 - and I still do today.

00:10:16 When I look back at my childhood and youth ...

00:12:17 - who would fight for good all over the world.

00:44:53 I left my wife. It was an awful experience.

00:48:27 He told me to exorcise my white demons. I dreamt in white.

00:52:40 ''Our lips are sealed.''

00:56:10 Everything's falling apart. The entire old world is finished.

00:59:28 - and the possibility lay in painting, which I quickly gave up, because ...

01:01:51 I can't stand on my head and draw at the same time.

01:04:21 He had not found peace. Far from it.

01:06:40 - because everyone knew the story.

01:09:04 All my friends, editors, etc. -

01:10:55 Everyone that was around him during his last days.
