In the Chanzy neighbourhood of Pointe-à-Pitre, the economic capital of Guadeloupe, bulldozers are pulling down residential blocks. L'homme-vertige: Tales of a City follows the city’s wanderers through the empty streets. They all carry the wounds of this city within them, and are now seers. Circulating throughout the internal and external spaces, both endangered, are the director’s empathetic conversations and relationships—with the lung-diseased former freedom fighter Ti Chal, with the crack addict Priscilla, with the angry and then calmer Eddie, with the fish scaler Kanpèch. Eric resists the inevitable dilapidation with his view of the city, his recitation of texts by Joël Beuze and Amílcar Cabral. Malaury Eloi Paisley: “And I ask myself why I feel the need to wander the streets of Pointe-à-Pitre.”
