Do artists have a “best before” label? Are creators doomed to repeat themselves as they get older? Picasso and Tolstoy created masterpieces into their 80s and 90s. Were they exceptions to the rule? What is the creative process at 50 versus at 20?

These questions hit close to home for Marc Labrèche, himself a creator in his 50s. In Le cri du rhinocéros (Rhino's Cry), he gets to the heart of the matter in informal conversation with artists – some young, some old – from various disciplines: Denis Villeneuve, John Irving, Robert Lepage, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jonathan Franzen, Denys Arcand, Xavier Dolan, Atom Egoyan, and more.
