Centres on Canadian animator Ryan Larkin, who in later years lived on skid row in Montreal following a history of drug and alcohol abuse.

谁也想不到，加拿大著名动画工作者雷恩·拉金（Ryan Larkin），曾经获得奥斯卡提名并在动画片影史上留下重要痕迹的人，如今却沦落街头成为一名乞丐。在他看来，自己只是提前退休，不再受到评论家的束缚而已。同为电影工作者的克里斯·兰德瑞斯（Chris Landreth）偶然邂逅雷恩。经过一段时间了解，他决定拍摄一部关于雷恩的纪录片，于是就有了那部2005年荣获奥斯卡最佳短片奖并在其他电影节横扫十多个奖项的《拯救大师雷恩》（Ryan）。本篇介绍了《Ryan》的缘起，回顾了雷恩童年生活与成长经历以及影响他人生的方方面面，还对其作品进行深入探讨。

Just watched this on the National Film Board of Canada site where they have about 300 of their material presented for your enjoyment. Having previously viewed and commented on a couple of shorts associated with animator Ryan Larkin, I was excited when Street Musique was presented on the NFB site twice in both French and English title form (otherwise, it's the same film). Starting with black-and-white live-action of a fiddle player and a mandolin player performing on a downtown sidewalk, Larkin then does abstract line drawings on white that become images that are very hard to describe. He then does some watercolor (at least that's what I think it is) images that are likewise. All this is done to the music of those two players that matches the drawings perfectly. Nothing else to say except for anyone who loves abstract animation, I highly recommend Ryan Larkin's Street Musique.
