Lepage plays a Canadian who is in Paris to supply a voice-over for a film on Miles Davis; and also in hope of getting over a persisting love sickness which drives him first to consult a hypnotherapist and then to escape into opium. It is not much of a story; but, for this artist in cross-cultural perspective and hidden correspondences, it is only the starting point for a journey in space and time.

I'm uneasily aware that the more I attempt to describe Needles and Opium, the more preposterous it sounds. But while you are watching, it not only dazzles the eye but makes a strange kind of sense. There is a dream-like logic to the narrative, and Lepage disarms criticism with self-mockery.

In this piece, Lepage manages to square the circle - in the sense of proving that it is possible to be a screen artist and a theatrical performer at one and the same time. The proceedings are dominated by a large revolving screen with which Lepage has a varied, visually arresting relationship.
