I believe it was a French documentary, the man was rather large. He was mentally ill and formally a ballet dancer. Lived in extremely messy apartment and I think the premise of the film was his impending eviction? Featured interviews from his neighbors. A quote from him in the movie was “ la vie a sa propre validité, mais il faut faire un effort”. Believe I watched it on Netflix around 2012-15, been looking for it for a couple years now so any suggestions are appreciated. Even though I don’t remember very much it was important to me, thank you
