‘NOT TO HAVE LOVE OR PAIN IN YOUR HEART MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT A VERY WELL FINISHED HUMAN BEING’ CLAIRE DENIS Claire Denis seems to find pleasure and grief in our status as ‘fallen’ beings, writes season curator Sophie Monks Kaufman ‘I guess my films are made out of tenderness and love for human beings even when they can be very brutal,’ Denis said in 2018. She knows herself well; contrasting emotional landscapes colour everything she’s made. The balance sometimes tilts towards brutality (the blood-soaked ears of corn in Bastards) and sometimes towards tenderness (the camera tracing body parts in Vendredi Soir): this season of 10 films moves from one pole to the other. Mysterious atmospheres electrified by sensuality are a motif of her films, as are the primal sounds of Tindersticks, the visions of cinematographer Agnès Godard and the faces of actors she loves to work with, faces which – with the exception of Alex Descas – run more towards dramatic features than classical beauty: Grégoire Colin’s sharp nose, Béatrice Dalle’s gap teeth and Michel Subor’s cold eyes.

Geoffrey Brown 3 This thesis is dedicated to Agnès Calatayud, an inspirational teacher, who reconnected me to French cinema after a long carence, and who, crucially, first introduced me to the films of Claire Denis. 4 Abstract This thesis argues that the interest which the films of Claire Denis display in the ever-shifting modes of relations between people is illustrated through analysis of how music is used throughout her corpus of feature films. Denis draws on an extremely eclectic palette of musical styles, and the thesis proposes that these varying musical modalities are central to her treatment of relational issues, as are the ways in which she deploys her chosen musical selections.

Monte and his daughter Willow live together aboard a spacecraft, in complete isolation. A man whose strict self-discipline is a shield against desire, Monte fathered her against his will. His sperm was used to inseminate the young woman who gave birth to her. They were members of a crew of prisoners – death row inmates. Guinea pigs sent on a mission. Now only Monte and Willow remain. Through his daughter, he experiences the birth of an all-powerful love. Together, father and daughter approach their destination – the black hole in which time and space cease to exist. How did High Life come about? A while back, an English producer asked me if I wanted to participate in a collection of films called Femmes Fatales. At first, I wasn’t that interested, but after thinking it over, I agreed. The project took ages to get off the ground. There was no money. It took 6 or 7 years to hammer out a coproduction: France, Germany, Poland and eventually America. During that time, I went to England and the States to meet with actors. The actor I dreamed of for the lead role of Monte was Philip Seymour Hoffman, because of his age, his weariness – but he died mid- route.

Isabelle (Binoche) is a divorced Parisian painter searching for another shot at love, but refusing to settle for the parade of all- too-flawed men who drift in and out of her life. There’s a caddish banker (Xavier Beauvois) who, like many of her lovers, happens to be married; a handsome actor (Nicolas Duvauchelle) who’s working through his own hang-ups; and a sensitive fellow artist (Alex Descas) who’s skittish about commitment. What reads like a standard romantic comedy premise is transformed, in the hands of master filmmaker Denis, into something altogether deeper, more poignant, and perceptive about the profound mysteries of love. 2 Interview with Director Claire Denis I was in one of those lull periods between two projects: my previous film, which was particularly tough, and the next one, a foreign co-production, which is naturally more difficult to put together. So, I was in a suspended state of expectation. Then, exactly at the right moment, Olivier Delbosc presented me with a proposal: he had a project he wished to produce and he wanted me to be part of it.

    En partenariat avec le Festival International du film de La Rochelle et Potemkine CLAIRE DENIS RÉTROSPECTIVE 25 SEPTEMBRE - 20 OCTOBRE Trouble Every Day 42 LA FRAGILITÉ DES LIENS En trente ans, Claire Denis a réalisé une œuvre ouverte sur le monde, où les liens (filiaux, amoureux) entre les êtres humains ne sont jamais acquis, où les corps imposent leur présence avec sensualité, dans des territoires loin- tains ou proches. Rétrospective à l’occasion de la sortie de son nouveau film, Un beau soleil intérieur. CLAIRE DENIS La jeune femme conduit une voiture, clope au bec. Lituanienne, elle s’appelle Daïga et a les traits de l’actrice Katerina Golubeva. Elle vient voir sa tante à Paris, théâtre de faits divers violents, où de vieilles femmes sont assassinées chez elles. La conductrice est filmée de profil, elle écoute un vieux poste radio d’où s’échappe une musique aux rythmes afro-cubains. Dans d’autres films, ce plan presque anodin de J’ai pas sommeil, troisième long métrage de fiction de Claire Denis, serait peut-être passé inaperçu. Mais ici, cette image signée par sa fidèle directrice de la photographie, Agnès Godard, devient magique, mys- térieuse, mélancolique. J’ai pas sommeil, au fond, n’est pas ce qu’il devrait être au premier abord, à savoir un thriller où l’on a la chair de poule, un film de genre où l’on reconstitue PROGRAMMATION un fait divers qui a réellement eu lieu. Il reste des éléments de ce film annoncé, mais subsiste surtout, comme souvent dans d’autres films de la cinéaste, une œuvre somnambulique où les personnages errent, se croisent et tentent sou- vent de (re)créer entre eux un lien qui finit par se défaire, comme le rappelle d’ailleurs dans le film la chanson de Jean-Louis Murat.

His sister Sandra is desperate - her husband has committed suicide, the family business has gone under, her daughter is spiralling downwards. Sandra holds powerful businessman Edouard Laporte responsible. Marco moves into the building where Laporte has installed his mistress and her son. But he hasn’t planned for Sandra’s secrets, which muddy the waters… A CONVERSATION WITH CLAIRE DENIS What were the origins of “Bastards” (“Les Salauds”)? It’s always difficult for me to explain how old ideas and new events crystallize. In fact, in this case, it was me who crystallized entirely. I was at a point in my life, a rather hollow, empty moment during which I let time pass on certain projects, long-term projects as we say when they’re unclear, projects in which I alone believed. Vincent Maraval, who probably realized this, offered a hand to force me to move. Vincent Lindon calls him the shaman. In my case, it’s certainly true. So, one day in spring 2012, I thought of the French title of a magnificent Kurosawa film, Les Salauds dorment en paix (“The Bad Sleep Well”).
