The town is the third character in regista di questo film. La cittadina di Riviersonderend è il this film and it pushes Gilles and Tiny, although they are contesto in cui si svolge la vicenda: una comunità rurale, from different, disconnected worlds, together. sempre alle prese con tensioni razziali mai sopite, con la Gilles is displaced, a foreign man in a scarred country and povertà e numerosi altri problemi sociali che continuano he does not realize at first that the wounds of this place ad affliggere questo paese.

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.

    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.
