Juliette Binoche i rollen som 50-åriga, frånskilda Isabelle syns i varje bildruta när hon går igenom den ena hopplösa historien efter den andra på jakt efter kärleken. Isabelle träffar män, älskar dem eller inbillar sig att hon älskar dem. Men det är alltid något som inte stämmer. Som står i vägen. En gest, ett ord, ett tonfall… Hopp, förväntan och besvikelse. Isabelle går igenom allt i sin envisa tro att kärleken finns och att det går att ha en mogen relation där hon kan få vara sig själv. Men kommer det någonsin att hända? För varje man hon träffar tänds hoppet. Kan det vara han? I ROLLERNA PRODUKTIONSUPPGIFTER Juliette Binoche. (Isabelle) Regi. Claire Denis Xavier Beauvois . (Bankmannen) Producent.

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.

    HIGH LIFE 110 min / Germany – France – USA – Poland – UK / 2018 / 1.66 / 5.1 EVA DIEDERIX [email protected] SILVIA SIMONUTTI [email protected] FANNY BEAUVILLE [email protected] OLPHA BEN SALAH [email protected] PHOTOS AND PRESS KIT CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM https://www.wildbunch.biz/movie/high-life/ Deep space. 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.

  • BAM Presents Strange Desire: the Films of Claire Denis, Mar 29—Apr 9, the Largest-Ever US Retrospective Dedicated to the Celebrated French Filmmaker
    BAM presents Strange Desire: The Films of Claire Denis, Mar 29—Apr 9, the largest-ever US retrospective dedicated to the celebrated French filmmaker February 20, 2019/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, March 29 through Tuesday, April 9, BAM presents Strange Desire: The Films of Claire Denis, the most extensive retrospective ever presented in the US dedicated to Denis, a filmmaker consistently counted among the greatest living directors by filmmakers and critics alike. Denis’ work is a delicate balance of contradictions: her films are beloved, yet elusive; influential, yet singular; grounded in corporeality, but with a shifting relationship with time. Born in France, raised in colonial Africa where her father was a civil servant, and eventually returning to France as a teenager, Denis subtly explores race and colonial relationships, love and eroticism, the texture of bodies and environments, and the elasticity of time. Following the retrospective, BAM will screen Denis’ critically acclaimed new feature, the poetic science fiction film High Life (2019), starring Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, Mia Goth, and André Benjamin. Denis will appear in person at BAM for a sneak preview show on April 3. The film opens in New York and Los Angeles on April 5. The series begins with Beau Travail (1999), Denis’ masterful update of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd, starring Denis Lavant and regular collaborator Grégoire Colin. A study of jealousy and obsession set among the existential ennui and empty rituals of the French Foreign Legion in Djibouti, Beau Travail captures Denis’ signature elliptical style and hypnotic rhythms. A balletic study of bodies in motion with an unforgettable final scene, Beau Travail is Denis’ most iconic and influential work.

Après avoir écrit les scripts, je suis allé à un entretien avec la personne qui avait passé la commande, et il y avait une autre personne dans la pièce. Qui étaient-ils ?

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.

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 began in early 2012.
