  • (POST)COLONIAL AFRICA by Katherine Lynn Coverdale the F
    ABSTRACT AN EXPLORATION OF IDENTITY IN CLAIRE DENIS’ AND MATI DIOP’S (POST)COLONIAL AFRICA by Katherine Lynn Coverdale The focus of this thesis is aimed at two female French directors: Claire Denis and Mati Diop. Both auteurs utilize framing to create and subsequently break down ideological boundaries of class and race. Denis’ films Chocolat and White Material show the impossibility of a distinct identity in a racialized post-colonial society for someone who is Other. With the help of Laura Mulvey and Richard Dyer, the first chapter of this work on Claire Denis offers a case study of the relationship between the camera and race seen through a deep analysis of several sequences of those two films. Both films provide an opportunity to analyze how the protagonists’ bodies are perceived on screen as a representation of a racial bias held in reality, as seen in the juxtaposition of light and dark skin tones. The second chapter analyzes themes of migration and the symbolism of the ocean in Diop’s film Atlantique. I argue that these motifs serve to demonstrate how to break out of the identity assigned by society in this more modern post-colonial temporality. All three films are an example of the lasting violence due to colonization and its seemingly inescapable ramifications, specifically as associated with identity.

  • The-Original-Sin-Of-Claire-Denis [PDF]
    ‘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.

  • Five by Claire Denis’
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE PRESENTS FILM SERIES ‘FIVE BY CLAIRE DENIS’ Retrospective includes preview screening of Bastards and new 35mm prints of Chocolat and Trouble Every Day October 13–22, 2013 Astoria, New York, October 9, 2013—Museum of the Moving Image will present five films by the French director Claire Denis, to coincide with the theatrical release of her latest feature, Bastards, which is being distributed by Sundance Selects. The Museum’s retrospective, running from October 13 through 22, will include four of Denis’s greatest films and concludes with a preview screening of Bastards. The series Five by Claire Denis opens with her best-known film Beau Travail (1999), an adaptation of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd, set amongst the French Foreign Legion in Djibouti, and starring Denis Lavant (Holy Motors) and Claire Denis regular Grégoire Colin. The films Chocolat (1988), Denis’s debut feature and semiautobiographical tale of a young girl growing up in 1950s Cameroon, and Trouble Every Day (2001), a vivid, sensuous, and gory take on horror starring Vincent Gallo and Beatrice Dalle, will be presented in brand new 35mm prints from Film Desk. The series also includes The Intruder (L’Intrus) (2004), a film of lush, mysterious images and textures, which follows an inscrutable older man (Michel Subor) as he searches the globe for his lost son (Colin). Bastards (Les salauds) (2013), which recently premiered at the New York Film Festival, is Denis’s first digitally shot film (by the great cinematographer and frequent Denis collaborator Agnes Godard), a contemporary film noir and savage revenge drama starring Vincent Lindon, Chiara Mastroianni, and Julie Bataille.

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.

  • Foreign Bodies, Community and Trauma in the Films of Claire Denis
    Foreign Bodies, Community and Trauma in the Films of Claire Denis:... http://www.screeningthepast.com/2013/09/foreign-bodies-community-... Kath Dooley … if my films have a common link, maybe it’s being a foreigner – it’s common for people who are born abroad – they don’t know so well where they belong. It’s not the kind of thing you find in literature, music or photography – being from abroad makes you look different. – Claire Denis [1] Having grown up in Africa as the daughter of a French civil servant, French writer/director Claire Denis was positioned as an outsider. Whereas this status was clearly marked by her skin colour in early life, returning to France as a teenager also presented challenges in terms of foreignness and identification – despite it being the country where she was born, and of which she is a citizen. Douglas Morrey posits that ‘in the filmmaking of Claire Denis, the body is the limit between sense and world. The body is always other – the means by which the other appears to me but also by which I am revealed to myself, as other’. [2] This statement has resonance not just for the director’s choice of themes, but also for her stylistic choices: the use of cinematography, sound and editing to explore the intersections of foreign bodies. Martine Beugnet makes the point that Denis’ ‘perception of the Other is always complex and ambiguous’, and is ‘that which spurs curiosity and creates desire’. [3] As such, rather than reinforcing binary oppositions that seek to stigmatise, the director is subtle in her questioning of the effects of dominant cultures in multicultural contexts.

  • White Material : a Devastating, Intimate African Nightmare
    keskeswickwick WHITE film Autumn club Season MATERIAL a world of cinema 2010 White Material : A devastating, intimate African nightmare. Pick of the week: Claire Denis and Isabelle Huppert's White Material is a brilliantly acted post-colonial tale REVIEW BY ANDREW O'HEHIR, SALON.COM: French director Claire Denis' new film is called White Material , and the title is both metaphorical and entirely literal. (It's not a translation; the English words are also the French title.) The movie is an intimate, nightmarish, overtly realistic story about white people in Africa, specifically a French coffee-planting family that's facing the end of its economic power in some unidentified post-colonial Francophone African country torn between a corrupt government and an anarchic rebel movement. (Denis herself lived in Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Senegal as a child, when her father was a French civil servant.) The phrase itself is often repeated, by the teenage rebels who torment Maria Vial (Isabelle Huppert) and her family, by the nationalist agitator who incites violence over Afro-reggae tracks on the radio, by the calm bureaucrat who already has a pseudo-European house much larger than the Vials' but now proposes to dispossess them in exchange for their lives.
