Event

In the library of Claire Denis

Wednesday 28 June 2023 at 7 pm

Quels sont les dix livres que Claire Denis emporterait sur une île déserte ?

As part of the In the library of, designed in partnership with AOC and hosted by Sylvain Bourmeau, the Foundation welcomes Claire Denis, director and screenwriter, famous for her films Chocolat, Beau travail, Trouble Every Day, 35 Rhums, White Material and Les Salauds

Her last two films, "Avec amour et acharnement" and "Stars at Noon", represent two poles of a body of work that, since her first feature film, "Chocolat", in 1988, has included a highly intimate dimension, as close as possible to physical emotions, and an attention to non-Eurocentric, non-Western forms of existence that is unparalleled in French cinema.

Claire Denis' personal journey since her childhood in Africa, her training in cinema partly in America alongside Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch, and her particular sensitivity to formal and narrative proposals from Asia all contribute to this singular trajectory.

The meeting with Claire Denis will close the "Dans la bibliothèque de" cycle which, for two years, has welcomed to the Fondation Pernod the Fondation Pernod Ricard, with original and fascinating exchanges with : Patrick Bouchain, Marie Darrieussecq, Jeau-Paul Demoule Demoule, Arnaud Desplechin, Georges Didi- Huberman, Julien Gosselin, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Maylis de Kerangal, Aïssa Maïga, Achille Mbembe, Annette Messager.
