"The French filmmaker Claire Denis talks about herself and her films: her working methods, childhood influences, the recurring themes and ongoing preoccupations in her work. Passing freely from subject to subject, she discusses the role of the filmmaker concerned with ideas, then moves on to ponder how to film the human body in such a way as to portray its singularity on the screen. "A single sequence shot is the time required for the public to identify with the character. It is also the opportunity for choreography that has nothing to do with the movement of a camera among the actors in a choreographed sequence, but rather the choreography of a body in front of the camera." Supplemented with excerpts from her films, this in-depth documentary offers rare insight into one of France’s most innovative directors"--Container.
