On Sleep

A strange thing occurs. The world becomes transposed, intensified, electrified. We see it sharper than before. Not in dramatic, rearranged contexts and meanings, not in the service of something else [...] but as pure as it is in itself: eating as eating, sleeping as sleeping, haircut as haircut.

FILM
Les amants réguliers
Philippe Garrel, 2005, 183’

Cinema Scope: In Les amants réguliers, a very subjective, very personal take on May 1968, your son Louis plays a 20-year-old guy getting caught up in an unexpected revolution. You were 20 in 1968 as well. How autobiographical is this film?

Au dos de nos images

Partie 2

Deux corps séparés par quelque chose qu’on ignore. Des gestes, des mots, des regards qui ne cessent de mesurer la distance qui les sépare en même temps que la puissance du secret qui les rapproche. C’est cela qu’il faudra tenter de mesurer avec notre caméra.

De heilige overwinning van Hong Sang-soo

Hong Sang-soo zal deze referentie naar Cézanne, die hij vaak aanhaalt, kunnen waarderen, alsook mijn bedachtzaamheid als ik over hem spreek. Hij is als een geschonken boek, waarvan we ontdekken dat bepaalde bladzijdes zorgvuldig zijn uitgescheurd en dat zodoende plotseling alles ontbreekt. Zijn films hebben onze toestemming niet nodig, ze eisen een totale omarming.

Hong Sang-soo’s Holy Victory
Claire Denis 2005
Translated by

    Hong Sang-soo will appreciate the reference to Cézanne, whom he often quotes, and my caution when talking about him. He is like an offered book, of which we discover that certain pages have been carefully torn out and therefore everything is suddenly missing. His films don’t need our agreement; they require total rallying.

    Tale of Cinema
    Hong Sang-soo, 2005, 89’

    “I don’t think you really understood the film.”

    FILM
    The Big Red One: The Reconstruction
    Samuel Fuller, 2005, 162’

    “I was driven to turn my wartime experiences into a movie in order to convey the physical and mental upheaval of men at war. That’s how I ultimately came to grips with my experiences. Tactics, strategy, troop movements on maps were for military historians.
