“It’s a cliché for a debut feature, but I wanted to try lots of different things in the same film. Very quickly, I decided this would be dangerous, and it risked ending up a stodgy mess. But it also presented me with a challenge: to travel through all these worlds, open up the borders between what’s real, what’s imaginary, and dreams.”

    LOVER FOR A DAY

    PHILIPPE GARREL France, 2017

    In this lithe romantic triangle, Philippe Garrel shows us he only needs the barest means—plus 35mm B&W film—to tell a story. Co-scripted with his regular collaborator Jean-Claude Carrière, the film oozes desire and intensity, as two women (one played by his daughter Esther) find out what love means.

    LES COQUILLETTES

    SOPHIE LETOURNEUR France, 2012

    With her usual playful, self-deprecating wit, Sophie Letourneur crafted this delightful gem starring Louis Garrel. Shot during the Locarno Film Festival, Les coquillettes is a refreshingly candid comedy that follows three unashamed women more interested in potential flings than high-brow flicks.
