Hippolyte Girardot

“[Yuki & Nina] On tournait dans l’ordre chronologique, il n’y avait rien de programmatique. Ce processus permettait aux enfants acteurs de développer leur personnage de façon très naturelle. Faire ce film, c’était aussi vivre des choses, et peut-être que cela se voit à l’écran.”

    A CHRISTMAS TALE

    ARNAUD DESPLECHIN France, 2008

    Arnaud Desplechin’s whirlwind dramedy doesn’t fully reject Christmas joy, but it does give the undersung holiday traditions of dysfunction and discomfort their time in the spotlight. Starring a formidable French cast, this festive film’s thorny exterior makes way for little glimmers of tender hope.

    LA MOUSTACHE

    EMMANUEL CARRÈRE France, 2005

    Winner of the Europa Cinemas award at Cannes (a top prize in the Directors’ Fortnight sidebar), La Moustache is an eerie psychological drama in the spirit of Kafka with shades of Hitchcock, building outward beguilingly from the most simple—and bizarre—of premises.

    SLEEPING SICKNESS

    ULRICH KÖHLER Germany, 2011

    Perhaps inspired by his early years in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Berlin School’s Ulrich Köhler drew acclaim for this ambitious, characteristically insightful exploration of the construction of masculinity inside & outside of the family unit. Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director.
