“Even if it's the dream of a voyage, I think it was very important for me that the film offer the two sides of the globe.”

    WHITE MATERIAL

    CLAIRE DENIS France, 2009

    The collaboration between Isabelle Huppert and Claire Denis the world had been dreaming of, arrived with this powerful story about the death throes of white colonialism. Denis—who grew up in French Africa—returns to her roots with this sublime, poetic yet nightmarish exploration of racial conflict.

    35 SHOTS OF RUM

    CLAIRE DENIS France, 2008

    Beloved arthouse director Claire Denis brings her sensual, tender touch to this very contemporary version of Ozu’s classic masterpiece on familial bonds and the transience of life, Late Spring. Unforgettably shot by the great Agnès Godard and beautifully scored by the Tindersticks.

    LET THE SUNSHINE IN

    CLAIRE DENIS France, 2017

    A Claire Denis romcom? We’re sold! Subverting fairytale tropes with fine irony, this wonderfully unpredictable take on middle-age female desire and the volatility of emotions stars an exquisitely mercurial Juliette Binoche—searching for love, encountering mostly disappointment. Oh, and that ending!

    BASTARDS

    CLAIRE DENIS France, 2013

    Claire Denis explores the dark side of erotics with a fascination and fearlessness that few other filmmakers possess. Bristling with passion and pain, Chiara Mastroianni and Vincent Lindon are accessories to a festering spiral of unthinkable transgression in this sinister but thrilling noir.
