Claire Denis

Every image is about subjectivity.

I suppose I am interested in the variety of human life - how people live. I am most interested in individuals and how they respond to challenges or to difficulties, or just to each other. I am curious about people. So that's why I do a lot of different things. The cinema should be human and be part of people's lives; it should focus on ordinary existences in sometimes extraordinary situations and places. That is what really motivates me. Show less «

Life is made of the only thing you can decide, the rest you can not: to commit suicide or to kill someone. The rest, happens. Show less «

I have a dreamy distance with reality, which is not a really good thing.

For me, film-making is a journey into the impossible.
