i immediately searched (in vain) for the listing on the Vancouver International Film Festival website. luckily, Happy Bat, had a copy of Denis' "Friday Night" from 2002.
last night i watched the movie and tonight i'm listening to the director commentary.
essentially, Claire Denis is making the type of films that i've been picturing in my mind; films that are ambient, atmospheric, melancholy, full of intense undertones, and have almost no dialogue.
the camera zooms in on and caresses the characters' hands, legs, mouths, and flirtive glances. she delights in the little movements and small gestures.
listening to Denis talk about an intimate scene and what it means to her has, literally, put me on the verge of tears.
i'm utterly inspired.
