Self
Making a film about the choreographer Jérôme Bel means embarking on a paradoxical project: how do you direct the anti-director? There’s a risk of seeing your film turn against itself.
Director
Invited to make a piece for the ballet of the Paris Opera by her director Brigitte Lefèvre, Jérôme Bel wanted to stage a kind of theatrical documentary on the work of one of the dancers of the ballet : Véronique Doisneau. The dancer, close to the retirement age, alone on stage, retrospectively and subjectively considers her own career as ballerina inside this institution. This film was shot during the last performance of the piece on the stage of the Palais Garnier.
Long exposure work, frame by frame, in the streets of Prague. "East" atmosphere of confinement and self-censorship, foreboding and deleterious.
