Claire Denis Confirms New Film The Fence, Hints at Second Project

Simply last summer season it was discovered Claire Denis would certainly quickly location-scout her new attribute in Cameroon, where she matured and would certainly make use of as a main location for Chocolat and White Product. Due to the fact that inside story websites were not precisely going through every call for additional details we have actually just currently discovered following information. Talking With Display Daily in Doha, Denis offered this film a tentative title, The Fence, and noted it fixates “four main characters, three men and a woman,” 3 of whom have actually been cast (though unrevealed).

This missing out on participant may stimulate some rewrites, and along with particular area information being obscure, Denis discussed the film in a strangely enough ambivalent fashion:

“The script, I know it’s solidly built; there is something I could trust easily. But I realized since December, I have described them, I know the way they look, I could even describe their clothes. But there is something missing, I don’t know them enough, I realize they are still characters.”

Plot-wise, The Fence worries “a construction site directed and held by white Occidental [Western] people, and the workers are African.” Yet it may not be the only point coming quickly; it may not also be the following. Per typical—- e.g. 35 Shots of Rum capturing while White Product got on hold, Allow the Sunlight In being created instead of Jet set, or Both Sides of the Blade briefly superseding Stars at Twelve Noon—-Denis has an additional project in mind. Simply put, “In the meantime, I’m doing something else.” Whether that’s a film or acid jazz cd or food preparation publication—- that recognizes. It behaves sufficient discovering she, in spite of reports of retiring, has no intent to hang up the hat. “I think the best way to retire is to die” ought to count as a verification of intent.
