Director Olivier Assayas’ previous feature Clouds of Sils Maria was quite a success, raking in largely positive reviews as well as cracking nearly $2 million here in the United States and placing high on our top 50 films of 2015; now it’s finally getting its deserved Criterion treatment this week. Included in the disc is a 38-minute interview feature with stars Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart, and a section of it is available to watch today.
In the clip, the actors explore of the femininity in Clouds of Sils Maria, as well as how Binoche pushed Assayas in its creation and how Stewart perceives their relationship in the film as well as what kind of movies she likes to watch. See the talk below with a nod to The Criterion Collection, along with our discussion of the film, and pick up Criterion’s release of Clouds here. One can also read our extensive interview with Assayas here.
Clouds of Sils Maria is now available on The Criterion Collection.
