A rare film that we didn’t even know was going to exist at the start of the year, Claire Denis is back with a new drama starring Juliette Binoche, Gérard Depardieu, and Xavier Beauvois. Set to open Directors’ Fortnight today, Let the Sunshine In is adapted from Roland Barthes‘ A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments, which deconstructs the language of love.
Directors’ Fortnight Artistic director Edouard Waintrop says of the film, “What touched us is that it marks a radical change in tone for Claire Denis. We like it when filmmakers try something new.” With that mighty curious statement, the first clips have now arrived, which certainly sell a more formally relaxed tone for Denis, particularly when compared with her last film Bastards.
Check out both clips below and return for our review.
Let the Sunshine In premieres today at Cannes Film Festival.
