Claire Denis's portrait of the French choreographer Mathilde Monnier, with whom she shares a working relationship with Jean-Luc Nancy. “Mathilde Monnier asked me to film one of her pieces. I told her that I didn’t have the time and that I wasn’t interested. However, because she was insistent, I proposed that I could film her work in my free time. We did it very simply: my brother did the sound, and Agnes or Ellen took care of the image. We worked like that for a year before we began to edit. I decided to focus on my relationship to Mathilde presenting her work, as if we were similar in our work processes. I felt that she wanted me to film her because she saw something similar in me, and she was right. We could be sisters.”
