Arnaud Desplechin
Introduction (Arnaud Desplechin)
Arnaud Desplechin
Energetic, comic, and attentive to the possibilities of cinema and of life, Arnaud Desplechin's films demonstrate the enduring relevance of François Truffaut's dictum, "Every shot, four ideas." Room 2 is an invitation to explore Desplechin's influences, method, and imaginative transformations of scripts, texts, and poetic references. Desplechin's cinematic approach is the focus of Room 3, which proceeds sequentially from painting and visual perspective, to cinematic treatments of face-to-face encounters, to layers of theatrical play, and then finally to the melding of space, myth, and performance. As with Desplechin's films, each section builds upon and responds to the ones that preceded it. Photograph by Gus Aronson (Paris, November 2021)
