Binoche Directs Raw Film of Dance Collab
16 Sep
Summary
- Binoche makes directing debut with a film about her dance collaboration.
- The film captures the creation process of the dance-theatre piece 'In-I'.
- It explores vulnerability and pushing artistic boundaries.
Juliette Binoche has stepped behind the camera for her directorial debut with 'In-I in Motion.' This raw and intimate film chronicles her 2008 collaboration with British dancer Akram Khan on the dance-theatre piece 'In-I'.
The documentary primarily focuses on the intense creative process during rehearsals. Shot fly-on-the-wall style, it captures Binoche and Khan working with an acting coach, pushing their artistic limits and exposing vulnerabilities. The film culminates in a stage performance set against a striking backdrop designed by Anish Kapoor.
While the footage offers thrilling insight into artistic dedication, the film lacks a narrator or interviewer to provide context. Questions remain about Binoche's 17-year delay in compiling the documentary, her dance training, and reactions to the original reviews.
