Between The Free - Claire Denny Film Research

France is the birthplace of the film, with the most romantic free creation of artistic atmosphere. The cultural exchanges between China and France since the establishment of diplomatic relations are increasingly frequent and in-depth. Claire Denis is the most important Contemporary French female director who held her first retrospective in China, 2014. In the fans’ heart, she already is the famous director.A review of the academic circles in China, the research is rare. Therefore the research work on the movie is imperative. Perhaps add some solutions of the French film,female directors of the new interpretation, also bring some creative inspiration to the domestic filmmakers.On the writing of this thesis, I have collected a large number of foreign literature,and independent on the Claire Denis’ s film research and literature translation work. I found her childhood experiences in Africa deeply branded in her mind, almost every piece of work has African elements, such as the African land, desert, black skin and so on. The features about Denis’ s film who graduated in the La Fémis, she really is not an academism with a very unique way. Although it is deeply influenced by the French new wave and the feminist movement, but did not she receive the imprisonment from beginning to end, a human nature is a special treatment. In the film, she make the feelings, sex, death and the memories through the most sincere feelings, this kind of avant-garde way make people cannot be classified as a separate group of directors.Claire Denis’ s image style is both offbeat and charming. There are a lot of daily life picture in the film, showing her frank and calm thinking about life. <Trouble every day> also triggered a round of "body film" phenomenon. She raised questions about the "body" on the screen and expressed clear and close, the bloody, violent,erotic, murder and so on the impact of terrorist elements all exposed, thus deeply to the audience to the life and self-rethinking and understanding.After the aesthetic qualities of a kind of "body film" has been spread in France, to bring people not desire in the sexual tension. The film <Friday night > even in the same sex that doesn’t bring the tension of desire. There is a kind of poetic, as it has always been romantic French style.In her works, she also constantly does not reveal to sell people intoxicated with the music, some soundtrack unexpectedly from the titles before has emerged, to bringthe audience a strong feeling. Because of the existence of music, one of the commonly used means of dance as she works, <Vers Mathilde> is recorded by a female dancer’glittering performances. Stop shining water has repeatedly appeared in Denis’ s works,there are like the sea open as brook trickling stream water quality, people like water flowing, kept in migration, travel.Through the analysis and research of the image, it can be found that Claire Denis ultimately want to express is nothing more than the concept of "edge". The rare white female director in the film with a profound concern at the weak position of the black race, strongly opposed to colonialism. At the same time, the invaders, outsiders, the edge of the group of homosexuals have also appeared in the film, and some even as the background of the hero appears. She shows the background of story by minimalist narration and slow rhythm, breaking the closed structure of time and space.Her alternative edge treatment is the weakening of emotional transition and interpersonal relationship.As a female filmmakers, her work shows the different face delicate but strong.Her biggest feature is without fear of gender barriers, shows their rigid female perspective of modernism by creating a normal life, true emotion and male-images.
