It’s unusual to see this story told by a woman – and especially by Claire Denis, one of the most challenging and innovative film-makers at work today. Denis is a writer and director with a ferociously individual vision: her output is unpredictable, sometimes intransigently tough. I meet Denis late one evening in the bar of London’s Curzon Bloomsbury cinema; at 72, she exudes a tough, nervy, energetic chic. It is, I suggest to Denis, a very interesting time to be making films about the relations between women and men. I never met a Harvey Weinstein in Africa.”Denis is more relaxed talking about the actors she has worked with.
