Claire Denis talks Robert Pattinson

Claire Denis presented a three-hour masterclass last Wednesday (29 April 2020) as part of the Vision du Réel film festival. The festival also honored her with the “Maître du Réel” and Claire was happy to provide some insights into her career where she mentioned both Rob and Juliette Binoche. The masterclass will be made available with English subtitles at the festivals site. But for now, here are two takes on what drew Claire to Rob:

From Variety:

There’s something hidden in him. I think that’s why he’s so strong. He’s not at all naturalistic — he has this plastic beauty behind which hides something mysterious. That’s very powerful in cinema.

From Cinecetta News (Italy)

The question of reality also manifests itself in your relationship with the actors, like when you talk about Robert Pattinson , which you directed in High Life : “I saw it in Twilight and Cosmopolis , and it struck me because it has a hidden side, which is also seen in Good Time . He is not a naturalist actor, there is always something under it, and that is why it works in all those films “. 

Claire Denis talks working with Robert Pattinson on High Life

The Independent recently spoke with Claire Denis and this is what she had to say about working with Rob:

The director’s technique with her actors is always the same – and it is always (quite literally) hands-on. “For me, it is impossible to work with someone I am not in love with. Any actress or any actor becomes mine. I remember when I started working with Robert (Pattinson, on High Life), I told him, ‘look, I am not going to work exactly like you are used to. Me, I will touch you.’” She would then “touch his hair, touch his skin” and try to come as close to him as she could.

That extreme level of intimacy between filmmaker and star could easily seem oppressive in a different context (for example, if it was a male director) but it is also clear that actors relish working with Denis and feel valued and liberated on her sets.

“There’s a controlled eccentricity and wildness to the way Claire works, where you never really know what’s happening,” Pattinson told IndieWire of his experiences on High Life. “You just turn up and treat each day in and of itself. It was quite fun.” The actor spoke to Little White Lies magazine about the “very sensual way” Denis shoots. “When she looks through a camera there’s this feeling of wanting to touch but being afraid to, and so she uses the camera as her hand.”
