Claire Denis was interviewed by TroisCouleurs (France) and below are the excerpts that mention Rob. Not surprised that Claire has joined us in our obsession with Rob.  Welcome to the club Claire [Note: translation via Google – click on the link above to read the full interview – remember it contains ***SPOILERS***]:

The idea of ​​the taboo arrives very quickly: from the beginning, the hero explains to the baby that the man is not supposed to eat his excrement, giving birth to them. 
When he explains that, it’s like he already knows what’s going to happen. He tells the baby “   it’s a taboo   ”, knowing that it will be broken, because it will be broken.

When the movie was screened in September at the Toronto festival, there was nausea and fainting. Do you think it is related to the representation of fluids (sperm, breast milk, blood …)?
Robert Pattinson showed me these reactions on Twitter. Even so, people are borderline … I am very worried about this regression. In the scene that has shocked some people, the character of Juliette Binoche is a priestess in the hands of her husband. ]. I thought it was enough in the second degree so people would not faint or vomit. [Maria: I see you Rob and your secret Twitter]

Claire Denis talks with the Film Society of Lincoln Center about teaming with Robert Pattinson, how filmmaking doubts help her stay fresh as a director, and meeting Hong Sangsoo at last year’s New York Film Festival.

Rob surprised us all with a new red carpet style at the U.S. premiere of “High Life” at the New York Film Festival.

Rob chatted with Amber Wilkinson of EyeForFilm.co.uk about the challenges and rewards of “High Life” at the film’s European premiere at San Sebastian Film Festival. We’ve shared a couple of excerpts from the interview, including the challenges of casting a baby. You can read the interview in its entirety HERE.

“The night before, I was trying to bond with these kids for two-and-a-half hours and the only way I could make them even slightly happy was to pretend to be a monster. They weren’t even happy, they would just stop crying for one second and scream instead. I was like, ‘This is not going to work, unless you want to have an entire movie with a baby that’s looking absolutely terrified.’ So we cast Scarlett, who’s one of my best friend’s kids like the night before we started shooting and, so, I didn’t want to be horrible to her because she’s my friend’s kid.”

“As for the less mainstream nature of his more recent films, he says: “I don’t feel like I’m ‘properly’ arthouse – these are big names. I don’t feel like I’m trying to be super-obscure.”

“I think most super-commercial movies, generally the directors have only done TV commercials before or they are random people. With mainstream movies, I feel like I’ve seen them all before. The amount of scripts you get that are quite formulaic and I don’t know what the point is.” 

Holy moly
