Interview: Claire Burger – Real Love (C’est ça l’amour) | 2018 Marrakech Intl. Film Festival

She broke out big as part of a trio of filmmakers with the Camera d’Or winning Party Girl (a film that opened the Un Certain Regard section in Cannes 2014) and for a first solo project in Real Love (C’est ça l’amour), Claire Burger looks how the notion love is expressed in a creative, therapeutic and pragmatic manner. The film swooned Venice’s Giornate Degli Autori section jurors landing her the Director’s Award. I met up with the filmmaker in Marrakech and discussed some of the film’s core themes, subjects (the fragile male ego, healing) and the DNA behind some of the memorable sequences along with where she might be headed next for her third feature. Here is my sit-down.
