Unlike Gérard Depardieu, I can only picture a select few A-level French actresses who would be up to the challenge of working with someone such as Bruno Dumont and his emotionally devastating texts. It'll be a first for him (he usually works with non-pros) and in an odd karma alignment, Binoche is playing the same role that Isabelle Adjani played in 1988's titular Camille Claudel. Adjani's co-star was Depardieu. Binoche will kick butt.
At the beginning of every month, IONCINEMA.com's "Tracking Shot" features a handful of projects that are moments away from lensing and that we feel are worth signaling out. This June, we are keeping tabs on nine projects including the untitled, aka The Master from master filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.
I think at a point in his filmography [five pictures in with The Life of Jesus (1997), Humanity (1999), Twentynine Palms (2003), Flanders (2006), Hadewijch (2009)] any film studies prof could dedicate a semester to the deconstructing the works of filmmaker/philosopher Bruno Dumont. His sixth pic appears to be the polar opposite of his 2009 picture about one's submission to religion and we should expect to see common Dumont traits of violence and seclusion in natural surroundings appear to impregnate his discourse once again.
