LA CICATRICE INTÉRIEURE

La cicatrice interiore / The Inner Scar

Film in ‘first person singular masculine’ with Pierre Clementi, the father, Nico, the mother, and Balthazar Clementi, the son. A love movie for Nico? “Do not ask questions”, explains Garrel, “look at it for pleasure, how pleasant it can be to venture into the desert, to listen to Nico (in Desertshore), to admire a circular tracking shot, the strange landscapes, the distressing silence, the pained cries, the search for an unlikely and uncertain absolute”.
