Ecco la nostra intervista a Lukas Dhont, rilasciata in occasione dell'uscita in sala di Close, il suo secondo film distribuito da Lucky Red e al cinema dal 4 gennaio 2023.
Trascrizione
00:00È un piacere di te conoscere, mi piace davvero il tuo primo film film, Girl, e mi piace anche Clos.
00:10Lo che ho trovato interessante è che i personaggi hanno toccato problemi e conflitti.
00:17Quindi, inizialmente, mi piacerebbe di spiegare,
00:22Cosa ci sono interessati in esplorare con il tuo film, estetico e tematico?
00:29Credo che i due film che abbiamo fatto fino ad ora
00:34sono due volte un personaggio che inizia un corpo
00:41che in società già viene con un set di regole, aspettazioni e codi di comportamento
00:48solo perché del corpo o del genere che erano con.
00:54E io credo che questo è il cuore dei pezzi.
01:00E io credo che sono molto interessati in tutte le meccaniche
01:05che succedono all'interno di noi all'interno di noi
01:08quando passiamo per la vita.
01:10E io credo che portare un camera sull'interno di un personaggio
01:17e potremente fatto in cui rendere il nostro corpo
01:19e potremmo, come un'interno di un'interno di un personaggio
01:22che potremmo diventa più di tutto ciò che ci sono stati e anche per noi
01:28agli altri presi del suo spazio in questo mondo.
01:33I feel like the violence of wanting to conform to a group at that age,
01:40wanting to belong to many, instead of wanting to belong to yourself,
01:46is something that I have felt, is something that I have lived
01:52and is something that I try to express on a screen.
01:57I read that Close is based on your personal experience when you were young.
02:07So my question is, how much is difficult or maybe easy to write about feelings that you felt,
02:15but that everything felt about childhood, about loss, about grief?
02:21Well, I think I start as a writer, I start from a very personal place,
02:27something that first of all feels important to me.
02:30I was someone who at a young age started to fear intimacy
02:35and started to push people away and keep people at a distance
02:38that I didn't necessarily want to keep at that distance.
02:42So that is the personal part.
02:45But then, as I write, along the way, I try to leave the strictly personal behind
02:53to try to phrase it in a universal way.
02:56And I think that that idea of keeping people at a distance, of fearing intimacy,
03:04it's something that we have all felt to a certain degree.
03:07We have all been in friendships or connections that have changed because of time
03:14or because of the things that we did or the others did.
03:18And often they come with heartbreak that doesn't always get that expression on screen.
03:29Heartbreak is often linked to romantic relationships, but it's not often linked to friendship.
03:34So I feel like that was really something that I tried to, that we tried to put on a screen,
03:39is that idea of heartbreak linked to friendship.
03:43Then also, I mean, of course, we have all lost to a certain degree.
03:49And so the idea of grief, but also considering grief through the child's gaze,
03:55through the perspective of a young person experiencing the world for the first time,
03:59felt like an important topic to show.
04:06So I think I try to find ways in order to be able to speak of all of us
04:14without ever losing this personal importance.
04:18And I'm curious about how you decide the shot in a color,
04:25starting from the color costume department, the movement of the camera.
04:31So how will you build your movie from an aesthetically point of view?
04:37I think I'm, you know, the very first artist that I ever saw at work was my mother.
04:44She was a teacher, but in her free time she painted.
04:48And so I was sitting next to her a lot of the times watching her paint
04:52and seeing how she used color and light in order to show something,
04:59in order to transform something, in order to escape reality.
05:04So I feel like in the work that we make there is this confrontation between that,
05:11between the search of beauty and this sort of expressionistic use of color and light.
05:17And on the other side, a very authentic, realistic approach of working with actors
05:24and showing situations.
05:26I went to a film school that combined documentary and fiction.
05:29And so I feel like that correlation between reality and fiction is something
05:36that also became really a part of the cinematic universe that we try to create.
05:42And I love to think of color as symbols.
05:48I love to think as light to express something.
05:52And so I always look for ways to aestheticize reality,
05:59but also look for authenticness in a sort of realistic approach with the actors.
06:06So there is this balance between the two that I feel has become incredibly signature to our language that we work in.
06:17Thank you for your time.
06:18Thank you.
06:19Thank you.
