Abstract
Claire Denis has always adopted an elliptical or fragmentary approach to narrative filmmaking. One way in which Denis’s cinema operates through a process of suggestion or inference is by creating intertextual echoes between films. This is facilitated through the director’s regular use of a troupe of actors – Grégoire Colin, Alex Descas, Nicolas Duvauchelle, Florence Loiret-Caille, Michel Subor, etc. – such that their roles in one film inevitably bleed disconcertingly into another. In Denis’s more recent work, as her reputation on the global festival circuit has grown, she has increasingly worked with major stars enjoying an international profile. In this way, the spectral narratives or ghostly characters that haunt the director’s later films are drawn more from the well-known filmographies of her stars and indeed Denis often deliberately exploits star personas as a kind of shorthand enabling the creation of a tone in her work.
