MEINE SCHÖNE INNERE SONNE

Isabelle (Juliette Binoche) is a painter living in Paris, single, and searching for love – the kind that stays. What she finds are men: the banker Vincent, who treats her condescendingly, an actor who cannot make up his mind, her former partner François. Every encounter begins with hope and ends in conversations that go in circles. In “Un beau soleil intérieur” (France 2017), Claire Denis tells of a woman who will not be talked out of her longing.

The film was made after Roland Barthes’ “A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments”, with the screenplay written by Denis together with the writer Christine Angot. It premiered in the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs in Cannes in 2017, where it won the Prix SACD; Binoche was nominated for the European Film Award and the César. In 2017, “Un beau soleil intérieur” was shown at Around the World in 14 Films in Berlin in the French Night section.

Shown at the 2017 edition of Around the World in 14 Films.
