ELLE A PASSÉ TANT D'HEURES SOUS LES SUNLIGHTS (1985) 137'
Description
"For Philippe Garrel nothing exists but the image, the beauty of the image, the inner movement of the image: an art that brings us back to the great dream of silent film, capable of combining the virtues of music and painting, all in pleasure, in secret delight. There are four actors, two men (Lou Castel and Jacques Bonnaffé) and two women (Anne Wiazemsky and Mireille Perrier), plus two (filmmakers Chantal Akerman and Jacques Doillon), plus the absent ones, the history of cinema yesterday and today (Andy Warhol, Jean Eustache, Jean-Luc Godard expressly cited, but also Dreyer, Bresson, all the others since Méliès)."
— Louis Marcorelles, Le Monde
"Garrel frequently returns to exploring the passage between art and life, as befits a filmmaker for whom the two are inextricably intertwined. Here, the relationship between a young filmmaker and his subject (the sunlights of the title referring to the lights on a film set) is refracted through a mise en abîme as well as through a series of troubling dreams."
