Life as it Happens | In Conversation with Arnaud Desplechin | MUBI

An interview with the French director of ISMAEL'S GHOSTS in Cannes, May 2017. For more on the film, see our full festival coverage here: http://mubi.io/2qH54Mz Drawing from a vast array of references, Desplechin weaves together stories and fragments of stories that shift to and fro with wild abandon. Here, Ismaël Vuillard (a recurring character name in Desplechin’s filmography), an aging filmmaker played by longtime collaborator Mathieu Amalric, provides the ostensible center. An espionage thriller—which turns out to be a film-within-a-film—kicks things off, following Louis Garrel as Ivan Dedalus as a fictionalized version of Ismael’s own brother, a diplomat (or possibly spy). A man with “an unlikely face” and “an atypical trajectory,” he goes through the world, lost and inward, Garrel’s features and close-cropped hair giving the character an unreadable exterior. But the main thread emerges when Ismael’s former wife Carlotta Bloom (Marion Cotillard), who had been missing for over 21 years (and declared legally dead), unexpectedly returns to find he and his lover of two years, Sylvia (Charlotte Gainsbourg) vacationing in a beach-house. 30 Days of Great Cinema Free: https://mubi.com/youtube Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://mubi.io/2XVL0VN Follow us on Instagram: http://mubi.tv/299eJ7G Follow us on Twitter: http://mubi.tv/1PcdRyO Follow us on Facebook: http://mubi.tv/29adiHj
