Biography
Claire Denis spent her childhood in colonial Africa. In France she began studying economics and then moved over to the IDHEC film school. She worked as assistant director for Jacques Rivette, Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch.
She debuted in 1988 with Chocolat, screened in the main competition at Cannes. Karlovy Vary audiences had a chance to see I Can't Sleep (J'ai pas sommeil, 1994), Nenette and Boni (1996), awarded the Golden Leopard at the Locarno IFF, 35 Shots of Rum (2008) and White Material (2009). The Berlinale screened the film Good Work (Beau travail, 1999). Czech audiences are also familiar with her erotic horror tale Trouble Every Day (2001) and the series of film vignettes Ten Minutes Older: The Cello (2002), for which she created the segment "Towards Nancy" ("Vers Nancy").
The later films Bastards (Les Salauds, 2013) and Let the Sunshine In (2017) were premiered at Cannes.
