Fascinating, beautifully shot piece on the work of French singer Jeanne Balibar. We see her performing and rehearsing...in both French and English. Shot in stark, heavily shadowed B/W which gave an artistic look to the film.
She seemed to have infinite patience in rehearsals...we watch her being interrupted every few seconds by the director of a farcical musical...she never reacts...just tries to follow his instructions.
The film gives us a strong sense of how hard this woman works to create a finished performance...which to the eventual audience seems effortless and smooth. The film is a valued addition to our understanding of the creative process.
