Claire Mathon, AFC, looks back at her choices in shooting Alain Guiraudie’s "Miséricorde” By Céline Bozon, AFC, and Hélène de Roux
Conversations with cinematographers at Cannes 2024
“You’re not taking the road tonight?”, and now that Jérémie’s stay in his childhood village, where he’s come to attend the funeral of his former boss, lasts longer than expected. As he wanders the autumn forest in search of porcini mushrooms and pays incongruous visits to his childhood friends, he weaves a web of desires and frustrations whose threads seem to escape him. For their third film together, after L’Inconnu du lac and Rester vertical, Alain Guiraudie and Claire Mathon plunge us back into a film noir whose exploration is infinite, and whose astonished faces will mark us for a long time to come.
