Philippe Grandrieux

A serial killer stalks a woman he befriended after her car broke down.

A handheld video camera explores image-surfaces as a visual collective unconscious: a TV screen, Polaroids, photos. A conceptually and formally compelling film about the idea of change, the loss of a revolution, the defying memory of the 70s decade.

After returning to Paris, a heartbroken man searching for his missing lover finds solace, and a passionate but troubled love, with a grieving nurse. This unconventional romance unfolds against a backdrop of music and defies expectations, venturing into uncharted emotional territory.

Inspired by the dominant motif of the novel by the great Austrian writer Adalbert Stifter, "L’Arrière-saison" is a diptych about roses.

A week after the Dayton accords, Phillipe Grandrieux visits Sarajevo accompanied by Sada, a Bosnian who is returning home after four years of exile.

The first in a planned series of films about radical filmmakers by film critic Nicole Brenez and filmmaker Philippe Grandrieux, It May Be That Beauty Has Strengthened Our Resolve is a portrait of Masao Adachi, who emerged during the Japanese New Wave of the 1960s as a screenwriter for Nagisa Oshima and Koji Wakamatsu, and directed a series of avant-garde films that grafted radical politics to the sexploitation genre. A 1971 visit to a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) training camp while on the way back from Cannes resulted in Adachi's most infamous film, the agit-prop documentary Red Army/PFLP: Declaration of World War, which he co-directed with Wakamatsu. Soon after, Adachi joined a splinter cell of the Japanese Red Army in Lebanon, where he stayed from 1974 until he was deported to Japan in 1997 to serve time for passport violations.

A young American drifts through a decaying Eastern European city, where his fixation on an elusive woman pulls him deeper into an underworld fueled by possession.

An evocation of the period from 1900 to 1914, which was marked by an optimism and a faith in progress that the beginning of the war came to destroy brutally.

Unrest is the third movement of a triptych by Philippe Grandrieux whose common thread is anxiety. A body as a return from the depths of time, an archaic body that we do not know and which nevertheless continues to project in us its shadow, its anxiety.

In the second part of the trilogy on anxiety (in continuation of White Epilepsy), the only light source that reflects on the screen is the naked human body. Its surface, full of bones and muscles, flexes and vibrates in a frantic rhythm. The livelier the reflection, the deeper a viewer feels his/her mortality, as he recognizes between the convulsions the forces he/she cannot control.
