Paris Chausey (1975)

You can, in fact, trace my life through my films. The first one was called Paris Chausey -- a love story about an island. I was desperate to find a place where I could breathe, and at the time I was completely under Godard’s influence -- I needed to break free from it. And to escape an influence, it’s important to take it as far as your admiration goes: it’s wonderful to admire a writer or a filmmaker, to watch all their films, to fall asleep with their book, but in the end, it suffocates you. My first film was my way of breaking out of the Nouvelle Vague that had shaped my childhood, when I spent all my nights and days at the Cinémathèque.
