How is the actress born and how does she become a director? What bit of an encountered real does the camera – from whichever side – treat? To summon the gaze, to tame it, is to subvert the terrifying aspect it can have when it is too much or when it is not where expected. From this summoning of the gaze, comes rich works, of which Nicole Garcia's most recent film, Un beau dimanche, bears witness, tactfully looking into the secret and the enigma of the real of madness.
