à Mains nues

Statut

Creation in 2006

After the wonderful Solo (2004), Thierry Knauff throws a new bridge between dance and cinema. Freely inspired by a text of Joseph Noiret and a choreography of his daughter Michèle Noiret, à Mains Nues is a film-poem of a singular beauty. With shadow and light for partners, Michèle Noiret approachs, fears and confronts herself with worlds borns from her own dance.

…

Diziness of movement and pleasure of pure cinema are gathered for the time of a film in a commin fluidity. The one of some dreams. Fruit of the meeting of a cineast and a choreographer, à Mains Nues is not the captation of a performance but an original creation for the screen. For this film, dancer's partner is her own father, poet Joseph Noiret, co-founder of Cobra.

Among the rare meetings of dance and the silver screen, the films ‘Solo’ and ‘à Mains Nues’ form an exceptional diptych, fashioned with the finesse and generosity of an authentic perspective.”
