While I’m Still Breathing
Director: Laure Giappiconi, Elisa Monteil, La Fille Renne
Country: France
While I’m still breathing is the blurred portrayal of a young woman through three steps of her sexuality. In a three movement narrative, the movie depicts the roughness and softness of the journey through a woman’s sexuality. From that little girl inspired by the painted models of Paul Delvaux and Klimt, to her first sensual gestures as a teenager and her experience as a stripper, we gradually see a woman unfold. With great intimacy and sensitivity, she reveals herself through the sensual relationship to her own feminity and to those who once shared her intimacy.
