The coming of the future: is everything true in Cédric Klapisch's film?

The coming of the future, what is the true of the false? Cédric Klapisch's new film summons characters that have really existed like Monet. But is the film fed by real facts? We asked him the question: “There are a lot of real things because the Salon des Impressionntes, everything that is told about it is true. Even if the scene that tells it is a bit surreal. There are a lot of real things about Nadar, on Claude Monet.

The only false thing, I would say is that in my knowledge, neither Nadar nor Monet had an illegitimate child. So I say that there is a descendants of people from an illegitimate child. So that is wrong. This is entirely false and it is entirely invented. On the other hand, everything that is said about people is quite documented.

It is false which is at the service of the real!

And to add: “I want us to ask questions about what was true. That is to say that when I am showing Monet painting the raising sun impression, I try to be the closest the truth of that moment. The other false thing is that I say that there is someone in his room, when in a priori, he was alone. He's going to talk to him a little about what he is living. So, it's false that is really at the service of the real.“”

In the documentary “Cédric Klapisch in the time of the Impressionists”, broadcast on Canal+ and Available on the MyCanal platformbehind the scenes of filming of the film are shown, accompanied by interview, in particular of Cédric Klapisch himself.

This extract answers, among other things, to the question of the true of the false: “ILya this sentence of Picasso that I like. He says: 'Art is a lie that achieves the truth '. Cinema, painting is to find the right lie! So I tried to lie well, to make a good story, to make a fiction to account for a reality.

The coming of the future is currently in the cinema.
