NOT SHE

2005

On a deserted filmset, a young woman investigates the limits of identification with characters on the silver screen. In her reinterpretation, she sometimes succeeds in making herself and us believe that she really has become Giuliana(Monica Vitti) A.(Delphine Seyrig) or Mabel (Gena Rowlands). She then appears as a ‘body double’ of the actresses and the film starts to turn around itself and even to resemble a remake. We also hear fragments of original soundtracks. A film about film and about the relationship between film reality and reality. The film implicitly tries to reflect on cinema and identity and how female identity is constructed in these films.
