Overview
- En nous opens in cinemas on Wednesday, June 3, as Binoche’s first film as director and is reported to run 2 hours and 3 minutes.
- The documentary was edited from roughly 170–200 hours of material shot around the 2007 In‑I project, footage Binoche archived after asking her sister and work cameras to film late performances in 2009.
- Binoche organized the film into two parts: about an hour of raw rehearsal fragments showing physical labor and vulnerability followed by a captured staged performance.
- Acting coach Susan Batson and Binoche emphasize that the film treats movement as communication, showing how bodies carried emotion and shaped the work’s narrative without words.
- In promotion Binoche discussed recent industry rows, saying she regretted the boos at Cannes and the use of the word “fasciste” in an anti‑Bolloré petition but defended artists’ solidarity, and critics are noting the film’s rare access to creative process which could influence how performance work is filmed and understood.
