Marion HÁ¤nsel has
practically been fascinated by clouds all her life. While travelling and
shooting, not only has she observed but she has also filmed them. So it came to
her mind the idea of a film to make the audience dream. Clouds can evoke
elementary images, but can also arouse emotions. An example are the Romantic
clouds with their pink, purple or red shades, their reflections in the water or
their rain load. Leaving temporarily fiction for this documentary, the authoress
deals with the shapes and sounds suggested by any kind of vapours. Rhythm is
provided by the letters that Marion has written to her son since his
conception, love letters, soft touches full of joy and tenderness.Nuages has been made in several versions, using
world-famous actresses who gave their voice to the letters according to the
country where the film would be distributed: Catherine Deneuve for France,
Carmen Maura for Spain, Charlotte Rampling for Great Britain, Antja de Boer for
Holland, Barbara Auer for Germany. The music has been composed by famous
Michael Galasso.
