Adoro a delicadeza da luz no vestido, os detalhes do tecido da roupa e do lenço dos cabelos. Os ombros algo descaídos acentuam certa fragilidade e acanhamento. Ela tem um olhar esperançoso e apreensivo, talvez pela conhecida infidelidade do marido.

Vi o quadro no Museu do Prado, enquanto apresentava meu filme durante o festival Documenta Madrid. “A falta que me faz” era minha condessa. Foi inesquecível ver o retrato de Goya.

 
 
 
The Countess of Chinchón was nineteen years old and four months pregnant. Goya painted her alone, in a room, on a dark background with no decorative elements. She takes her husband’s portrait in the ring, and her hands gently touch her womb.

 
I love the subtlety of the light on the dress, the details of the fabric of the clothes and of her hair scarf. The shoulders, something slumpy, accentuate a certain fragility  of her expression. She has a hopeful and apprehensive gaze, perhaps motivated by the knowledge  of her husband’s infidelity.
I saw the painting in the Prado Museum, while presenting my film during the festival Documenta Madrid. “Like water through stone” was my Countess. It was most precious to see the portrait of Goya.

I was finally able to sort out some images of Nyon, during the Festival Vison du Réel.

I wanted to put on the record a big thank you to Jenny Bileter, who accompanied me, who was the mediator in the debates and wrote a beautiful text about my movies. And above all she is one of those persons that, on the very first meeting, becomes a longtime friend.
