Mother Teresa & Me, the intersecting destinies of two women
With Mother Teresa & Me, Swiss-Indian filmmaker Kamal Musale tells the story of two women of conviction in India, past and present.
Colours and melodies - Filmed mostly in India in the format of a large-scale production, the work admirably recreates the atmosphere of the 50s, when the country was in the grip of social unrest leading to a terrible famine. The film also owes much to the accuracy of the tone of its performers and its formal choices. The colours, in particular, help to bring the two women closer together, even though they are far apart in time and space: Mother Teresa first appears in black and white and the young girl in colour, then, at the end, the tones come together in pastels to link the two characters in a surprising way. In addition to these meticulous image aesthetics, the music plays a key role, particularly accompanying Kavita.
BY ANNE-LAURE MARTINETTI
Coco Chanel welcomes world-famous personalities from the worlds of art and politics to her villa ‘Respiro’, where she passionately creates a revolutionary fashion that is still unmistakable today. As a patron, she financed Igor Stravinsky's adaptation of ‘Sacré du Printemps’ and was friends with Dali, Picasso, Modigliani and many other bohemians. She collaborates with the Nazis, is arrested and is only released thanks to her friendship with Winston Churchill. She only drinks champagne in two situations: when she is in love and when she is not! This entertaining and inspiring one-woman play, lasting about an hour, combined with a small exhibition and a champagne aperitif, invites the audience to feel for a moment like a guest in one of Coco Chanel's most famous villas.
This attractive, varied programme is also ideal for company/customer events
