Portrait of filmmaker Pierre Creton, at home in Normandy, during the preparation of his feature film “The Prince”
Dominique Auvray
"I was born in La Rochelle, on the Atlantic coast in 1950. A bachelor's degree in philosophy and then Paris, a degree in English at the Sorbonne and a school for interpreters and translators.
And immediately after, cinema, full time. As a script girl but very little and as an assistant editor.
Cinema, that happened when I was 15. There was a boy in La Rochelle that I really liked and who only liked cinema. So I liked cinema. That's it.
He came to Paris to do IDHEC, I came too.
Cinémathèque all day long, so much so that I saw some black and white films in color.
So cinema and meetings, Benoît Jacquot, Philippe Garrel, Marguerite Duras, Barbet Schroeder.
And later Claire Denis and Wim Wenders. And later still Vincent Dieutre, Nobuhiro Suwa and Pedro Costa.
I'll summarize.
Beautiful films that I enjoyed editing, Le Camion, Les Mendiants, Liberté La Nuit, Koko le gorille qui parle, S'en fout la mort, Fragments sur la grâce, Un Couple Parfait, Casa de lava, La Chambre de Vanda.
And also Thomas Bauer, Valérie Jouve, Arnold Pasquier, Valérie Massadian, Yto Barrada, Nicolas Cilins and Pierre Thoretton.
One day, I also wanted to make a film. To talk about Marguerite Duras, my friend. I made Marguerite tel qu'en elle-même.
And I just finished another film about her, Duras and cinema.
No, I'm not a monomaniac, it's more by chance.
What I really want is to make my own Japanese film.
And also continue to edit other people's films."
