On October 15, the DGA Special Projects Committee’s Global Cinema Series gave the DGA theatre audience in Los Angeles a taste of France in the form of a screening of director Philippe Claudel’s I’ve Loved You So Long (Il Y A Longtemps Que Je T’Aime).
An official selection at the 2008 Berlin, Telluride and Toronto Film Festivals, I’ve Loved You So Long explores the subject of redemption and whether or not a crime is truly unforgivable. It follows tale of a woman named Juliette (Kristin Scott Thomas), who attempts to slowly readjust to society and her family after serving fifteen years in prison for committing a terrible crime.
After the screening, Claudel discussed the making of his feature with Global Cinema Sub-Committee Co-Chair Chuck Workman.
