Who You Think I Am
When Claire (Juliette Binoche) creates a Facebook profile for a 24-year-old alter ego, her plans veer into uncharted territory, leading to a dizzying game of mirrors between the real and the virtual in Safy Nebbou’s ingenious adaptation of Camille Laurens’s best-seller.
Q&A with Safy Nebbou on March 6
Update: Juliette Binoche is no longer able to attend the Q&A on March 6, but we’re delighted to share that she has recorded an introduction exclusively for Rendez-Vous with French Cinema audiences. See more details here.
Juliette Binoche balances impulsiveness, determination, and vulnerability as only she can in Who You Think I Am, Safy Nebbou’s follow-up to her survivalist drama In the Forest of Siberia (Rendez-Vous, 2017). Heartbroken after a breakup with her twentysomething boyfriend, philosophy professor Claire (Binoche) longs to stay close to him. On Facebook, she adds her ex’s good friend Alex (François Civil) so that she can browse though his tagged photos; yet to hide her identity, she uses a profile for a 24-year-old alter ego named Clara. When Alex messages her—and she begins responding as Clara—Claire’s plans veer into uncharted territory. In this ingenious adaptation of Camille Laurens’s best-seller, Nebbou turns a romantic comedy premise into a dizzying and dangerous game of mirrors between the real and the virtual. A Cohen Media Group release.
