NE CHANGE RIEN (Pedro Costa, 2009)





"Although people sometimes act like they think so, a singer is not like a saxophone. If you don't sound right, you can't go out and get some new reeds, split them just right. A singer is only a voice, and a voice is completely dependent on the body God gave you. When you walk out there and open your mouth, you never know what's going to happen."

Billie Holiday, Lady Sings the Blues.












There is now an entry for Pedro Costa's latest film Ne change rien at pedro-costa.net . The entry includes a synopsis, photos, biographies/ filmographies, and notes on singing and cinema by Jeanne Balibar. Ne change rien is to premiere at The Director's Fortnight, Cannes, this Friday the 15th of May.

David Phelps and I wrote about this from Cannes, and I'll hopefully be publishing an interview with Costa end of this week or beginning of the next...
