Review of Nenette and Boni (1997) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 31 Dec 2006
Claire Denis, born in French Africa, is a director who seems drawn to stories about characters who want to build families out of unconventional elements. With Nenette et Boni, she makes a more delicate film.
She feels affection for the characters, especially Boni, and is very familiar with them. Maybe that's why she feels free to tell the story so indirectly.
