In 2004 Lucile Hadzihalilovic won the New Directors award with Innocence. The film starred Marion Cotillard and established the director as one of the most promising up-and-coming filmmakers in French cinema. However, her latest film, Evolution, presented yesterday in the Official Section, has taken her eleven years to make. “When I presented Innocence I was aware that it was a difficult film given that it was abstract and contemplative. I thought that Evolution, which on paper was more narrative-based than my previous film, wasn’t going to give me so many headaches when it came to trying to find funding, but I was wrong. Working in an imaginary, metaphorical realm , far removed from realism, meant that more than one producers told me they had reservations about it, so in the end I had to shoot the film with a lower budget than planned, with a script that was more concise than the one I had at the start of the project.”
