Clouds of Sils Maria

When Maria Enders was 18 years old, she played brilliantly in the play MalojaSnake, which was her debut. Now, when she is at the peak of her fame, the actress receives an offer to play a role in this play again, albeit a different character. If in her youth she played Singrid, a young girl who drove the woman Yelena to suicide, now she is asked to play the last one. Young Jo-Ann Ellis, an arrogant and selfish girl, acts as a partner. The contract is signed, but after some time, Maria begins to doubt that this project will end well for her. Read more Principal photography began at the end of August 2013 and lasted until November 4. The team worked in Switzerland, Italy, Zurich, Germany and Leipzig. More specifically, the location shooting of the village of Sils-Maria took place in Zurich. The real settlement is in the Alps, at an altitude of 1,800 meters above sea level. The Chanel brand acted as producers and financial tycoons of the tape. This fact helped a lot during the creation, as the company provided the creators with some outfits, jewelry for actresses and actors, and in addition, makeup. In addition, Chanel tracked down Olivier Assayas to shoot the film on 35mm film. It was a personal dream of the director that the film was shot in this format, and not on digital cameras. The very idea for the script was submitted by Juliet Binoche. She came to Olivier Assayas and talked about the details and he liked it, and after a while he put everything on paper. Kristin Stewart was the first to be offered the role of the friend of the heroine Juliet Binoche. When she refused, the role was offered to Mia Wasikowska, but Stewart later signed the contract. The drama "Zils-Maria" was shown in the framework of some film festivals, including Cannes, New York and the festival in Toronto.
