The atmosphere on Frioul, just off the coast of Marseille, was so intense.  The dry, chalky texture of the sandstone, the light air, the succulents and arid plants growing between rocks, the dust trailing down winding paths.  When I was there a couple of weeks ago, I felt a really strong connection to the landscape, so earthy and free.  For the next film I make, which I'm going to make about a very specific mountain landscape, I want it to be silent and so visually tuned in to the atmosphere of the landscape that it goes beyond simple representation.
