Director’s Biography:
Daniel Hoesl found his way to cinema through Gilles Deleuze’s philosophical books on cinema. His early influences can be found in the works of Alain Resnais, Marguerite Duras and Alain Robbe-Grillet. UN GRAN CASINO film is a very personal one for the director, a film like his own brain, this chirping machine. Torn between apocalypse and revolution, a spiral of thought in a time when nothing seems possible except apocalypse or revolution. Rien ne va plus?
