Pomme's Ephemeral & Surrealist Masterpiece: "Saisons"
Written & Edited By: Shirley Reynozo  @moyamusic_
Shot By: Down To Be Artsy @DTBA_
Claire Pommet, who goes by Pomme, is a queer French singer and songwriter bringing her ethereal and beautiful sound to her American tour. With a nomination for "Tour of the Year" at Les Victoires de la Musiques (the French GRAMMYs), this is one tour you won't want to miss. 
In addition to  being an award-winning artist, Pomme is also an actress. Known for her intimate and emotional music, Pomme blends her fairy-like daintiness with macabre imagery in her latest film Saisons. I had the pleasure of meeting her in New York while she was show chasing her short films Saisons, le film: hiver and Saisons, le film: printemps, Saisons, le film: automne. 
Pomme has unveiled her fourth album, "Saisons," a modern opera now available in two parts. She revealed the Saisons, le film: hiver and Saisons, le film: printemps, Saisons, le film: automne short films and the full Saisons short film will be released in July. The song “_dec carte de noĂ«l” was co-written with Aaron Dessner (The National, Taylor Swift, Justin Vernon etc).  June stands for the first of three summer tracks that Pomme has chosen to call "perseides", the famous shower of shooting stars that floods the summer sky.
Tumblr media
Pomme's new album, "Saisons," is a stunning orchestral journey through the year. With 12 tracks, three for each season, it captures the essence of every month. This orchestral project showcases her unique artistic vision and invites listeners on a spring-to-winter journey. The album flows seamlessly, inviting listeners to relax and envision their dream cartoon. This musical experience is paired with a 36-minute film, co-directed by Pomme, Hugo Pillard, and Nina Richard. 
Pomme drew inspiration from American advertisements from the 50s and 60s, focusing on the idealized beauty of women and iconic Coca-Cola ads. Her friends brought additional global references, contributing to the project's experimental nature. The lack of traditional transitions added to the film's unique and unpredictable feel.
Saisons is an ephemeral film, released in intervals on YouTube and screened only twice in New York. Pomme, the artist behind this dreamlike project, revealed that a full tour is unlikely due to the high costs of touring with a twenty-two-person orchestra and a lack of support from her label. Nevertheless, Pomme remains dedicated, pushing her beloved project with passion and determination.
Pomme hosted an intimate screening for an exclusive audience of 25. Following the film, attendees were treated to a Q&A session, offering a deeper dive into her creative process and vision.

Q&A
Inside the Dreamlike World of the French Singer Pomme 
What is your favorite season?
“In life I think I love the fall, because it's really magical, but in the movie I really love the summer and the second, and it's not out yet
This one is, it was really intense because I was underwater, and I didn't have a big budget for this film, so we did everything pretty much in fucked up ways. I was just like,underwater, and I had nothing to breathe, I was just trying to stay more than three seconds, and we did that for like five hours. 
So yeah, probably the summer part of the film, and also I love the little Sylvanian like the little animals, they're like really cute, they're Japanese [...] and they are so cute and creepy also, and I love having that a lot in the summer part, they're just like chilling, and doing nothing, and it's really creepy, and yeah, I think the summer, but in life, I love the fall too.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When you wrote the song did you have ideas for the movie?
“I think when I write songs, I always have ideas, and weird images, and everything, and I always like to write stuff down. I also directed a movie with two of my friends and together, the three of us, we added a lot of ideas and some of these ideas were from the beginning of the writing of the songs and then some of them were my friends. 
The fall part is entirely my friend Hugo. I was just like, do the teen horror movie of your dreams. For the summer, I knew that I wanted Sylvanians  and for the winter, I wanted to have that cup monster. 
It's really weird because when I write songs, I have images of really precise stuff. I guess it's also because I've watched a lot of anime movies and movies in general. It was a dream because it allowed me to do all the video clips that I wanted to do in the movie, so I guess I'm not doing any video clips for ten years. 
Now, it's really intense, but yeah, it's a mix of my ideas when I write songs and also some ideas from my friends who co -directed the movie, especially for the full. It's just really experimental, this is just like something that I never thought I would be doing and then I'm really glad I did it. I knew that I wanted images for the whole album from the beginning.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What is the significance of the mustache?
“The mustache in the summer scene - I think I was a bit crazy writing the summer part of the movie, but I wanted to have a subtle conversation about being a boy or being a girl, being fluid, not knowing what you want to be. Those questions that we all ask ourselves, and I just wanted it to be fun, and straightforward. The symbols are not too heavy, it's a soft way to talk about subjects that are important to me, it's a free space to experiment. 
I never got to do this before. In France when you do a video clip, your label wants it to go on TV. This movie, none of it is going on TV. I just wanted to try something new. I wanted this to be about identity. “
Pomme aimed to spark conversations about gender and self-discovery in a fun and straightforward manner. The symbols are kept light to allow for free experimentation. Unlike typical French music videos destined for TV, this film was a space for Pomme to explore themes of identity without constraints.
Tumblr media
How would you describe the genre?
I think the whole album musically doesn't fit any genre musically. It's something else, it’s an opera, it’s french chanson, it’s instrumental, a lot of orchestral parts where I don't sing at all which my label hated. I would love for it to be on TV in France but I don't think it’s possible. But this time I was hoping to do something different and not be in any kind of box.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Are you going to get the whole orchestra parts on tour?
We’re not touring this album because it’s too expensive, there’s twenty-two people in the orchestra. But we did this concert cinema in Montreuil, which is like a suburb of Paris, in April. It was just once, and I don't think we will do it again. I also like that this project is also kind of ephemeral. 
Pomme's Q&A session provided a glimpse into her creative world, revealing her passion for blending music and visuals, pushing artistic boundaries, and exploring deep themes with a playful touch.

Spirit of Ecstasy
Tumblr media
Spirit of Ecstasy    [trailer]
Exploited by her gendarme father and forced to provide for her younger siblings, Jeanne Francoeur looks to make a living in the world of finance.
Jeanne lives in two very different worlds. She tries to enter the cold world of finance professionally, where she confidently discusses volatility assumptions for the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein model. And her home life with her family inside what looks like a military barrack.
Interestingly, both worlds are male dominated. She tries to adapt. Externally and behaviourally. But she doesn't feel entirely at home. At least not yet.
Not entirely sure what the movie wants to say. It's still a compelling watch with a convincing lead.

La Vénus d'argent - Héléna Klotz
Ange déchu
Dans un vibrant Ă©clat de nĂ©ons, au cƓur des tunnels nocturnes reliant la banlieue Ă  La DĂ©fense, Victor Seguin façonne les contours Ă©vanescents de La VĂ©nus d'argent, mĂ©taphore cinĂ©matographique de la cĂ©lĂšbre icĂŽne rollsienne, la Spirit of Ecstasy. Notre vĂ©nus Ă  nous, Jeanne, est incarnĂ©e par l'effervescente Claire Pommet. Elle Ă©merge tel un astre errant, chevauchant un modeste scooter, l'allure libre. Comme Takeshi dans le tunnel hong-kongais de Fallen Angels, elle recherche sa libertĂ©, avec une ambition diffĂ©rente : celle de filer vers les hautes sphĂšres du monde financier parisien.
Tumblr media
TrÚs tristement, et comme un obscur clin d'oeil au titre de Kar-wai, ce grandiose départ à l'esthétique splendide, s'échoue dÚs la quatriÚme coupe du film. Fallen Angel. Cette fracture qui surgit est symptomatique du film entier : de belles idées qui s'effritent sous des choix narratifs superficiels. Jeanne, qui doit se rendre à un entretien d'embauche, brise dans un geste énigmatique les vitrines d'une bijouterie pour s'approprier un modeste costume, une action incongrue face à l'évidence d'une alternative plus plausible. Cette dissonance, telle une rhapsodie absurde, s'étend au-delà, questionnant la crédibilité de chaque acte qui s'égrÚne à l'écran. La toile du récit se déchire ainsi davantage chaque fois que le scénario tente maladroitement d'ériger son arc, se révélant dans un manÚge nauséabond d'incohérences toutes de plus en plus flagrantes.
Cela aurait pu en ĂȘtre tout autrement : le premier geste incompressible de Jeanne aurait presque su s'Ă©vaporer lorsqu'on comprend qu'elle vient du monde d'en-dessous, issue d'une modeste famille logĂ©e dans une caserne de gendarmes. Les fulgurances Ă©lectriques de la finance d'un cĂŽtĂ©, avec ses chiffres interminables, ses hauts-lieux de rencontres et ses dĂ©rives de richesse ; les pĂ©ripĂ©ties terre-Ă -terre de la gendarmerie de l'autre, avec ses immeubles presque dĂ©suets, son monde clos, ses difficultĂ©s, bref, sa rĂ©alitĂ© crue. Et Pomme, incarnant un insouciant mais habile personnage, totalement irrĂ©el et donc cinĂ©matographique Ă  souhait, prĂȘt Ă  en dĂ©coudre. Tout semblait lĂ  rĂ©uni pour sculpter une bĂątisse authentique et habile.
Mais il a fallu rĂ©duire toute l'ambition de cette fondation Ă  nĂ©ant, en Ă©rigeant sans cesse Jeanne au milieu d'Ă©vĂ©nements impossibles, comme cette scĂšne oĂč, fraĂźchement diplĂŽmĂ©e de l'ESCP, et tandis que, stagiaire, elle sert du cafĂ© dans un moyen fond d'investissement, elle façonne subitement un algorithme complexe d'un simple effleurement de doigt. Une symphonie improbable dans l'orchestration des possibles, s'Ă©loignant des rythmes rĂ©alistes de la finance. On pourrait dĂ©fendre que filmer les chiffres n'a jamais Ă©tĂ© chose simple : beaucoup se sont Ă©garĂ©s en chemin. Mais dans Margin Call, une fiction pourtant, le jeune ingĂ©nieur financier qu'incarne Zachary Quinto, au parcours brillant, prend presque une nuit entiĂšre Ă  reprendre les analyses de son chef pour remettre en cause un modĂšle financier complexe. Jeanne, La VĂ©nus d'argent, modestement diplĂŽmĂ©e, trace un algorithme de trading automatisĂ© performant en l'espace de quelques heures.
Bien loin est alors reléguée la promesse initiale, qui s'effiloche à toute vitesse dans les plis d'un scénario fragile, égaré dans les dédales de l'irréalité. C'est d'autant plus triste que l'art cinématographique demeure remarquable de bout en bout : la symétrie des architectures, les faces filmées bord-cadre, et l'opposition flagrante entre artifices grandiose des couleurs du cÎté du monde de la finance, contre réalisme terne du cÎté de la caserne de gendarmes, sont tout autant d'atouts perpétués par un montage lui-aussi correct. Pour faire un film, premiÚrement, une bonne histoire, deuxiÚmement, une bonne histoire, troisiÚmement, une bonne histoire. Jamais la citation de Clouzot n'a semble-t-il aussi bien été illustrée.
Tumblr media
Il faut dire que les veines tentatives d'Ă -cĂŽtĂ© sont aussi bĂąclĂ©es. Jeanne, trop immaculĂ©e dans son aisance, s'Ă©gare dans les mĂ©andres d'une rĂ©alitĂ© qu'elle peine Ă  apprĂ©hender. Son Ă©clat brille, mais ses failles se rĂ©vĂšlent comme autant de constellations voilĂ©es, notamment lors de son inconfortable tentative de sĂ©duction d'une riche hĂ©ritiĂšre pour lever des fonds, Ă©clairant les fractures de son essence. Elle affirme Ă  son boss ĂȘtre non genrĂ©e, comme les chiffres, et condamne dans des pĂ©ripĂ©ties inutiles son ex-compagnon pour l'avoir forcĂ©e Ă  l'acte. Plus tard, le film la fait revenir Ă  ses cĂŽtĂ©s. Par quelle utilitĂ© ? À quoi diable sert ce personnage, sinon Ă  donner Ă  Jeanne la possibilitĂ© de trouver un nouveau regard, alors que le sien est autrement plus pertinent, plus complexe, et plus subtil ?
L'invraisemblance contamine mĂȘme jusqu'aux dĂ©cors mĂȘmes, pourtant somptueux dans leurs Ă©tats. Les opulents lieux filmĂ©s, comme la suite du Shangri-la, ne trouvent pas l'Ă©cho justifiĂ© dans les nuances Ă©voquĂ©es, soulevant des interrogations sur la justesse de la reprĂ©sentation : si le n+1 de Jeanne semble ĂȘtre le grand patron des lieux, la rĂ©alitĂ© le foudroierait en poisson dans une moyenne marre, et il est peu probable qu'un tel homme puisse se loger en permanence dans une suite Ă  20 000 euros la nuit. Mais qu'importe, car La VĂ©nus d'argent semble parfois vouloir s'incarner en illusionniste, vendeuse de Longines alors qu'elle pourrait simplement faire comme tout le monde : continuer Ă  passer des entretiens.
C'est ainsi que la plume d'Helena Klotz, accompagnĂ©e de ses scĂ©naristes Ă©garĂ©s, se perd dans les mĂ©andres de l'incomprĂ©hension du monde de la finance, tachant la puretĂ© du sujet par des Ă©clats d'approximations. Cette lacune, comme une note dissonante, trouble l'harmonie de cette production, tandis que le cinĂ©ma français, dans un bal hĂ©sitant entre conscience et inertie, semble buter sur des thĂ©matiques maladroitement abordĂ©es, entre relations lacunaires et identitĂ©s en quĂȘte de clartĂ©. Critique ou soutien au monde frĂ©nĂ©tique du capital, le plus incroyable est qu'on ne sait pas oĂč se situer, car le film se veut neutre de jugement. Il prĂ©fĂšre initier des idĂ©es sans les approfondir, c'est bien plus confortable.
Un dernier espoir Ă©merge nĂ©anmoins de cette mer d'inconstances : l'apparition Ă©clairĂ©e de Mathieu Amalric en banquier d'affaires offre un contrepoint salvateur. Un Ă©clair de luciditĂ©, parmi les tumultes d'une narration dĂ©faillante, rĂ©sonnant comme une poignĂ©e d'espoir dans ce panorama Ă©clatĂ©. La force indĂ©niable de la camĂ©ra, capturant des entretiens d'embauche d'une surrĂ©aliste vĂ©ritĂ©, Ă©merge comme un Ăźlot de rĂ©alisme dans ce flot d'incohĂ©rences, suscitant une ambiguĂŻtĂ© troublante, reflĂ©tant, peut-ĂȘtre, les tourments de ce monde financier impitoyable.
