In February in Berlin to present Siberia, Abel Ferrara and Willem Dafoe ended up in quarantine. What should they do? Make a film, of course. Produced by Saint Laurent, this new chapter of the Self project is a fascinating cinematic work, a brilliant essay on the art of documenting reality.
“I’m not into psychology, I just think about the next move.” In the wake of the promotion of his latest film at the Berlinale, Ferrara found himself in quarantine. In front of the camera, he claims that “Sportin’ Life is a documentary about making a documentary.” At the invitation of Saint Laurent for the multidisciplinary project Self, this introspective movie drops the act. Abel Ferrara? No Limit!
