Songs My Brothers Taught Me
La cinéaste sino-américaine Chloé Zhao est en pleine ascension depuis l’obtention du Lion d’or à Venise pour le tout récent Nomadland (2020), son troisième long métrage.

Subtilement, elle renouvelle dans chacun de ses films une mythologie solidement ancrée dans le cinéma américain, où le territoire définit l’espoir de tous, mais aussi l’angoissante infinité des possibles.
