MORE DE VAN

Since IN MY SKIN, De Van has worked on television projects and directed her second feature film DON'T LOOK BACK (2009).  The film marks a major development in De Van's career.  First, rather than appearing before the camera, De Van casts two highly commercial and internationally known actresses:  Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau.  Second, the film debuted on a massive international stage:  the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.  The film deals with many similar issues as IN MY SKIN:  identity, perception, and alienation.  De Van is currently working on a television film.

"DON'T LOOK BACK begins promisingly. Seemingly obsessed with surfaces, the camera restlessly searches for hints and clues among the fragments we see, even before we know there's a mystery."

The film made it abroad through IFC's On Demand in a special section called Midnight Movies.  It is currently available on Netflix Instant Streaming.
