It’s official: Neue Baron designed by Frank Hemmekam in 2013 will be the font of choice for According To Her’s poster. It’s all about the letter R, with its strangely twisted and still pure line. A letter that makes you think about Soviet fonts, and by extension Russia, but just as a light afterthought. Such a great design. Thank you, Frank, for your talent and your generosity.

Red carpet + Q&A
Press conference – IFFI 2016
Load of Indian press both online and on prints, among others you can read articles in the Sakal Times and Pandolin. We also got mentions in Goa News, The Prokeraia, Digital Goa, Yashnews, and one interview of Estelle Artus in The Peackock.
Swamped by the audience reaction to her debut feature film According to Her at the 47th International Film Festival of India, French-born film director and screenwriter, Estelle Artus, was quite relieved as she confessed that she didn’t know what to expect from an Indian audience prior to the screening. “I was not sure whether the audience here would relate to my film,” she said, addressing the audience and fielding questions on her film, which is running in the International Competition category at the festival.
Contrary to Artus’s fears, According to Her was a complete winner with respect to its universal appeal, delving into the life of a successful pianist Veronica, who happily gives up her career to embrace motherhood and raise her son.

If you want to learn why ‘According to Her’ is polemical and how Renoir’s ‘Rules of the Game’ inspired Estelle Artus read this full interview.
Veronica is a bit like the character of Jurieu in Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game: she is the outsider, the one who disturbs a social microcosm. More than everything else, it’s the language that makes her foreign. This is why I choose to have three languages in the film. Renoir also took risks when he gave its lead role to Nora Gregor. He chose her because of her accent (she was Austrian). In According to her, Veronica speaking Russian to her son is ‘what separates’. What ‘brings together or separates’ is at the core of my film. Of course it echoes what I saw not so much in New York, but in France, where segregation is a matter of culture and language more than in any other country in the world.
According to Her at The Movie DB.
As we watch Veronica’s emotional threads unravel, we witness a tale of a woman in conflict, torn between practicing her art, bonding with her child, and pleasing those around her. It’s an impossible task, one that weighs heavily on this story’s protagonist and causes the viewer to reflect on her own life choices in a deep thought-provoking way.

“According to Her” showcases outstanding performances and is packed with rich visual and emotional details.
Filipe Freitas in Alway Good Movies read more here!
Watching it, I discovered a wonderful sensation that I seldom experience in films. It’s one of being a complete outsider in a world in which you are deeply immersed. It’s a feeling that no matter what you’ve done, no matter where you are, you are not of that place.
Read Chris Garcia‘s full review in According to Her in Klaus at Gun Point.
A lot of people don’t realize how much in the dark a director is at the beginning of filming. It’s like sailing by night in high seas, you don’t see anything and everybody relies on you. What makes a director is not that he or she gives direction, it’s the ability to step in the dark and find a path while giving others a feeling of security.
Estelle Artus interview in Agnes Films.
Being in upper class New York, our characters are destined for success. Our heroine is expected to be a mother while maintaining a brilliant musical career and her slim figure. Motherhood can and should be greatly assisted by nannies and boarding schools, while the physical and financial expectations are impossible to avoid.
