Patrice Toye
Have you ever felt the desire to have a second life? Have you ever thought of the possibility of vanishing from earth? I have. Probably many of us have these thoughts.
Sometimes, I look back onto my life and all the decisions I’ve made. And like most people, I wonder if that’s all there is to it? If this is as good as it gets? Wouldn’t it be nice to still have all the options open, like when we were young? Nowhere Man is about this powerful issue (…).
Nowhere Man is a probing meditation on human fragility, the search for one’s own identity. It is a mysterious and compelling story about existential romance.
After my highly emotional and realistic drama Rosie, I wanted to explore new frontiers in storytelling. Michelangelo Antonioni has been an important cinematographic influence for me. He made me appreciate and understand human loneliness and isolation in ways that few artists have done.(…)
This story has a distinct life of its own, its own structure. Trying to explain would kill the mystery. Just make this journey.
Patrice Toye studied film at the St Lucas Institute in Brussels, from which she graduated in 1990. She proceeded to make several short films, documentaries and television programmes.
Her debut feature Rosie was released in 1998 and received great commercial and critical acclaim internationally. It was distributed in the USA, France and Japan amongst many other countries and was selected and awarded at prestigious festivals worldwide.
In 2005 she directed the television film Gezocht: man that was screened at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
Nowhere Man, which has already been awarded the Sundance / NHK International Filmmakers Prize, is personally supported by Wim Wenders.
