In “Close” , which will see her reunite with producer Tirso Diaz-Jares, she will focus on the Cavallini sisters: identical twins now in their nineties. She admits that the trilogy wasn’t exactly planned. “I was writing a fiction film about my sister and me,” Alvarez tells. “One day I noticed these two ladies. Months later, I saw them again. I discovered they were twins, and that they never married or had kids because of their decision to perform together as pianists.
As a director, Alvarez is open to chance and coincidence—indeed, it was one of the subjects of “ Las Cinéphilas” who introduced her to the book club shown in “Le Temps Perdu,” which has been meeting in a small bar since 2001 to read Marcel Proust’s epic novel “In Search of Lost Time.” “When she told me about it, I went: ‘It has nothing to do with cinema, but let’s take a look.’” She was hooked straight away. “Everything they said during that first meeting ended up in the film,” she recalls.
Alvarez delighted in showing a community that has formed over the years, with its members finding refuge in their well-established routine. But with the pandemic putting a stop to their meetings something else changed as well, as they had to say goodbye to their favorite bar.
