Ne Change Rien is about the work, the mix of inspiration and hard labor that performers draw on from moment to moment, an alchemical event that cinema rarely shows.

Pedro Costa’s second attempt at a traditional documentary, this film focuses on the French singer Jeanne Balibar, a rigorous portrait of her creative process shot in shadowy black and white. Her intense devotion to her craft is highlighted, as she rehearses, performs, records, and practices.

What are critics saying?
Call it the Passion of Jeanne: Accompanied for much of the movie by a single reverb-heavy guitar and a snare drum, Balibar demonstrates a carefully calibrated lack of affect and a voice as smoky as a carton of Gitanes.
By the end, you feel curiously closer to the performer and her process without having any clue how you got there. It's exhilarating.
Balibar's dreamy voice (I'm reminded of Billie Holiday) is complemented by Costa's hypnotic camera work. The result is a visual and aural delight.
