"Cult actor from the 60s who aroused admiration by his choices and his intense acting, Pierre Clémenti left behind him a remarkable film work. As a genuine artist, rejecting both mainstream carer and stardom that he could have entered owing to his film-star looks, he prefered to get very much involved in working with demanding filmmakers (Bunuel / Bertolucci / Pasolini / Garrel...) as well as directing outstanding fringe films"


"New Old" is a poetic journey through Clémenti's career - visible as an actor, invisible as a filmmaker - and chaotic stray images (some of which would later come to be part of Blue Rascal) shot from the very beginning, exist as multiple superimpositions that form Clémenti's fragmented and intensely personal ruminations on media, art, politics, relationships (Warhol Superstar, Viva features prominently), memory and rock-n-roll.
