00:00:00: you have to picture, imagine something because suddenly... You are entering this world and these eras.

00:00:06: so we think about it.

00:00:08: We noticed that.

00:00:09: It was very colorful And the colors were strong at those times.

00:00:13: Because they realized for example when went into a museum Museum of First World War You can find all fabrics and colours are crazy.

00:00:21: They're very tense Very brilliant Yes!

00:00:24: Something comes with them.

00:00:25: then we want to change them.

00:00:27: A set also which is colourful to make a contrast with sometimes the darkness of what is happening in it, you know?

00:00:33: And also about painting.

00:00:35: So color will get into your way or another.

00:00:38: so... Color no more!

00:00:40: Art is an important aspect as you said.

00:00:42: and do we have artists that inspired for paintings on film at all?

00:00:46: look of films.

00:00:47: We had to find a painter who would help us imagine what Antoine could paint.

00:00:54: We had think about some people.

00:00:55: I had this idea that painting of Antoine should be painted painting of a drawer first, someone who is good at drawing but not especially at painting.

00:01:02: We started to look for different painters and we found Suzanne Paladron was an artist very interesting woman that was the main inspiration for the paintings on Fontaine.

00:01:12: But also when I speak about art in the movie Pick up the modesty of certain artists or their way they reach you and give this idea, feeling that your part in work.

00:01:31: When she said Gem les œuvres qui font le chacun de nous un artiste I love all pieces made by every one an artist.

00:01:37: It's just a good idea to really like it.

00:01:40: This is a feeling i got first looking at Lubitsch Nuiwitz The idea he was solicitating my intelligence.

00:01:47: He was dancing with me And playing with me.

00:01:49: In fact inviting inside The film was very interesting to me.

00:01:56: In the dialogue, I do a little trick and then try to speak about cinema in another way because this movie is full of my love for cinema And it's filled with all these tools that are precious when you're doing movies.

00:02:15: There's this idea of illusion into illusion That there's much more fiction than delusion Because i'm really interested by that about lying and writing, but you write about writing.

00:02:25: And the importance of fiction!

00:02:30: You find yourself and learn about yourself for your teaching things to fiction.

00:02:34: So there is in this movie my love of fiction a lot because Sometimes I'm even shooting the script.

00:02:41: You can see the script of the movie in the movie.

00:02:44: There is a diary and yeah, i am filming The Diary at the end writing And there are notes when he writes the dialogues.

00:02:51: for Suzanne you Can See the dialogue as she's selling the Dialogue to Antoine.

00:02:55: so it's A lot about that.

00:02:57: In a way the importance Of Fiction and Illusion.

00:02:59: in a Way because illusion cinema this Is the set up extension.

00:03:02: illusion is an Extension in the world of the sprinter.

00:03:05: So It's all About La.

00:03:06: That's important for telling stories.

00:03:08: And why do I choose comedy?

00:03:10: Because this idea that comedy helped us to live and i've said it a lot but believe in that.

00:03:15: I say that comedy is the apology of italics, and this is an apology for movement.

00:03:19: This is the Apology Of Belief!

00:03:20: I speak about a lot about all adults But all adults are just a movement.

00:03:24: These people running chasing each other It's pure art to me.

00:03:28: And they also bring you a baby... I was telling them this The first time I saw bringing up babies Bringing up babies support woman who wants a man This story of women with chasing a male and carry on this chasing the dog.

00:03:40: is chasing a bone pure abstraction.

00:03:42: I think she was suffering from making movie, She's the great actress that she was suffered.

00:03:48: it was too much pressure all the time and she wasn't happy anymore said but i could see her shooting on liberty!

00:03:53: She was suffering in a way...I would suffer because she started to be tough And I think he decided to stop Because she will start until the top.

00:04:00: She'll starting till the top.

00:04:02: I work alot cause..i love to work with you and had this idea.

00:04:05: No !

00:04:05: I was unlucky You know ?

00:04:06: A lot of people died In my life A Lot !

00:04:08: Marie Trantinanda My best This friend, my best friend was a producer.

00:04:11: He died in very tragic... In a very tragic way.

00:04:14: It's called Vincent Meier.

00:04:15: he had this idea of what you do with that.

00:04:18: What did we do?

00:04:18: With the memories!

00:04:20: What does it hold to these people who are used too much?

00:04:22: It is interesting in movies Because they speak a lot about that.

00:04:25: He said, you know I cannot let her go or...I holler at something and the guy said no!

00:04:29: You have to be free.

00:04:30: And so it's a lot of that too.

00:04:32: It is very interesting because then he turned into comedy Cause i love that, i loved comedy.

00:04:38: I met Pio in a festival.

00:04:40: He was much alive Very much alive And we were drinking a lot.

00:04:46: We were having so much fun.

00:04:48: I fell in love with this guy ,it was so funny !

00:04:52: act.

00:04:53: and I said to him we should do because it was drinking stupid, drinking things that way.

00:05:05: a great actor.

00:05:06: I was in the radio, in France and they said what do you think is a great character?

00:05:08: And so my god!

00:05:09: What can i

00:05:10: answer?!

00:05:10: And then I say oh yes...I know what it is.

00:05:12: A great actor is someone who helps you to write.

00:05:14: When I write for Pio It's easier to write.

00:05:16: He has this language.

00:05:17: he has his way of being So suddenly The character Is much more..i Can visualize and i can write easily For him.

00:05:24: that-the way he says to Armand You Know she's there i can picture him when i-when i write.

00:05:28: Well its very interesting.

00:05:29: It uses a symbol Of freedom because They were at This time In this fair.

00:05:34: all the people couldn't do anything else, you know, marginals.

00:05:37: So if you have this kind of living there and that's interesting but... I didn't use it for that.

00:05:43: I used this very practical reason, and i did not want to make a movie about art painting of Seth... ...I wanted to make the film about this woman who finds herself in this situation of betraying someone she loves and manipulating so much love.

00:05:56: So you have these things.

00:05:57: Where is she going to meet Pio?

00:05:59: And why is she close with this caravan?

00:06:02: Why is he there?

00:06:03: She says oh my god!

00:06:03: She could work there..she can be here ..and then I had this idea.

00:06:07: at this time In this fair people were showing new technology you know, and there's science.

00:06:12: There was funny things but also these scenes.

00:06:14: people used to go that have seen the new scene.

00:06:16: so we had this idea of the electric diesel because they wanted a strong female character who is in situation where she cannot handle anymore.

00:06:24: She has such a tough character which is suffering alot And she wants free herself.

00:06:28: The fact about her pain In a way it authorizes or allows her do something immoral not more manipulate Because its such difficult situations.

00:06:39: This is also this idea that lies can be a sign of vitality, or desire to reinvent yourself and escape the place you're in.

00:06:48: So it's interesting for me.

00:06:50: I had that with Audrey Tautou.

00:06:51: she was a shadow.

00:06:52: in all the pre-prices She has these very spectacular beauty but In this one i wanted her to be very terrienne.

00:07:00: And when she was searching... I have an idea.

00:07:05: maybe the fair was somewhere normal And the parents they come there is a little boy here on the shoulder of her father.

00:07:13: There's that girl dancing in front to go to the fair and then they Come back, she's not there.

00:07:16: I had this picture of her being In these kind of tough area like.

00:07:21: suddenly Anais brought A lot of reality.

00:07:24: You're very well-to-do artist.

00:07:27: How do you imagine world of poor artists?

00:07:30: And what experience do you personally maybe have?

00:07:34: I know exactly.

00:07:36: I had kind of experience with that.

00:07:38: When i was eighteen,I started to take art dramatics school at the same time as a machinist.

00:07:47: who treat you know.

00:07:48: and at night ,i met this girl.

00:07:51: she is a painter in fact her name was Irène.

00:07:53: when i was very young i met these girls who took me into Paris where all these people were.

00:08:00: We call that squat, I don't know how you called it.

00:08:02: There was this place called Hôpital Efemer.

00:08:04: It's an ancient hospital in Paris and open to artists And we used to be there all the time when they were painters.

00:08:11: They had people doing clothes.

00:08:13: There was Zoolibet, Lenegras Vert.

00:08:15: All these people are starting here.

00:08:17: This is The Worms!

00:08:19: Through this wonderful girl who introduced me To a guy with the music of the film Camille Basbaz Was on this squat But still

00:08:25: from a middle-class family.

00:08:26: That kinda has your back right?

00:08:28: No, I was in a very... They were not cool.

00:08:32: Father when he- When i was fifteen they decided to go back to Porsica To be a farmer of Fremontine.

00:08:38: So it went back to porsica with my mother and we stayed there always.

00:08:42: It's like a brother and two sisters And had this life.

00:08:46: This is the life that I chose and worked Very early on.

00:08:50: My life very early But you know what do mean?

00:08:53: Its like a fantasy for people.

00:08:57: my life in quite a good way you know because when he worked at night it's double paid and I didn't have this tragic experience, of eating nothing or...I was very lucky but i met people.

00:09:09: And I was interested in people..and This is not my subject!

00:09:13: Im NOT into realistic and very deffinveriste.

00:09:17: I'm not into neo-realism as I told you im very fond of fiction.

00:09:21: that's where I left and thats the people I love.

00:09:23: some of them they had success about that after the idea.

00:09:28: You know, you see someone into someone.

00:09:30: but I was much more in to my love of flow bitch and it's a book resurrection lot.

00:09:36: I don't like writing.

00:09:36: Writing is awful But sometimes you stay hours or days without producing nothing.

00:09:41: And this very destabilization never go too bad quietly still having little bicycle in your hand all the time When I did my outline master.

00:09:53: then when i go for dialogue and adaptation dialogue, it's a bit of better experience.

00:09:58: There is kind of a sweetness in writing the dialogue because right now you start to visualise the film and then when you go everywhere on location And sometime on the set when I'm not showing you anymore, and say what should i do?

00:10:30: I read again the script.

00:10:31: Okay this is her point of view blah blah.

00:10:34: so I start in another way.
