INTERVIEW OF PASCAL BONITZER

Like your other heroes (a philosophy professor, a critic, an editor), Damien is an intellectual.Why do you favor that kind of character?

I know, that is seriously frowned upon. What can I tell you? I am who I am and my movies arealso just a tiny bit about myself, though theyre not autobiographical. Its not that I think Im sointeresting, but it is a way of obtaining a certain sincerity or authenticity, a certain psychologicaltruth.

Why do you make comedies?

Comedy is the tone that comes naturally to me, thats all. Some truism has it that its moredifficult to make comedies than dramas, but I dont feel like that at all. Its what comes eas iest for

me. That doesnt mean that making comedies is the easy way out for me, but derision and humorare what suits me, especially since dialog is an important element of fiction for me. Its a dynamicelement in the plot, and I feel better when that dialog is funny. I need to have a certainlightheartedness, even when addressing very serious issues.

Your work as screenwriter doesnt even hint at that register...

I tried with Jacques Rivette. Hes the one who allowed me to use the whole range of what Iwanted to do in dialog, but when youre a writer you have to adapt to someone elses universe,and the directors with whom I worked with the possible exception of Raoul Ruiz didnt

exactly make comedies.

Would comedies of depression be a fair description?

I dont know, its not for me to say. What I think is that humor itself has a depressed ormasochistic root. Humor is always dark, more or less. My characters go through tribulations, butthose tribulations are always a little silly and they sort of know it. And its a good thing they do,

because otherwise theyd be completely ridiculous.

The musical choice is important from that point of view. Is Alexei Aguis work all about

influencing the tone of the film, taking the edge off those tribulations?

Thats right. Damiens whole life is coming apart, but at a certain point in the collapse he makeshis mind up to regain some control, to get a grip on things. Those two moods, those twomovements needed to be scored, especially the second one as he finally and a little late musterssome courage. Jean-Pierre Bacri is an extraordinary actor, with a very subtle range. He can beextremely funny but there is also something dark about him, so casting him rather than someoneelse was a way of shoring up that darker side of the film. I wanted the music to counter-balancethat, to be sort of catchy. Alexei Agui and I have worked on several films together and he is agreat composer. I hardly have to talk to him, and hes hardly ever around.When hes in France he

lives in the Drme region and he spends half the year in Russia. He immediately grasps exactlywhat the film is all about.


6/24

Damiens wife wants him to make an appeal to authorities on behalf of a young woman whois an illegal immigrant and in danger of being deported. Yet your film is really not apolitical comedy

I did want to address the issue of illegal immigration, and more broadly of national identity data

bases, in my own way. In recent years, identity verification has not only been about appearancesit has sometimes been necessary to prove that ones great-grandparents were indeed born withinFrench borders. I have cosmopolitan roots and this affects me personally. And so ones identity,the one you think you have but which can be questioned by authorities, is a matter of graveconcern to me. During the last presidential term, that issue was famously used in such a way asto well never mind. But its an issue which has a long history in French society. We continue todeport people, and will continue to do so, to put them in detention centers. Besides, identity in thefilm is a multi-level question. It gets addressed sexually as well. What does it mean not only to beFrench rather than an alien, but also homosexual rather than heterosexual? This way ofcategorizing or self-categorizing is, after all, a fairly recent phenomenon. And the last thing is, thestory I tell here is a true story (like they say in American movies). Agns De Sacy, my co-writer,

brought it to the table. The story of someone who loses her immigration papers after getting adivorce and for whom one phone call made by somebody to somebody else could change her life.

It might seem surprising to give the role of the foreigner to Isabelle Carr.

That is quite deliberate. She is perhaps the most French of all our actresses you cant get moreFrench, even her name embodies Frenchness. Well thats me saying, through her, that minoritiesare not always visible, to use a term which has recently been overused. There are also invisible

minorities, whose great dread is becoming visible, and for that reason accused. I must say thatIsabelle did an incredible job, learning Serbo-Croatian with a voice coach, and the dishes sceneshe was improvising, she couldnt stop. Her partner, Stanislas Stanic, is of Croatian origin and heis bilingual. He couldnt get over it. Neither could anyone else. I had to trim the scene, it was toolong, but I really wanted to keep the whole thing.

Another theme of the film is commitment.

Commitment might be overstating it, but Damien has a mission, as in many films, its a classicgear shifter in fiction. That mission, on the surface, doesnt appearto be much of a commitment at

all. My hero is asked to show a tiny bit of courage and to ask his dad, who is a seniorgovernment official, to make a phone call to an important person. And he just cant do it. The taskis confounded by this basic cowardice and made worse by the attending lies and so becomes moreand more difficult. Then finally, the admission of that cowardice, backs him up against a wall.Thats basically the story and the operative comic device.

And love pushes the hero to become a human being?

Its when he figures out that the abstract commitment requested of him actually coincides with thevery real interest he himself has in a young woman he met by accident. He realizes just how he

has hurt that person and he swings into action. And that action though it isnt wildly successfulis at once taking a step toward the young woman and overcoming oneself, a step toward ones


7/24

true self, toward the self-confidence which is the opposite of what society demands of us, which isto conform, to be conformists.

Thats a theme also addressed in Raymond Queneaus novel, Odile

Yes, that novel is one of the screenplays sources. Odilewas a formative influence for me. Its anovel with comic virtues, like all of Queneaus novels, but its also a wonderful story of love andapprenticeship. Damiens speech toward the end of the film, when hes feverish and tells Auroreabout his trip to China, is a hopefully imperceptible and very free adaptation of a passage fromOdile.

Odilesettles some scores regarding the authors recent surrealist past. Does the meeting ofAurore adhere to objective chance?

Objective chance of the surrealists is philosophical bullshit and in his book Queneau makes fun ofit mercilessly. But its very rich poetically. Indeed, in this film as in the others I have made,coincidence and chance encounters play a pivotal role.

The threesome in Queneau, all lovers of mathematics, show up in your film as chessenthusiasts.

They play chess because life is like a chess game. Chess is a maze of plays. Jackie Berroyerscharacter is one part of that maze, an emotional one as it happens, the one which Damien happensto be playing.

Why is China in your movie?

And Japan. Its partly arbitrary. I wanted to bring that exotic element in, the one that colors ouratmosphereAsia is an emerging power, rising, soon to be dominant. And thanks to Agns, Iowe her father, Alain De Sacy (whom I dont know but whom I take this opportunity to thank) thematerial making Damien a specialist in Asian business mentality. Especially that article he alludesto several times in the film, about the role and meaning of smiles. That article exists, it isremarkable. And we used it.

There is also mention made of a Vladimir Nabokov novel, Pnine

Thats the other exotic element in the movie the Eastern European thing. Zorica is Serbian. Ivawants to adapt a short story by Chekhov for the theater. And in my mind the character of Lobatch,

played by Jackie Berroyer, has something Dostoyevskian about him. Lobatch is the apocope of aRussian name, Lobachevski.

That recurrent lineWe will never get done with the Balkans, takes us back to NothingAbout Robert (Rien sur Robert), where Fabrice Luchini is denounced for having writtena negative review of a Serbian film he hadnt seen. Your characters are terrified of getting

caught in the act, in a very private or humiliating position.


8/24

Perhaps. Its surely very personal. Im always terrified, for example, when the editing starts andwe start to put together the elements that were shot and I see them I dont see, I feel like Im

being seen and what I feel in those moments is really horrible, really terrible.

You are interested in psychoanalysis. Can we say your film is Oedipal?

The lack of understanding between father and son, pushed to the level of resentment, is indeedone of the themes in the film. There are two father-son relationships, actually, since Damien is

both son and father, son of Sbastien (Claude Rich) and father to No (Marin). Any story wheresomeone has trouble confronting his father or his son might be considered Freudian. But I dontthink about it in terms of psychoanalysis. Im mainly trying to make it funny, and I hope that it is.

People eat oysters in the film, talk about escargots, and frogs legs, boiled veals head withsauce gribiche

Very French dishes, right? Emblematic of French cuisine. Thats one of the red herrings woventhrough the film, because the one who keeps talking about how much she loves those very Frenchdishes, isnt really quite as French as you might think. And that gets back to what we were sayingabout Isabelle. Its not very important but theres also a sort of mystery, investigation, puzzleelement going on in the background.

There is a struggle between Bacri and Berroyer over a pistol and a shot goes off. You keep itmysterious. For a moment, we wonder if one of them has been shot.

The technique is more general than that. One has to wonder as well, even if its pretty easy toguess, what Iva is doing while this is going on. We dont know what happened to Lobatch, but wedont know where Iva is at two-thirty in the morning, either, when Damien gets home with thegun which was fired.

Why did you choose to co-write the screenplay with Agns De Sacy?

I have one big flaw. I write scenes very quickly, but when it comes to the general story line I tendto get off on tangents, so much so that often I get completely lost. With Agns, I found a verysolid but also very profound writing partner. She never lets up when various strands in the story

need development, whereas I might not be so concerned. Ive known Agns for quite a while,since she was a student at the Femis and I was in charge of the writing department there. But Ireally loved the work she did for filmmakers such as Roschdy Zem or Zabou Breitman. And shenearly saved me, acting as script doctor, on another script which turned out to be an inextricableknot. We really got along well on that one, and we worked pretty fast, as the film came togetherand was shot pretty fastdespite the refusal of most of the networks to get involved.

Oh really? But you do have a very impressive cast.

Which only proves that that is not the main criterion. Some people already think of actors when

they write a script, not me. I didnt think of Jean-Pierre Bacri right off the bat. But he fell in lovewith the character and the script and he took the character over so well, with so much strength,


9/24

enthusiasm, humor and subtlety. That was some meeting, and it has been extended into friendship.But I did think of Kristin, with whom I made Small Cuts (Petites Coupures), pretty early inthe game. And the same goes for Isabelle Carr, whom I liked and admired so much in so manyfilms, notably one in which she and Jean-Pierre play a couple actually, (and in which mydaughter, Agathe, plays their daughter), Feelings (Les Sentiments) directed by Nomie

Lvovsky. She is not just the virtuoso actress we all knowa very rare, very precious innocencecomes off of her.

What were your challenges, as a director?

I wanted it to flow. A comedy demands direction which is not ostentatious in the least. It had to berapid fire. This was the first time that I worked with Romain Winding, whose work I haveadmired for quite a while, the elegance and beauty of his images. And its also my first timeworking in digital, the Alexa in this case, of which Romain is a master. I still have my doubtsabout digital, though I know everyones getting into it and that the 35 mm film will soon be athing of the past. But it lets you work so much faster and in the end the picture is gorgeous. Theleaves, at the end

This is the second time around with producer Sad Ben Sad

But its the first time with him out on his own. When I made the last one, Sad was still in theUGC family. He took a lot of risks by deciding to make this film, even when we had no Frenchnetwork co-producing, and no Canal + for the first time. We had only Jean Labadies(distribution, Le Pacte) enthusiasm for the script. And Orange. We got underwriting grants from

the Ile de France Region and the CNCs advance funding only a few days before shooting began.Its not a costly film, in spite of the cast, but Sad truly had to have a lot of courage and tenacity.Without the Region and the CNC, the financing was more than dodgy.
