Where did the idea for this story come from? Male prostitution is rarely shown in the cinema, or only in a toned down way. I wanted to create a narrative using the East-West relationship but by avoiding the economic and political aspects and focusing instead on the psychological and cultural impact, the effects of civilization, […]

Quand Catherine Breillat vous a-t-elle parlé de ce projet ? Depuis au moins dix ans, elle souhaitait faire un film avec moi. Nous avons évoqué plusieurs projets, et puis il y a eu Romance.

Elle fait preuve d’une sorte de poésie mythique et mystique qui me touche. Lorsqu’elle m’a donné à lire ce scénario, une phrase m’a particulièrement marquée, mon personnage dit : « Je veux être […]

After writing books, launching magazines, nightclubs and restaurants, why make a first film ? You mean "why make my first film at an age when I should be making my last?" Because I am living my life all over the place and I try to do my best with the cards that fate has dealt […]

FROM STAGE TO SCREEN Did you see "Death and the Maiden" on stage ? No. When I was first sent the text, Ariel Dorfman’s play was on at the Royal Court Upstairs in London, where it was a big hit. It then transferred to the main theatre and the West End before finally being staged […]

You’re one of France’s youngest and most renowned TV reporters. What made you want to tackle a fiction film ? In fact, it’s the opposite. I wanted to make movies before I started working as a reporter. Some people enter the movie business through advertising, writing or working as assistants, I did it through journalism. […]
