00:00For this film, which resonates with his personal wounds,

00:04Michel has managed to embark two stars with very different game registers.

00:08Kate Winslet, the romantic heroine of Titanic,

00:12and Jim Carrey, the king of comedy.

00:15To equalize the two, I didn't talk to them at the same time,

00:18I took Jim aside and I told him,

00:20listen, it's not a comic scene at all, it's super serious,

00:23and I went to see Kate and I told her,

00:26listen, it's not serious at all, it's really,

00:28come on, give it your all, it's really a comic scene.

00:34and they arrived, they were in the same tone.

01:06Oh, hey! Take care of them.

01:15and he would always say to me,

01:17I love this thing you do, this crazy little dance, do that again.

01:20And I was like, Michel, I didn't do that for the camera.

01:23And he's like, no, I love it, just do it in this scene.

01:26You're not supposed to be crying.

01:28Fuck that. Go on, do it. Excuse me.

01:32With this second Hollywood film,

01:34it's the consecration for the French.
