00:07For this film, which resonates with his personal wounds,

00:11Michel managed to embark two stars with very different game registers.

00:15Kate Winslet, the romantic heroine of Titanic,

00:19and Jim Carrey, the king of comedy.

00:22To equalize the two, I didn't talk to them at the same time,

00:25I took Jim aside and said,

00:27it's not a comic scene at all, it's super serious.

00:30And I went to see Kate and I told her,

00:33it's not serious at all, it's really a comic scene.

00:38And it equalized them, they arrived, they were in the same tone.

00:45From their first meeting, all the charm of the film is set.

00:48The harmony of opposites invades the screen.

00:57Oh, hi.

00:59OK, if I sit closer?

01:01I have some stuff that I probably should...

01:07Oh, I'm writing. I'm sorry.

01:09No, no. Sure, no.

01:11I just have, you know, this is...

01:14Oh, hey. Take care then.

01:16Jesus.

01:18I just trusted him and let him be my guide

01:21and did what he asked me to do

01:23and he would always say to me,

01:25I love this thing you do, this crazy little dance.

01:27Do that again.

01:28And I was like, Michelle, I didn't do that for the camera.

01:30And he's like, no, I love it, just do it in this scene.

01:32I'd be like, but she's supposed to be crying.

01:34Fuck that, go on, do it.

01:36Excuse me.

01:38With this second Hollywood film,

01:40it's the consecration for the French.
