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.
00:31And it equalized them,
00:34and they arrived, they were in the same tone.
00:37From their first meeting,
00:39all the charm of the film is set.
00:41The harmony of opposites invades the screen.
00:59Oh! I'm writing. I'm sorry.
01:01OK. No, no. Sure, no, that's OK.
01:03I just have, you know, this is...
01:06Oh, hey! Take care of them.
01:08Jesus.
01:10I just trusted him and let him be my guide
01:13and did what he asked me to do,
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.
