This Monday, January 27, TF1 and Netflix tried to make a big challenge by adapting all the blue skies, Melissa and Costa’s bestseller, published in 2019. Screenwriter Claire Lemchal has got a hard task on the 840 -page novel in the television movie for just 90 minutes.
So he had to make a lot of choice, which he didn’t like at the original book lovers. Flashbacks that made it possible for Emile (Hugo Becker) and Joanne (Camille Lou) to understand the past, for example, deleted.
But if Claire Lemarchal had many wounds in this dense love story, she also allowed to add some scenes here and there. In particular, the sequence that has worked a lot when reading the scenario of Melissa da Costa.
There is no karaoke scene
In the second half of the television movie, before Joan and Emily are gradually falling in love, they find themselves in a karaoke bar. Without his knowledge, Emil registered them for the song You will forget meLaruso’s mythical song, which clearly echoes Emily’s disease.
If Joan refuses to go to the stage, his travel companion goes out and starts singing. But before the sound system stops, it joins it and they start singing in the chapel.
A scene that does not exist in a novel and which has bothered Melissa and Costa a lot because she has persuaded the press -liter, organized to spread all blue skies on TF1.
The scene that scared Melissa and Costa
The author, who was entirely trusted by Claire Lemchal, for the work of adapting his work, was still in doubt when reading the script. “” “There are plenty of things to make a movie. In the beginning, I only had a clerry scenario and had a vague idea of what he was going to do“He explained.
“” “But in the scenario, there are no faces, there are no actors play, there are no emotions, no music, nor all light games. There is a scene that I was scared, it was karaoke. I found that this scene was the opposite The sky all over the blue.“
“In the novel, they are conscious of drinking green tea. But I told myself that Claire seemed to feel the case, so I trusted her. Until I see the movie, I was very scared of this scene.
For the first time watching a television movie, Melissa and Costa quickly changed her mind. “” “This scene is excellent. For my mother she is the most beautiful scene in the movie. The whole team, whether it be actors, music or lights, made it successful.
“There are other fictional scenes that are among the most beauties in the television film. For example, Christmas, where one of the characters told Joan.
“And it was a suggestion that everyone was touched. It shows that when you understand the spirit of the novel”
