On April 15, 2019, a shocking wave traveled in the world: millions of people attended, calmed down, partially destroying the French inheritance symbol. Notre-Dame de Paris, an emblem monument, is a prey of rare intensity fire. Historical drama, emotionally strong that forever denotes souls.
A few months later, in December, the President of Pathe Jurassed Seidox offered Jean-Jacques to turn this event into a cinematic work, through a spectacular film that was mixed with archives and sounds. Idea: Taking the intensity of this unusual day on the big screen.
The director is skeptical: he suspects that the visual aspect is sufficiently rich in support of the whole movie.
“” “My first reflex is a fear that there are not enough pictures to build a 90 -minute movie, but I listen. I am leaving the documentation cover, articles in French and English. Before I go to bed, I watch“He says.
But reading the documents angered his perception that evening: “I have everything in the middle of the night. Calling was too late or too early, but my decision was made. What I found there was incredible. Charming cascade of discontent, obstacles, dysfunctions. Clean incredible, but true.»
That’s how the Nottri-Dami burned Jean-Jacques Anauud Long time returns to this project and more broadly its career, which is marked by great success, but also with some problems.
He shares an anecdote that is full of self -control: “When I heard a notre-dame fire on the old radio station, my first reflex was to say my wife: “Can you imagine the number of Assholes that are in a hurry to make a movie?” Three years later, Asshole was me!»
The film, which was a tragic fire of the Paris Temple, attracted more than 800,000 spectators in theaters. Honorable points, but which remains below expectations, especially for the filmmaker who is accustomed to larger people.
“” “If the public did not hope that many believed it was a documentary and found that they had already seen everything and learned everything on TV or online, when it was the opposite of a pure race against a suspicious hour where the heroes were firefighters and all its destructive splendors were “there”.»
He reminds him of a strategy error: “Today I believe that we have made a communication mistake in its nature, including perhaps in terms of its name: we have not used the desire and the pleasure of promise.»
To achieve your own idea, notre-dame burns must be found in VOD.
