The modesty of Franck Dubosc
« We asked for extras who were used to being in swingers’ clubs so we had to slow them down, after a while it goes all the way », Explains the director, to the laughter of the journalist and his columnists.
For this film, the director also shot a love scene in a car. He explained in the press kit that this sequence had perhaps made him even more uncomfortable. “ And then when I saw the rushes, I told myself that I had gained a little weight… Indeed, my modesty forbids me from fully directing these scenes. Those of the swingers club were however necessary for me since these places are part of the reality that I was looking for. However, I now know that it is much easier for me to direct an actor who has to kill someone than a couple who are making love. »
