Excerpts broadcast:

  • The trailer for the French erotic film Emmanuelle (1974), directed by Just Jaeckin from a screenplay by Jean-Louis Richard based on the eponymous novel by Emmanuelle Arsan, starring Sylvia Kristel in the title role, Alain Cuny, Marika Green and Christine Boisson.

  • Director Claude Chabrol speaking to Christian Defaye in 1976 on RTS
  • Director Eric Rochant speaks to Olivia Gesbert about the relationship between truth and reality during the Culture Masterclasses in 2018. It was with him that Audrey Diwan took her first screenwriting lessons.
  • The movie Parasite (2019) directed by Bong Joon-ho, which Audrey Diwan went to see when editing her film The Event (2021). It was the same Bong Joon-ho who presented Audrey Diwan with the Golden Lion won for this film at the 78th Venice Film Festival.

Guest’s musical choice:
Audrey Diwan makes us listen Before there was the world (2021) by the group Feu! Chatterton, a song she listened to a lot during the filming of her film, and whose lyrics “My blood has remained cold / My heart does not beat any faster” resonated with Emmanuelle.

Guest Discovery:
Audrey Diwan recently discovered the film at the Butte Video Club The Swimmer (1968) directed by Frank Perry from a screenplay by his wife, Eleanor Perry. She describes it as “a great portrait of masculinity that deconstructs itself”.
