Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine was in charge of her show C to you on France 5. This Wednesday, November 13, she received Gilles Lellouche, his producers and Élodie Bouchez to talk about Love Phewhis film which was released in cinemas on October 16 and which has attracted 4 million admissions. “Every day, it's a treat, a joy. It's quite magical because I receive messages, testimonies from teenagers, but also from my generation (…) It's beautiful“, reacted Gilles Lellouche on the success of his film. Élodie Bouchez, who plays the mother “magnetic” by Clotaire, also gave her opinion. “What I liked, my 16 year old son also tells me that there is something incredible happening… It's a life, a time without networks, without telephones, we call each other in the cabins telephone calls, we offer each other records (…) and that, I believe that for them, it represents something very tangible and quite unique” she said.
Gilles Lellouche: this scene that he shot in a single take for his film phew love
In the rest of the show, Mohamed Bouhafsi spoke about a moment in the film that shocked him, “one of the most tender and powerful scenes” in which Élodie Bouchez plays and which she did in one take. “Where did you get this emotion?“ the columnist asked him. To which she replied: “In writing, sincerely. You know Gilles, when you have good equipment, everything becomes quite easy. We only did one take, I trusted you. He told me: ‘On l’a’. I tell him: 'Are you sure?' You told me yes. And then there it is. It's all that, it's the look, it's how you are accompanied, how you are carried and then there it is, how you dream of a character that you are reading and this scene, I had dreamed it like that“.
“I'm obviously a little emotional because these are words“
Gilles Lellouche was moved to see the sequence in question again. “When you write dialogues, the dialogues are music that looks at you, that concerns you, that is internal music. Élodie's music is another music and it's an extra layer of soul (…) From the moment it's there, I'm obviously a little emotional because these are my words (…) I need to look at others so that my choice is validated. Obviously, the scene is there, it is magnificently good, there is no need to make a second one“, he commented before specifying that he is “quite rare” to do only one take in the cinema.
