"Folie Priv�e", a Belgian movie, At the Arenberg Cinema, Queen's gallery.

Playing tonight: "Folie Priv�e", a Belgian movie.

At the Arenberg Cinema, Queen's gallery.

Good evening, "Folie Priv�e", a Belgian movie,

at the Arenberg Cinema, Queen's gallery.

Let's switch back.

You can't work both on a movie and get unemployment benefits.

Listen, I've tried everything to get a job. I don't knowwhat more to do.

I've been applying for funding for three years.

I understand. But, you've made a movie,

you worked on this movie while you were receiving benefits...

You can't do that. - But that's howmy job works!

I have to showproducers what I can do so that later they trust me

and give me a contract.

So, you made this movie.

You got money, you got paid for it?

No, I wasn't paid. - Listen, sir.

I don't have to believe you, I don't knowyou.

With all due respect, I don't know of any jobs without a contract.

If you haven't found a job in seven months,

we'll have to stop benefit payments.

I'm sorry, that's howit goes...

When will you just fuck me?

Fab, I can't take it anymore.

You've been saying you're tired for the last six months.

Where are you going? Wait!

Stay here. Tell me what's wrong.

I don't know.

I can't manage. - I don't understand. Manage what?

I don't want to be the guy who says "not with me".

What do you mean "not with me"? What are you talking about?

In ten years' time, I won't be able to manage.

But manage what?

I don't know.

I don't want you to blame me. - Blame you for what?

For that.

For not managing.

Excuse me, what does "holiday" mean?

When you can't come to sign on, you write "holiday",

except for Sundays.

Why do they call it "holiday"?

You're entitled to 24 days off a year.

So for each day, you put an H, for holiday.

But as I don't work, I'm always on holiday anyway!

It's just the word you use. H for Holiday.

Except for Sundays. - Right.

Hello.

There you go, sir. - Bye!

Fran�ois? - Hi, Fabrizio.

How are you doing? - Fine.

I've been better, but I'm fine.

Four years unemployed, and howmuch more?

Just to tell your sad little stories which are boring anyway.

But I'm happy now.

Two days ago, I woke up and said "That's it. You're done. Move on."

I want to work now.

No more wanking off.

Four years is enough wanking.

So, what are you going to do? - I'm going to work.

Anything!

I'll even sell vegetables.

I just want to feel useful.

Do something,

be a part of things. Not just a wanker!

Wait here.

Hello, how's it going? - Fine, and you?

Fine. And? -Well, today...

First showing, three tickets sold.

Three? - Yes.

See you tomorrow?

Thank you. - Bye.

Three? - Three.

Last night it was fifteen.

I do what I can with the means I have.

We don't have much money for the promotion...

That's your job, you're the producer!

Even if we had a million posters,

we wouldn't have a big audience for a film like this one.

It's a difficult movie...

Say that once more, and it's all over.

There are no difficult or easy movies!

Movies are either good or bad, they're either right or wrong!

Fabrizio, calm down please, it's no use.

Just stop!

What do we do now?

Stop!

This is perfect. - Go on!

Mind the glue!

You've spilled the glue! Be careful.

Not the small ones, the big ones!

Not too low.

Is this ok? - It's fine!

I was on the pill when we first met.

Then I wanted to change contraceptives

as I was afraid of putting on weight and I couldn't quit smoking

and that's a bad combination for your heath.

He reacted really... violently,

with excess, I couldn't understand.

You really were...

violent, remember?

I don't want to become a father by accident.

Do you realise what you're saying?

As if I...

That's the problem.

You don't trust me.

How can you think that I would play you a dirty trick?

If you don't trust me, how can we go on?

At least I said so, didn't I?

Maybe you could explain?

I'm not ready for kids. -Who's speaking of kids?

Do I ask you for kids?

I never asked for kids, ok?

Who's speaking about kids here?

Nobody!

Not once I asked for kids!

What should we do?

Call it off because one day, maybe I'll want some hypothetical kids?

You're ok?

You're ok?

Sorry!

You didn't hurt yourself?

Take it easy.

Yes, he's hurt.

You're ok? What's wrong?

I don't feel good.

I don't feel good...

You're going to be sick?

You have to do something.

You have to do something. Wake up!

Wake up!

We have to do something.

We have to do something, starting now. I'm dying here.

Let's make a movie! -A show!

Let's make a show! - You can be the lead!

I'll give you the part of your life!

Really?

Then you can be the director!

Let's start right now!

Right here! - Here's where it happens!

You're my witnesses: I'm making a movie with this guy!

Hi there, you want to make a movie with us?

This is the director, not bad, huh?

Hello sir, will you be my witness? - Do you want to be an actor?

Thanks.

You don't look good, Fabrizio.

I think I need to make a movie.

Would you be up for it again?

I'd love to,

but...

all my money went into "Folie priv�e".

Everything.

I can't afford to start anything new.

Sorry, I just can't.

What's the most difficult thing in life?

I don't know. What a question!

What's the most difficult thing in life?

Being consistent.

Are you saying this for me?

I don't look serious? Is that it?

I think it's making money.

What? - I think it's making money.

And for you?

It's love!

And being consistent.

Do you want to be in my movie? - You make movies?

Yeah.

What are you doing later?

I think you should go home.

It's not right. - Yes it is. It's a movie.

And a movie is a story: it starts here and it ends there.

And between there are challenges. - That's a clich�!

Maybe it is but it's understandable!

What you want to say is too complex. - But life is complex!

But you're talking about everything:

about yourself, about the others and you mix everything.

No one will understand, my mother wouldn't get it!

What I want is this:

this guy is down, he can't take any more.

His girlfriend dumped him, it's over,

he's unemployed, loaded with problems.

He doesn't knowwhere to go, he wants to make a movie

but no one will give him money.

He's down and when no one thinks he'll ever make it...

it's like Rambo: he begins to move, opens his eyes,

he's hurt everywhere, he's bleeding,

he starts sewing up his wounds, he puts on his bandana.

He grabs his gun and his knife,

jumps up ans says: "Nowl want to make a movie anyway!"

Hi, Fabrizio.

Kris, haven't you forgotten something?

You have to pick Jacoba up from school.

You're going to be late.

And then Jef from the day-nursery.

Ok, I'm off. - Hurry up.

I'm going.

You also promised you'd cook.

I'm off...

Do you have any money?

You see? - Yeah, yeah.

I'm going to pick up the kids and do some shopping.

I'll be right back, wait for me here.

Long time no see! How are you?

Good.

I heard you have a son now.

Congratulations.

What's his name? -Jef.

That's pretty. It's a nice name.

And you're ok? - Fine.

I'll have a beer. - Sure.

Do you want one too? - Yes.

A bottle is fine.

You knowher?

Here you go.

Is your offer still on?

What offer? - Don't you remember?

What you suggested the other day.

Remember? - Yes, yes.

It's still on then?

Yes of course.

Because if it's okay I'd like to try.

I've never acted, I'm not an actress...

but I wouldn't mind trying.

Yes, that's great! - Great.

When are you shooting?

In two months' time. - Two months, already?

Ok.

I'll go and clear some tables.

What shooting is this?

Our movie.

Our movie? Whose movie, what movie?

What movie? Well, our movie!

Our film? - Yes.

Yours, mine and hers.

Mariet, she's not an actress.

She's called Mariet? - Yes.

So you're promising everyone they'll make a movie.

Not everyone. I promised Mariet.

Yeah, so everyone.

And you're also in it?

You're an actor, aren't you?

I am an actor.

Yes I am.

But you knowmore than I do, Mariet, more than me.

He has to be in your movie.

Yes. Of course.

Why not?

Well, we really liked your movie and would like to help you

but you'll have to explain things because we've never done this before.

There's always a first time!

Have you already produced something?

No. Well, we've done some theatre.

I've produced a one-man showfor Cedric.

It wasn't bad.

But do you know anything about movie producing?

No, but we can learn. We're interested,

and later we can figure out which way to go.

Maybe it would be good to give an idea

of the story, the plot...

What we want to say.

It's the story of a filmmaker who's unemployed.

He's having trouble with his girlfriend,

and when they break up he decides to write a movie.

And while he's working on it he meets a waitress and falls in love.

So we're using real life and...

...writing it into the script. - Right.

We're up for it. - Sure.

I'll need 10.000 Euros.

That's a minimum.

Like for "Folie priv�e".

That cost us 10.000 Euros.

Do you think it's possible?

Anything's possible. - It's just about hard work.

Do you have any money?

No, not right now.

But we can find some, no problem.

Hello.

How are you? - Fine. You?

Hello. - Catherine, this is Jean-Benoit.

The baby already sleeps through the night.

That's great.

How are you? - Fine, and you?

So what are you up to?

Well, I'm writing a movie. I'm shooting in March.

Really? - Yeah.

But I don't have a sound team yet. -Well...

You're all in movies?

I'm up for it! - Do you still have your equipment?

I have my console.

Because right now, honestly...

Will you manage with your baby? - Yes.

That way they'll get out, see people.

So what are the terms? - There's no money.

That's ok.

At least I'll get out, see some people. Great!

Well...

I have nothing better to do so...

...great.

So call us then.

Bye.

Good luck!

How are you? - Fine, you?

I've brought you the script.

You're Els.

I'll read it then.

Do you want a beer? - No thanks.

A coke? Some water? - No.

I'm off. Bye.

Bye.

Welcome everybody.

I admit I'm a bit nervous as...

Sorry for being late. - It's ok.

This is Mariet who plays the character the filmmaker falls in love with.

You're very pretty. - Thanks.

Can I continue? - Yes, sure.

So I'll start with a surprise:

at the moment we don't have any money to make this movie.

But we'll probably find some

so I hoped everybody is ready to get involved in this project.

But right now, we can't pay anyone, that's howit stands.

But will we get contracts?

Well, that seems a bit complicated without money...

Because if we don't have a contract we have to ask for permission

to do voluntary work.

Because, I think most for us are unemployed

and if there is an inspection we would lose our benefit payments.

So I don't mind working for free, I've done it before

but I can't afford to lose my benefits, they're what I live on.

It's really important. - I had to point that out.

Dirk will take care of that, he'll find out what to do

and keep you posted. Let's let him finish first.

Just some practicalities.

We start shooting in a month, so quite soon,

and we'll be shooting for five weeks. - Oh that's fine then!

This is Jean-Benoit, we met at our local council

and as he wasn't working I asked him to help out with set organization.

You have to give it a try!

Well, thanks for your van. I'm also lending equipment so...

Welcome to Jean-Benoit.

I've read the script...

and it's ok. It's starting to develop

but...

I'm worried about Mariet.

At first I didn't realize but...

she's taking on importance, too much importance.

Are you jealous or what?

No, I'm...

I'm worried. I'm starting to believe in this.

We're putting together something that will work, I'm sure of it.

We're a whole team, everything's on course and I'm afraid we're heading...

for a fall just because you're in love.

Everything isn't about professional actors!

The greatest filmmakers have made outstanding movies

with non-professional actors so don't start...

Howpretentious! - Hey, take it easy!

Typical of actors!

Do you need a degree to be an actor now?

I can't believe it.

I can't talk to you anymore.

If I was pretentious,

I wouldn't be here,

I would never have worked with you.

Just be careful with what you say.

The only thing I'm saying is

I don't want to be there when it all goes wrong.

That's it.

So we all moved to Brussels a fewyears ago

and nowl live here with Christof and Carl.

In the same house, picture that!

And where are you from? - Immigrants from Limburg.

West Flanders.

Where's that? - Sounds exotic!

She's from Antwerp.

Merksplaats in the North of Belgium.

Come on, guys, it's party time!

What's this?

You're talking about us?

Are you kidding?

You're making a movie about us, is that it?

You want me to play myself?

It's only a movie.

You'd play the part

of the director's girlfriend. - No kidding!

So, are you interested or not? - Do you mind?

Can I have a second to look at the script?

A lot of actresses would be interested in this part, you know.

You're crazy!

We're going to go mad.

We can't do this, we'd go mad! We only just broke up.

Listen... -We know each other, we'll go mad.

We'll drive each other up the walls, that's for sure.

Listen, I suggested this because for me it's not an issue.

This script is only one truth, it's my truth.

Exactly! If I agree, lt'll be to check you're not telling rubbish.

I never said it like that! "When will you just fuck me?"

I'm not that coarse!

Stop screaming! - I'm not screaming!

I never said it like that! - Ok, so what...

See what I'm afraid of. - Stop screaming! Are you insane?

I'm not screaming, you are. You're screaming.

See, that's exactly what I'm afraid of:

That you'll make me look like a slut! - I'm not making you look like a slut.

I'm not coarse like that! "When will you just fuck me?"

I would never say it like that, I never said that. You're making it all up!

Ok, keep your voice down! - I'm not raising my voice.

So what would you say? - I don't knowwhat I'd say.

She could say:

"When are we going to fuck?"

She wouldn't say "me", "fuck me",

she'd include him, she wouldn't castrate him that way.

No, that's not right! He's terrified because he can't take her.

Why? I don't know.

It's normal that she wants to be fucked.

Not "to be fucked"! - Stop screaming!

Not to be fucked, she doesn't just want to be taken by any...

Ok, I get it! - No you don't get it, listen to me!

You're playing on words! -We have to play on words.

Not with anybody, she wants to make love to the man she loves.

She would never... "to be fucked", really!

Keep your voice down please. - No one's listening anyway.

Ok so she wants her man... - She wants her man to fuck her,

she doesn't want to fuck just any guy.

So we agree!

It's normal. Her man hasn't fucked her for ages.

We agree, that's what I said.

Ok, so I think you've all read the script.

I'm waiting for your criticisms, your comments.

I'm just listening to what you have to say.

I'll try not to make any comments.

So please don't be afraid...

to comment, to criticize...

because it will help me progress.

I don't know...

It seems a bit long to me.

I don't think it'll work like this.

There's a lot to read, I haven't finished it yet.

It's too long. But that's not the biggest issue right now.

For me, the main problem with this script

as it is now...

is that the main character, whom we followthroughout,

doesn't attract sympathy, we end up disliking him.

I think there's a risk he'll be perceived as a...

...middle-class brat who's making a movie on a whim.

Just to chat up a girl in a bar. - That's right.

There's a risk people will think

he's just making a movie to chat up girls in bars.

The real issue is: what difference does the movie make?

But Fran�ois, he's not making the movie alone.

He rounds up people to help him.

By himself he's not productive.

Why are we all around this table right now?

To make a movie. It's the same story.

Together we are productive.

Well, there's a risk around this table too.

I have also a question, not quite the same.

When I read the script I really wondered who it was aimed at,

who you were making the movie for.

With all due respect, I wonder whether it wasn't

the typical narcissistic vision of a filmmaker

writing about his own movie.

So what I'd like to knowis who it's for, will people be interested

and what your personal interest is, what it means to you.

Would you wonder about what making furniture means to a carpenter?

But Fabrizio...

I'm just asking.

A carpenter makes furniture for people to store their stuff.

And that's it. - Then what?

Well, a filmmaker must also make movies in which people can store stuff.

So, is there room in this movie for people's stuff? That's the question.

Well, if I may, I don't have much experience,

as we already told you it's the first time we're producing

but when I first read the script, I was really touched.

So I think it's universal and...

...we have a good story that can appeal to anyone.

I just find it moving.

It's also about work, finding a job.

Right, I think it hits the right note.

It's about a guy who is in search of something.

But making a movie isn't your average job.

Ok, let's hear... Anne.

Well, the scenes I'm in,

they're not finished yet, and I'd like to know...

...howthey'll turn out...

I'd like to have some input, to have a say in them.

I'll just say this once, then we can move on,

but it's also about us, our intimacy,

which is a delicate matter,

so I'd like...

...to work on them with you.

No problem. -And something else.

My character is called Anne,

I want it changed, I need a bit of distance,

of perspective.

I want us to put some distance between this and real life events.

But this isn't real life, this is fiction,

a fictional script with fictional characters.

So let's cut short this business about real life.

But all your characters are inspired by real people!

You can't deny you're speaking about your own life.

We're still just talking here, we're not shooting yet

and now's the time to sort this out.

You're playing with fire, Fab.

Now deal with it. -And it's deliberate!

I don't deny that this story is inspired by real life,

a certain version of truth... - It's almost therapeutic.

That's got nothing to do with it. Nothing.

This movie isn't a therapy.

I'm asking for comments about the script: what's there,

what's missing maybe, what still has to be polished.

You all received the script, I just want comments about what you've read.

You want comments about what we've read

but what's written is strangely similar to our own lives,

so we have to talk about that!

What do you expect?

That's what makes it interesting.

Writing is autobiographical. You can't help that.

What's interesting is that it's about a certain reality, our reality.

What this movie asks is: Is life a movie?

Is this character's life a movie?

Is his life interesting enough to make a movie?

Is life in general? If you put a camera here,

does it make a movie? Not necessarily. That's the risk.

So this guy pulls out his director's card

to hit on the little...

That's the risk. - Listen, I'll read what I've written.

You said we could express ourselves, so here you are.

"Who does this guy think he is? He's uptight, spoilt, gay in denial.

What kind of a self-centred macho pervert is this?

It's like bad TV, he takes everything for granted.

And what about his girlfriend, what happens to Anne?

He never thinks of that.

And he's going to hurt Mariet too,

he's going to make her bitter, put out her fire, like he did to Anne!

He's living in a fantasy. He thinks he's ideal, a prince charming

who's going to rescue her from her evil bar, is that it?

Is that all he's got, to hit on a girl?"

Who are these guys, who think we're princesses,

who have us then dump us?!

You can just tell he's going to ruin her.

Maybe I'm a bit extreme and oversensitive right nowbut let me finish!

Women always end up being crutches for men!

And talent doesn't excuse everything!

I'm sorry but it's true!

We're not going to make another movie about that.

Are you having problems with Jean-Claude? - I'm fine.

So they weren't kidding about artistic sensibility, then...

Do you want anything?

It will be fine. - I'm sorry, Fab, but...

You know, your movie will be fine.

I think so.

And if you need help with the script, I'm here.

Really.

For the scenes in Flemish for instance.

Really, Fran�ois, this is the ideal place to find extras.

You don't need real unemployed people to play people on the dole.

Of course you do. -What does it change?

It could be embarrassing. - No, it isn't.

Asking people on the dole to play themselves for no money!

I do it, why shouldn't they?

Forcing them together like that, like animals in the zoo...

That's not the point.

We could get anyone... - No, not anyone.

Why? Do I look unemployed? - You are unemployed!

Yes but I don't necessarily look it, it's not written across my face.

You look more like a cop.

Come on, ask them. - No way!

Make a speech. - No.

Excuse me.

Hello, my name is Fabrizio,

I'm an unemployed filmmaker and currently working on a movie

and I need extras to play people queueing up for their dole money.

Do you pay us?

No.

People are really falling over each other!

So, could everybody come over...

for the rehearsal? Thanks.

Sorry but this is the old script, I don't have the latest version.

No it's the right version. - No, she doesn't say:

"When will you just fuck me?" - Yes she does.

She doesn't say that.

It's what the latest version of the script says.

What's the matter?

We'd agreed I wouldn't say that, I'm not saying it.

I never said that. -What? Come here.

She doesn't say that. -We never agreed on it.

Stop lying! You set me a trap!

I did not! We worked on it together and agreed...

We agreed I'd say "When will we fuck?"

That line doesn't work, it doesn't sound right.

Can we work this out?

We'd agreed on it!

No we didn't, now stop playing the diva and get on with it.

We'd agreed on it. I won't say it. She wouldn't say it!

She would, the rest doesn't work. - Let's find common ground here.

If you want this scene, I'm not saying it.

She doesn't say it. - Then get lost.

Anne, wait, come back! - That's no help.

Please, Anne!

You shouldn't leave it till the last minute.

We're not going to fight over a line. - It stays in the script.

But did she know?

She didn't.

Then find a compromise, change the line and that's it.

So, let's clear the set. - Ok, let's go.

We're ready?

Let's roll.

A last rehearsal? - No, it's fine, let's shoot.

All ready? Get ready then, let's do it, let's go!

We need to rehearse. - No we don't, use the energy, let's go.

Ok, let's shoot. Fabrizio...

Stand by, ready to roll.

104/1, take one.

Action.

When will you just fuck me?

What's wrong? Am I ugly? Do I stink?

Tell me what to do.

I'll do anything for you, to you.

It's not you, it's me. -Anything at all.

I'm tired.

Cut. Wonderful.

Great. -Was it ok?

The actors were perfect, don't change a thing.

Anne, wonderful.

Change nothing.

I have to go now and breast-feed,

I can hear my baby.

I'm off.

Move over, she has to sit down.

It's ok, my angel, it's fine.

Look at all these people around you.

Howlong do you need? -About half an hour.

Ok, we have half an hour so let's have the lunch break now.

Couldn't you just do half now? - No, I can't.

Fabrizio, really!

We're running two hours late.

It won't be two hours!

I warned you, you knew.

Making a movie takes time, so does breast-feeding.

Fabrizio, come and eat.

How's your film coming along?

Fine.

Call it. - 106/1, take eight.

Action.

Are your hands cold? Did you come by bike?

Cut, she looked at the camera.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Fabrizio, could you... - Let's do it again.

It's no use. - Let's just do it again.

106/1, take nine.

Action.

Are your hands cold?

Did you come by bike?

Wait, sorry!

Wait till I tell you to cut.

But it was worthless! - No Fabrizio, it was me.

The bit about the hands...

...it wasn't in the script so...

But Mariet...

Kris, by itself it's not a problem but...

I didn't knowhowto react.

It wasn't in the script. - No hands then?

I'd rather not.

Ok, I get it.

106/1, take ten.

Silence!

Action!

You came by bike?

You're not too cold? - No, I'm fine.

Blowyour nose.

Fabrizio, it's not... - I'm taking five minutes with the actors.

So Kris, were you improvising?

I just took a longer way round to get to the same point.

You mustn't improvise. You just say what's written in the script.

Listen.

Well, it is about sex...

What's the matter? -Well, he never auditioned her.

She can't act. She's not an actress. - Sure, but what do we do now?

I have no idea.

Can I talk to you for a second? -What's wrong?

If she can't cry, slap her.

Are you nuts? - No!

No more fooling around, we're making a movie. - You stop your bullshit.

Fran�ois, call the unit back.

Call them yourself!

We're starting again, film unit back on set.

It will be fine.

It's just us here, forget the rest.

Let's go.

106/1, take 14.

Jan, I want to have your child.

What? - I want your child.

No Mariet, please.

I'm getting older

and it's almost too late.

For whom?

For whom is it too late? - For me.

For you?

You're still a baby!

For me, maybe it's...

I can't, Mariet. It's impossible.

Impossible, we can't!

Cut.

You have to do something! - I knowwhat I have to do!

It's not working!

Don't tell me what to do! I knowwhat to do, ok?

Look, I don't want to interfere

but I don't think this is working out.

No, I know.

And I'd like to knowhowwe...

Leave my actors alone!

You're the producer, I'm the director.

Mind your own business. Only I talk to my actors, ok?

Can I ask just a question?

No, you can't!

Listen, Fabrizio, I knowthat...

...it won't work.

It's too tough, I can't do it.

I'm not an actress. So there.

You knowwhat we'll do:

take a break,

go over your lines and you'll see how everything will be ok.

There's no problem. - No. A break won't help.

I just can't. - Don't let her leave.

You're not leaving.

Mariet, stay here!

Don't let her go!

Stop her!

Fabrizio, she can't leave! - Let me take care of this.

You're not leaving, you're not letting us down!

Let me go, I really can't.

You have to stay. Everybody's counting on you.

You're a wonderful actress. - No, I'm not. I'm not wonderful

and I'm not an actress. So... -We'll rehearse, we'll take a break!

I'm leaving, sorry.

Stop her!

Did you audition her? - Yes I did.

Did you? - I did.

We're working for you, we're all killing ourselves working.

And you just mix everything!

You want everything and now...

We're losing everything, Fab. Losing it all.

I made a mistake.

I never auditioned Mariet.

So if you agreed to continue with the movie,

I'd be very happy.

Thanks, Jean-Benoit.

Move back.

Forward.

Look forward.

Hello.

Hi. How are you? - Fine.

Come and meet the unit.

This is Fran�ois, the assistant director. - Hello, Karine.

Welcome. - Thanks.

Jean-Benoit, catering. - I'll take your coat.

Dirk, our producer.

Welcome, we spoke on the phone.

Isabelle, our boom operator.

She's a waitress at the "Markten".

What?

She's the waitress from the "Markten".

Is this a joke?

He's not at it again!

And this is Kris...

whom you're doing the scene with.

He's the lead actor.

Sit down.

Ok, let's try.

Can I call you Karine?

Sure.

Fran�ois, ready for rehearsal?

Did you come by bike?

What's wrong, Karine?

Did I say something wrong?

Do you want to go somewhere else?

Can't you talk to me?

I want to have your child.

What?

We can't. It's impossible.

I can't.

Why?

I'm just not ready.

I like you but I'm just not ready.

Just forget it.

Something like that?

It's perfect, really great.

Sorry.

To walk the streets.

With no aim.

To speak softly.

Alone in the crowd.

To look at people, it makes me happy.

That's what happ/ness /s

A door sudden/y open/ng

That's what happ/ness /s

A new open/ng /n your //fe

That makes me happy

That makes me happy

That makes me happy

That's what happ/ness /s

The fee//ng you're not a/one

That's what happ/ness /s

F/na//y be/ng a/one together...

When w/// you just fuck me?

Am / ug/y?

Do / st/nk?

D/d / say someth/ng wrong?

Te// me what / can do foryou.

/'m t/red.

There, what do you think?

Don't we have another version without that line?

No, we don't have a version without "when will you just fuck me?"

It's not working.

You said it was the conerstone of the scene!

"When will you just fuck me?" and then the rest.

I knowl did.

It's just not working.

And if we cut out the whole scene, would that work?

Ok, sorry but I'm lost here. Cut out the whole scene, no.

Or else your movie will be a mess.

A complete mess.

We could also just drop the whole movie.

I'd like you to let me know as I've been working on that scene

for two days! - I know.

I'm sorry.

Do / st/nk?

D/d / do someth/ng wrong?

Te// me what / can do foryou. Tell me.

What do you think? - It's great.

It works, doesn't it? - It's great!

Really great.

I am, you are, he is, we are, you are. All together.

I am Eva.

You are, he is, we are, you are, they are.

I have a child, you have, he has,

we have, you have, they have.

Ok, good!

Howlong is it?

Two hours and forty five minutes.

You put everything in there!

It makes the storyline nice and clear but...

...it should be more... - That's right...

...more concise. The information should be more...

It lacks...

...rhythm. You can really shorten it.

I think you can cut out a whole hour.

What do you think?

Well, it's not bad. I like it.

But what is its audience?

And the ending...

I don't get the ending.

I think it's strange, not in keeping with the rest of the movie.

it's a bit... light.

It's true that it's a bit...

...corny.

Yes, corny.

Do you want it to be a happy ending or not?

Happy. - Great.

Then, they get together.

It ends with them being together.

What do you think is best?

I just think it's more interesting, for the movie,

if they're not together.

But if you want a happy ending, then have it.

So, for instance, Firuz, what do you like to do?

I like to run.

And where do you run?

I run in the park.

I write, I ride my bike.

You ride a bike?

Just for fun?

Where do you go on your bike?

To go and visit friends.

To go to the pub.

So you're an active cyclist to...

Yes, in town, in Brussels.

To get around then.

I've come to apologize.

I was stupid.

I was a jerk.

I feel...

I feel unhappy about what happened.

I knowit's difficult for you

but I'd like you to come and see the movie.

I don't know.

It's really not easy for me to come and watch it.

You don't have to come.

I'm really happy to see you all here at the Arenberg

for the premi�re of our movie, the movie we all made together.

I won't be too long,

I just wanted to thank you all very much,

thank you for your enthusiasm,

for the energy you put into this movie.

It was a pleasure for Cedric and I to work with you.

So thanks a lot!

I won't be long either.

Thanks, everyone.

The film exists thanks to you.
