00:20 - Close was just nominated for five European Film Awards...what does the Best Actor nod for Eden Dambrine symbolize for you?
03:53 - How do you think about color and what were you looking to achieve here?
08:05 - ....I'm touched by your what you say about looking at life through art...
09:24 - There is this great Altmanesque long zoom shot - yr observational approach and the assortment of shots don't always capture shifts in Leo’s mindset....
15:20 - Émilie Dequenne’s character is at Leo’s mercy for information - but almost like a priest, she is the only one who can give him a pardon. How much of a challenge was it to build this dynamic mother of another son rapport?
20:30 - What does you daily life look like after everything will be said and done for Close?
