So, it was the same with... In the screenplay, there were two trips to Italy, so we made two trips to Italy. We left the first time, we did what needed to be done, the guy returns to Paris, we come back with him. And then he decides to go back to Italy and so we go back to Italy.
[Q] So it hadn't been filmed in one go?
No, no.
[Q] But the production hadn't said anything in regards to the cost?
The production said he shouldn't be bothered; he had to be left alone. That's it. And we even took with us to Italy, there was a phone call with a voice-over, we took the person who did the voice-over with us. Incredible. So obviously it's very disconcerting.
Bon. Enfin je veux dire, alors ça a été la même chose, dans le scénario il y avait deux voyages en Italie, on a fait deux voyages en Italie. On est partis une première fois, on a fait ce qu'il y avait à faire, le gars il revenait de Paris, on revient de Paris avec lui. Et puis il décide de retourner en Italie et on retourne en Italie.
[Q] Ça n'avait pas été tourné en un seul bloc?
Non, non.
[Q] Mais la production n'avait rien dit par rapport au coût?
La production disait qu'il ne faut pas l'embêter, il faut le laisser. Voilà. Et il y avait même là, on a même embarqué en Italie, il y avait un coup de téléphone avec une voix off, on a embarqué la personne qui faisait la voix off. Formidable. Alors évidemment c'est très déconcertant.
