This talk was moderated by Jean Christophe Berjon, director of the critics week at Cannes. In this chat about Tavernier’s film, which is about a painter, the director made it very clear that his intention was not to recreate impressionism, but that he was looking for the opposite effect. “Impressionistic painting tries to hide the deepness of the fields, and I wanted the opposite, I wanted to show their fullest beauty. It is Renoir’s world but it is not filmed as a Renoir. I created this film with my personal memories, and actually, the main character is my father.” Tavernier mentioned that his film emphasizes on two dramatic points: “first, the moment when Irene arrives all of a sudden and then later when she leaves unexpectedly.” The moviemaker, who is known for his sensitive ways of drawing and understanding the world through his films, mentioned that there are two things actors can not learn at acting school: “education and culture.” Berjon ended the discussion by mentioning that Tavernier’s character problematic wise- reminded him to Elisa Miller’s Ver Llover.
