Discover the dreamlike universe of the directors, the imaginary worlds that influence them, the conscious or unconscious references underlying the films.
1- The character who touched you the most?
Probably Billy Elliot (British comedy-drama). It's a touching film. He just wants to dance! It's sweet without being sentimental.
2- The character that scared you the most?
"Chucky" in the film "Child's Play" (1988).
3- The character you would most like to meet?
Oh, there are so many. "Uncle Iroh" in the TV series "Avatar: The Last Airbender". He is gentle, charming and wise. It would be interesting to have tea with him and learn a lot. I'm still very fond of this character archetype.
4- The character you would like to reincarnate as (^_^)?
I wouldn't mind being the wizard "Hauru" in the film Howl's Moving Castle (2004) directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
5- The world you would like to live in?
6- The world you wouldn't want to live in?
The post-apocalyptic world of the film "The Road" (2009). Dull and gray.
7- What role would you like to play in a work of fiction?
I think I would be a really good supporting character whose name you don't remember, but who you love. A character who dies unjustly due to betrayal or to save a more important character.
8- Your earliest memory of fiction?
9- Your favorite word?
In English, “cellar door”. (“cave” in French).
10- Music you would like to listen to now?
