When French filmmaker Francois Ozon comes to the United States, you'd be advised to take notice. So I have some work to do.
Many filmmakers know what good taste is, and stay within the bounds of good taste and good rules.
But I think you have to push those envelopes. In fact, I find that fairytales and current events news stories have a lot in common, because of their dark side and horrible details. I wanted to go in another direction. I wanted to make a genre film and use the fairytale means to reveal the characters in a different way. In fact, the story was all reorganized in the editing room.
