Hi everyone and welcome to this bonus episode.
I am with Maxence Danet-Fauvel who will be Clap M'en Cinq's guest
on Wednesday for his interview.
- How are you Maxence?
- I'm doing great.
Are you ready to face Terrible Spielberg's questionnaire?
- Yup.
It's a quick questionnaire on your cinematic taste with only one rule:
Answer as quickly as possible with the first answer that comes to your mind.
- Ok, got it.
- Well it's gonna get tricky.
- Go ahead, go ahead.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- What's the first movie you ever saw in theatres?
- Asterix... I can't remember which one.
- "Against Caesar"?
- Uh... I forget.... Yes, "Against Caesar".
But I remember I left the theater after 3 minutes.
Because I was scared, yeah.
I was really young, and I was scared of everything when I was a kid...
Yeah, I left the theater.
- Next, a movie that impacted your childhood, maybe without scaring you.
- Toy Story.
- Yeah, Toy Story.
- And, well it wasn't really my childhood, but Up.
- Up? Yes, of course.
- It was the most beautiful cartoon I've ever seen.
- A model-actress?
- Jessica Chastain.
- A model-actor?
- Uh... Matthew McConaughey.
- Do you have a favorite movie genre?
- Um, contemplative movies, slow ones.
- Yeah.
- With beautiful filmography.
- Do you have an example?
- The Tree of Life.
- Ok, so Terence Malick...
- Terence Malick, he's my... yeah.
- That works.
- Yeah.
- The last movie you saw in theaters?
- Wow. Actually, I don't go to the movies while I'm shooting,
and I've been shooting nonstop since September so
I have absolutely no idea about the last movie I saw at the cinema.
Oh wait, I do! Grâce À Dieu. (Thanks to God).
- Oh yeah! It was from...
A while ago!
- It was a long time ago. Very long ago.
And I've been shooting a lot lately.
- Yeah, that's how it is! And it's coming out in February!
- That's right.
- What movie that's not out yet are you anticipating? If you'll have the time to see it.
- That's not out yet that I'm anticipating? I'm not at all up to date...
- There's James Bond coming out, Christopher Nolan, there's...
- Joker. Not old Joker, but Joker...
- The movie that always makes you cry?
- Um, Mommy.
- Xavier Dolan.
- On the other hand, the movie that always makes you laugh.
- Uh... I can't say shows right, only movies?
- It's fine, go ahead.
- How I Met Your Mother.
- Of course!
- It's... yeah. That's it.
- It's really amazing.
- So you're more How I Met Your Mother than Friends.
- I am.
- We're on the same page, I also prefer How I Met Your Mother.
- The movie you watch to lift your spirits?
- How I Met Your Mother.
No, well... I like Pixar films to lift my spirits.
Cartoons, yeah I love those.
- Yeah. And Up, you mentioned Up.
- From Pixar, I love all of them, more or less.
But... yeah.
- Very well. Are you going to see Onwards?
- Yes.
- Well, then maybe that's the one you're anticipating!
- Yeah, let's say it's that one!
- There we go!
- The movie that inspires you?
- Uh... The Tree of Life, by Terence Malick. Or I Origins, also.
And I can never remember the director's name, but it's a gorgeous movie.
- The movie that traumatized you?
- Wow, uh... It!
- Really?
- No no, the first It... Not the recent one, the old one.
My parents re-recorded It on a...
They re-recorded the movie on a Disney cassette,
and when I was six years old I was there putting it on myself, trying to handle it
I wanted to watch The Jungle Book, and I found myself watching It.
And you know, like a kid, I stayed glued to the screen, and it traumatized me for life.
I'm scared of clowns now.
- Oh, wow. So it really...
- Oh yeah, it really stuck with me.
- Well, the movie that scared you the most? It, or something else?
- No, I forget the title...
Insidious, I think? Something like that?
- Insidious, yeah! By James Wan.
- I think it was that one.
- Yeah, that movie's terrifying.
- With that old lady...
- For sure.
- Yeah, that's pretty scary.
- And The Shining, the first time I saw it.
- I mean, it's been about 12 years now, but The Shining also really traumatized me.
- And the movie that no one knows but you always recommend?
- It's always I Origins!
I have no idea why no one's heard of it, but whenever I talk about it, everyone's like "Hm, I've never heard of it."
And it's really a fantastic movie.
I'm really passionate about the iris, about eyes, and it's a movie that revolves around that
along with reincarnation,
and for me, it's one of the most beautiful love stories
in all of cinema.
And it's about a researcher who's trying to bring back sight to mice
who are albino or blind, and he meets a young lady while he's studying,
and you fast forward 12 years, and
you see them when he's actually a researcher, and she...
I forget her job, I think she's a model...
And it's pretty much their whole story, and actually I can't...
There's an amazing plot twist,
and it gives a whole new dimension to the movie,
and that's when it starts to get into reincarnation, eyes, all that.
And it's very poetic, it's magnificent.
- Well we'll all go watch it now, I Origins, you know...
