The first surprise that I had when I heard people talking about my movie was that everybody was seeing references to other movies.
Why does my movie provoque so much references to the audience ?
It’s interesting to see that the references vary on the country where the movie is screened : Monthy Python, Woody Allen, Godard, Dino Risi… etc.
I think it is because of the way I made this film.
Colors are very saturated, there are also very few camera movements, it is not a fashion way to make a movie so it may remind of the 70’s or 60’s.
Plenty of movies come to the spectator’s mind. As there is a certain freedom in filming and very few self-censorship with people smoking, drinking and driving without safety belt, it may remind them of a certain period of cinema.
The freedom of filmmaking is also a way to escape from the routine where certain filmmakers or crews are making movies.
