the warmest role model you have the
title role why shouldn't you have
absolutely all right okay well Colin
good morning good morning it's nice to
be talking with you if here in Chicago
about Val mo I bring you good news I am
your last interview before lunch it was
so we do this you get rewarded with
lunch okay to do good good anyway let me
say in all seriousness how much I
enjoyed the film there is wonderful and
00:31
your performance just excellent I mean
it's such a sumptuous pictures and well
I just saw it for the first time
yesterday afternoon and it's been kept I
think they're only two prints in this
country at the moment and has been kept
very discreet and very sort of under
wraps so it's been a big mystery I spend
six months of my life on this thing it's
a big production and then you hear
nothing everything just goes quite a
mouth I see the movie and now
everybody's telling me things and it's
it's quite an upheaval while you were
01:04
waiting for this one to come out did you
see dangerous liaison yeah I went to see
it yeah I liked it I thought it's very
very good I it has nothing to do with
this in fact I in fact I thought that at
the time and then when I saw our movie I
felt it even more really i thought how
can you compare these things the truth
valmont's though are very different and
yours is a a little lighter lighter
01:33
strokes not quite as mean or diabolical
was that pretty much your interpretation
or was that lilo just encouraging that
very much me Lucia he was right it felt
right um I agreed with him I suffered
from a great temptation to make him as
much of a villain as possible a lot of
the time I think actors want to do that
I don't maybe some don't I but I love
villains i mean i would love to really
play one full throttle and just same as
02:03
evil as possible but i think in our
particular interpretation i think that
would have been an over simplistic and
far too comfortable a choice
and I think that paradoxically despite
the fact that the characters in our film
I perhaps lighter and more likeable as
such I think that it is slightly more
difficult because it's not as
comfortable to like these people and
their behavior think it would be far
easier if you could sit back and judge
them and shake your head and tight you
02:35
know that they're all up to no good and
I would never do such a thing well as in
this one I think you get involved and I
think that you I don't think anybody
should really do anything in this film
that's very far beyond what anybody else
is capable of and I think that's part of
its strength you were quoted as having
said that Milo's Foreman never lets you
off the hook what did you mean their
directors I think particularly if you're
working to tight schedule and you've got
little money who will say lovely darling
03:08
that's fine that'll do and it's in the
can and it really is second burst and
milosz will never allow that to happen
you know you he knows if it could be
better and he knows if you can do better
and he doesn't or even if you feel you
can't do better and who thinks you can
you know he'll go for it and tell you
and it doesn't matter how much sweat
there is as a result he just keeps at it
and it's quite a grueling thing but it's
it's uplifting because eventually I
03:39
think actors will excel themselves under
this circumstance does he ever push you
to the point where you get a little
testy and you wish you'd just lay off
for a while yes I would say so yeah
there were times a night I just thought
elephant I cannot function with this
bombardment of demands you know and but
you know it's done in such good faith
there's never any real hostility there's
never any anger involved there's never
anything malicious you know you hear
directors who are really quite sadistic
04:10
in their approach there's nothing of
that with him it's entirely humane and
you're always on the same side you know
you're working to make the thing good
and it was it was enormously challenging
and exhilarating to work
but yeah there are times you get testy
and there were times that he got
depressed I remember I remember he there
was an airplane going over for the 50th
time and Salman said well what do you
want me loss to him to why the module
should we do whether capture going door
and he just said I don't want to make
any more movies anymore now it's at
04:42
times and it gets to that point in six
months of shooting you know he looked at
a lot of actors I'm told before he
decided that you would be foul Mille
yeah so what did you do that impressed
him so much I really don't know I mean
I've what I tried to work it out
obviously and I i think i just took it a
different approach I mean what as you
see that I'm really not what most people
expect I want to be like I didn't think
and I think it was precisely that but
interested him he didn't want anything
05:14
obvious in this film and there is
nothing obvious in this room thank
goodness because we've all seen plays
read the book of seen another film
version and I think this is full of
surprises and nobody is what you expect
and I think he hears problem with most
of the people he saw was they made the
art of seduction terribly serious
business they smolder than they look
dangerous and all this sort of thing and
I remember me not saying why is it why
they think that a woman who goes to bed
05:44
with a man who is so serious all the
time you know when why didn't you know
why's he not make a laugh and and I I
knew that I wasn't going to get away
with a smoldering lover thing I mean
that's just not me and I think so I I
used levity and humor and I suppose it
must have had something to do with that
I don't know I didn't think it's you
know I don't think I out Sean the talons
of everybody else that we're known for
his latest well you are a charming can I
06:13
must say and again it's just such a
glorious film I hope you I hope it does
well thank you and thank you calling I
enjoyed talking with you very very much
thank you very much thank you I'd love
to in country also oh yeah
so I suppose
