In this film there is a magnificent skating scene, the actress is incredibly talented...

The actress was a French skating champion (laughs).

Was it in the script or was it improvised?

No, no, it was in the script. And then the ice rink was an interesting element for me, especially a deserted ice rink. It's part of a mythology of settings that I use whenever I can. Well, a deserted ice rink is something!
A deserted museum is something I really want to use too. For example, I dream of being able to shoot in the Musée Des Monuments Français at the Palais Chaillot, which is an absolutely fabulous place, very very unusual, especially when it is empty, and it is almost always empty (laughs).
There is also the Musée De La Marine, all these are places which, when you take them out of their tourist context, are quite privileged places for a certain form of fantasy.
