I would be lying if I said there was nothing autobiographical in Garçon Chiffon, but it’s really a personal film. I don’t really like the term « autobiographical ». The most personal films are the ones I like the most. I’m one of those people who believe that the more infinitely precise and detailed you are – without necessarily only talking about what you’ve been through – the more you open a window on the world through stories that can speak to people in Korea, Japan or California. It has always interested me a lot because I don’t think there is anything better than autobiographical fiction to reach as many people as possible. Those are three people who filmed themselves, too. Forget Me, Normal People Are Nothing Special with Valéria Bruni-Tedeschi, and the films of Nanni Moretti and Woody Allen.
The Jeremy character is inspired directly by all the films I loved in the 1990s.
I’ve carried this film inside me since the moment I decided I would make movies, but I didn’t think I would be the one to make it. Is it a project you have carried inside for a long time? It seems very autobiographical.
