Martin Bourboulon watches the film “The Three Musketeers: Milady”

Interview with realist Martin Bourboulon about Les Trois Mousquetaires

Number: You can sort the last part of the diptych. Three Musketeersce mercredi December 13, 2023 Comment s’attaque à un tel Monument de la Literature?

Martin Bourboulon : I interrupted the work on the collective energy, it was a terrible accompaniment of my producers, authors, with dynamism Dmitry Rassam and others Pathé (Jerome Seydoux and Ardavan Safai). Nous sommes tous portés par une vive forte, celle de continuar à croire que, meme si on est dans un momento où la fusion of images in motion, où regulars relax in the house to watch films on platforms où l’offre est très forte, on the possible choice. When sending it will say: “ Voila, in France, about resources, talents, stories and what is not difficult to offer to the audience, for the cinema hall, big events, big films with wonderful cinematic ambitions. »

Et comment avez-vous réussi à vous approprier le texte Alexandre Dumas?

As for demeanor, rapport à l’immensité d’un texte, par rapport à un patrimoineculturall français, j’aime bien observer at the theater or at the opera, la manière dont des metteurs en scène contemporains reéperrogent le repertoire classique. Essentially, it is the “modernity” of a great classic in offering a version, a vision. And as for the little story, ça faisait 60 years in France, on n’avait pas eu un Three Musketeers.

Comment, is the tournament over?

I want to combine ambition with my epic and intimate moments in these two films. Je savais que j’avais beaucoup de personnages à Trater et d’aller plus loin en profondeur dans l’âme des personnages, dans Three Musketeers: Milady, de leur donner du Volume et du Souffle. And the image of the film, the tour is absolutely epic, it seems like a 150-day tour, which corresponds to the last part of the tour, which is completely new. Deja, the main principle, when you watch two films at one point in time, is a special measure.

“I am obsessed with the viewer at the moment of making a film. Je ne le lâche jamais. » Martin Bourboulon

I know you need actors to fight with their clothes on. What joke did you save in your thread?

Je me souviens très bien de la première fois où j’ai rencontré dans le memême espace geographique, tous les Actors (Francois Civil, Vincent Cassel, Pio Marmai and etc. Romain Duris) ensemble. On this day at the gymnasium in Montreuil. On leur avait, a coach was offered with Yannick Borel, the French Olympic champion in film adaptation. This is the moment when all four of you are jogging, exercising, preparing and training. And I read that I shot the action in real time, that is, in cinematic parlance, I shot the fight scenes sequentially. The idea is in a mechanical space and does not pursue a goal. Je leur ai annoncé qu’ils n’allaient pas être doubles dans leurs battles. And I meet this moment by putting on a favorable and exciting face for this challenge. Ils se sont immédiatement dits, explains: “ D’Accord, where he cannot enter. »

Eva Green embodies the image of a woman, independent and powerful, in Their The Three Musketeers: Milady. Alors que vore film Eiffel Avait été épinglé par report à la d’érence d’âge between the two main actors: Romain Duris était beaucoup plus âgé qu’Emma McKee. Do you want your steam back?

I do not expect revenge from the whole spirit and envy of the account regulator. This is just the first opus, which is called D’Artagnan et le deuxième qui s’appelle Milady. And there is no need to pay homage to the titles and dynamics of the available films to send the character of Milady to the center stage in the second volute. And those who are on you Three Musketeers I know that Milady and Athos have a good relationship. C’est une femme qui, au fund d’elle-même, a été abîmée, meurtrie, par la natural men et s’est sense trahie par les men. Lecture on masculinity and fragility. J’avais le devoir et l’obligation de raconter ce personnage-là en étant fidèle au texte. Give them Three Musketeersles femmes (incarnées par Eva Green, Lina Khudri et Vicky Krieps) are sincere in the hearts of men.

Between Eiffeltwo volumes of comedy Dad or Mom and etc. Three Musketeersyou have now sold 10 million records in the class. In the comments, explain the success of your films?

I can’t explain the situation. Either way, I think this is the point of communication between all the bad things between these films. Ce que je ne trouve pas surprenant dans mon metier, et que font de grans cinéastes américains – comme Spielberg – Dont je m’inspire, this is my confrontation in relation to the big story. This is a thematic obsession, except for me, this is a terrible commentary in which the individual is forced to confront the exterior and immensity of his surroundings. Dance EiffelImagine: on this tour he will dress for the sake of love for a woman? And this thematic obsession is very important for the cinematic genre. I love comedy, adventure films, historical films. And spoil me every day in different registries. However, without explanation for these dizzying dizziness, I am the obsession of the viewer at the moment of the film’s creation. Je ne le lâche jamais. Je suis toujours en train de me requires comment on this scene. Est-ce qu’il va comprendre les enjeux? Est-ce qu’il va rire? This is the action I suggest in Three Musketeers Don’t you feel immersed? Ça fait trop de bien et ça provide trop de plaisir quand on fait des Films et qu’on touche les gens. And I saw popular cinema with maximum ambition and artistic demand, with an excellent cast and sincerity. J’essaie d’aller au bout de mon idée, pour ne rien regrets.

“The success of Animal Kingdom, Chute Anatomy or Barbie is very encouraging. These are original and ambitious films that dress the audience in the theater.” Martin Bourboulon

What are your projects?

I’m attending the first three episodes of The Age. Take care of mea magnificent project designed for the Apple TV+ platform on stage. Lina Khudri, Benjamin VoisinJeremy Renier and others Juliette Armand. The best way to describe this project is: ” sex, food and politics“. This is the story of this young kitchen, Antonin Carême (the incarnation of the port part of Benjamin Voisin), who penetrated the secrets of power, and, as a consequence, spied on the government at the moment when Napoleon became prime consul. Il va vivre plein d’aventures et d’histoires d’amour très fortes avec des spionnes. I explore the universe of the kitchen, which is Talleyrand’s great weapon, which in retrospect represents the strength and weapon of diplomacy at a time when France is a very fragile country.

You’re working on a book adaptation. 13 days, 13 nights in Kabul sickness Mohamed Bida talks about the evacuation of Afghan civilians by French police via the chute from Kabul in 2021…

And I was preparing at the same time as another film that you are going to show with Pathé, Dimitri Rassam and an encore called 13 days, 13 nights in Kabul sickness et qu’on Tourne au Springemps Prochain. This is a return, for me, of films and contemporaries. And a police commander is assigned to the case, whose name is Commandant Mohamed Bida, played by Roshdi Zem. It was a complete return to the behavior at the French Embassy, ​​at a time when the Taliban in Kabul, Afghanistan, were in a position to return. The largest evacuation of people ever organized since World War II. The film is actually based on a book du même nom that was written. Un recit haletant qui parle du déracinement. The machine is undoubtedly competing with these rescued people who get to their exfiltration upon arrival, and this is when people who do not want to leave.

Did you think the movie existed in your cinema?

I thought the film was doit être vu. Realizers and actors no longer work for the public, for the audience. I found the film here to be very cool. Obviously, a film in a theater provides an opportunity to obtain artistic intentions for filming on stage or for a more sensitive actor. When he feels bad in the cinema, in the dark, according to unexpected features that some choose, notamment le travail sur le son, which participates in the full emotion of the film and something else plus de bad perception when considering other support. Service, emotions, it can be created in the cinema, most of all in Australia, at altitude, on other supports. What I’m saying is that I am an ardent advocate for the cinema and suggest films for the cinema, as Three Musketeersand I thought that a film could only exist on the platform.

You have returned, but this is not the reason for the desertions, it is the desertion of the public in cinema halls. What is it like when you are ready to meet spectators in dark halls?

Ce don’t on se rend compte, c’est qu’on ne peut plus capital letter sur une recette. The formula is deciphered three times by the viewer. For example, Marvel movies work well. Film success animal Le Ren, d’Anatomy of a shot Your mobile phone Barbie This trio is encouraging. These are original and ambitious films that captivate audiences in the theater. It’s calming.
