My Friends (Mes copains, 2008) Director: Louis Garrel There are days when I tell myself that I’m not worthy of my friends. Other days when I look at them looking at me and I think: “The others all failed from the very start but we’re gonna make it.” And then I tell myself: “Even that idea will get old, so quick, quick, let’s film it.” You scribble a story about parents who take their kids hostage, and you ask a really pretty girl to play the boy who wants all the girls.” You project that on a big screen and you see what that gives you. Ah there, my friends on the big screen because I think they’re very handsome beginning, but us guys, we’ll make it.” And then I think: “Even this particular idea will grow old, so quick, film it now.” Sketch out a story about parents who take their children hostage, and ask a really pretty girl to play the boy who wants all the girls. Project it on screen and see how it looks. There they are, my pals bigger than life-size because I think they are fantastic.
