00:00 - Do you want to drink something? - Coffee, coffee.
00:03 You know, in the interviews I've seen, or the photos,
00:07 I've noticed that you never look at the camera.
00:10 No.
00:13 Why?
00:14 I don't like it too much.
00:16 Look, you have to.
00:18 It's embarrassing.
00:20 Why is it embarrassing?
00:23 Because it's too personal.
00:25 What?
00:27 Because it's like looking into someone's eyes, so it's too personal.
00:30 But if it's a mirror?
00:32 You look at yourself, you're not looking at someone else.
00:37 In a mirror, it's only you.
00:40 Precisely.
00:41 It's like if I were going to film your self-portrait.
00:45 But you won't always be alone in the mirror.
00:47 There will be the camera, which is a little bit me.
00:51 And too bad if I appear sometimes in the mirror or in the field.
00:57 But I want to look at you, but not the camera.
00:59 I'm afraid it's a trap.
01:01 No, it's not a trap. I don't want to trap you, I don't want to trap you.
01:04 But in the cinema, it's 24 portraits, different per second or per hour.
01:08 You just have to follow the rules of the game,
01:11 and look at the camera as often as possible.
01:14 Inside.
01:15 You have to look inside, otherwise you won't look at me.
