Italian director Enrico Maria Artale did not be frightened by referencing Jacques Audiard‘s 2009. Oscar-nominated drama in its eight episode series “Prophet“It’s premiered in Venice now. But others were.
“Many French Directors Refused to The Series Before They offered it to me – They were afraid to touch something that was so famous and beautiful, and meaningful. Or Maybe It was out of respect for the institution that is jacques audiard,” He says.
“It was always the master for me – even before” prophet “I loved” the beat that my heart skipped. “But I just thought it was a unique work on something I admired.”
Sell StudiOcanal And Created Abdel Raouf Dafri and Nicolas Peufaillit, “Prophet” – Malik (Mamadou Sidibe), a young African immigrant, who tries to survive in French prison. He meets Masom (Bouajil alone), powerful businessman. Malik wants protection – Massoud wants obedience.
“The first thing I said to the manufacturers and I think I was surprised, I didn’t mean what Jacques did. It’s not a different story, it’s in terms of style, tons. I wanted to push it.
The world series is not exactly the same as the world of film, but “deals with the same issues”, he points out. In time, some conflicts changed, and some exploded: “as immigration. The idea was to cross the prison story, because the original film was not just one of the reasons why the issue found the following Kult.”
He wanted to refer to classical French noire movies: Jacques Becker’s works and Robert Bresson.
“It was funny, because manufacturers mentioned Italian movies and show, like” Gomerrah, “and I continued to talk about French movies. Perhaps this is why this mixed identity likes,” laughs. With literature and religion, he was tempted in the story, he finished combining scenes like documentary films with something “mystical”.
“I’ve been thinking about it incredibly long and beautiful scenes with a priest in Steve McQueeee ‘Hunger.’ I thought: Prison is the place of violence, but also a philosophical research, “he says.
“Abdel, one of the creators, told me,” I know that people don’t care like that, but I don’t talk about the reality of these places, “I’m talking a lot of violence, psychological and physical, these characters have had a lot of dignity. I found it touching it.”
Something probably pairing Malik and Massouda turned out to be his favorite in the show.
“What’s going on between them is so surprising. There is everything: racism, discrimination sexual orientation, the gap between the rich and the poor. They are feeling somehow, though they are as accurate.”
While “there are conversations” about the second season, Artale could eventually enjoy as a viewer.
“Three years of everyday work last and a huge part of my life. It was more like that it was harder, though it was hard to do it,” it was hard to do it again, “it was hard to do it again,” it was hard to do it “Now” now “now” now “now” now “now” now “, currently” currently “directed to the next movie”.
“That doesn’t mean I won’t pay attention to the possibility of the second season. I love these characters and I would like to know what happens to them. They have become close friends.”
Artale, also behind “Romulus” and “Django”, adds to the actors “, enabling the rewrite and spending and walked away, because he almost ruled in the chronological order, at least partial, to follow the evolution of the characters.
“I like to film it all and just be there with them. It allows me to” dance “to the actors.” He says, hoping that “TV and Indie film will pass even more in the future.”
“I want to defend movies. But once these two worlds start talking to each other, it will be good for everyone.”
