On this project they say risked his life immersed in shark-infested Bay, and removed there, where no one had directed a movie in Antarctica, dodging icebergs, in a violent storm when the wind speeds exceeded 170 mph.

Ivan Kudryavtsevka friends, in the “film Industry” the creators of the film “the Odyssey”, which will be released on Russian screens on December 1 this year. Directed by jérôme Salle and starring Lambert Wilson. Welcome to the Studio “film Industry”, we are very happy to see you here. First of all, I want to thank you for the film, it is really very good, he immediately fall in love and want to revisit again and again. The first thing you notice is how he is connected with Homer and his “Odyssey”.

Jerome Sallam Cousteau has linked his life with Homer, calling his kinoseriya in honor of his “Odyssey.” And most importantly — what’s he like in the poem Homer all started in the Mediterranean sea. And I grew up in those parts. That’s why I wanted to call his film.

The way Simone embodied on the screen Audrey Tautou, worldwide fame which brought the role of Amelie. For his work in “the Odyssey”, the actress came with a genuine passion and zeal: reviewed all the major films Cousteau, read books legendary captain and she got the certificate of the members of the crew of the “Calypso”… the Result is a startling transformation in Simon, which the crew called the “mistress of the ship.” She was committed to the ocean not less than the husband, she bequeathed to scatter her ashes at sea off the coast of Monaco.

Ivan Kudryavskaya about your partner in the film is Audrey Tautou. How was working with her?

Lambert Wilsona already starred with her in another film, and I thought that this project something happened. I have the feeling that she just finally found really his heroine, Simone. Probably because she is as independent and freedom-loving, loves to travel, the sea and ships. Sometimes the good fortune to meet the actor with which the scenes come easily, because he is totally immersed in character. The same and Pierre, Nine, who played my son is incredibly gifted. He is committed to making all one hundred percent. And it is very inspiring to work with young artists.

Having inherited his father’s spirit rebel and a pioneer, Philip sought to pave in life your — own route. But “the Odyssey” — a film about the purpose that could indicate love. The main journey in the life of each.

Ivan Kudryavskaya about his childhood memories, how you first met Cousteau? Your first impressions?

Lambert Wilsons me Cousteau was a part of life, because I belong to that generation that watched all of his programs. He was a true national hero, so kind, smiling, likable. Such an influential and charismatic teacher. And here he was in my life, and then suddenly completely disappeared. And I have not heard about it until the moment I was offered this film. And well, that happened in my life – I learned to swim in that sea, where Cousteau had a house.

Jerome, Sellato part of my childhood. Like all of my generation, I watched his program on TV. These white ships with red hat… I wanted to be a part of this team. It was like a dream come true: to travel by ship around the world, discover something new. These people looked incredibly free, and it was amazing. Therefore, making this film, we could live a little the same life that they lived 50 years ago.

“If you have not visited Cape town, then lived a life in vain” — liked to repeat Cousteau. “Odyssey” was shot in real locations, including in South Africa. In Croatia, the crew dived with aqualungs old samples: a 40-ies of the last century. It was during the Second world naval officer Cousteau introduced the first Autonomous underwater breathing apparatus for free divers.

Ivan Kudryavtseva trained in diving for the film or already knew how to dive?

Lambert Wilsona learned to dive specifically for the film, and at first was very afraid that hurts the ears. Now it’s hard for me to imagine that I could never try it alone! Generally very good to play a character who has such kind of activity. Cousteau was diving with scuba and at the same time removed. Of course, I did not take off, but that diving in itself has helped me to adopt the physical image of the character. Cousteau was obsessed with how to dive gracefully and to just sinking all of his divers. It was important for him to properly feel under the water — a harmonious part of nature.

A report from the world premiere of the film “the Odyssey”
Ivan Kudryavtseva miss adventure films on the screen?

Lambert Wilsonic the viewer I don’t divide movies into genres. But as an actor – of course selective about the choice of the picture. In movies such as “the Odyssey”, it is interesting to play. Important here is the story of people. We have in the film reflects the eternal conflict between fathers and children. I think this picture is even more about the relationship between father and son, who can not properly Express their love, and then she about the incredible landscapes and travel. The story itself is very close to us with Jerome, because our fathers – also a great personality. It is not easy to find its place in your life when your father is a charismatic leader and in addition incredibly tough critic.

Ivan Kudreviciene we see the dominance of Hollywood comics, a lot of comedies, but I almost never see a classic adventure films, such as yours, for example. Do you think that this genre needs to return to the screens?

Jerome Salle decided to make this film because I liked the story. I wanted to take this story, and not wondering – will her people. But in France, where we have already released a picture of the car, people come, they like. Let’s see what happens in Russia. Yes, this film is about the adventure, but not only that, it is also about family. This should please the audience, because on the one hand this is a very unusual family, but at the same time, it is the same as all. The problems that they are experiencing and how they are at war with each other – in all families, it happens. And it’s interesting. This is a film about what is work – family.

Ivan Kudryavtsev said about your scenario, the family members of the Cousteau?

Jerome Saline there is one family Cousteau, he had many fine qualities, but I’m not sure he was a perfect father and a good family man. I spoke with many, and got very different reactions. I was offered to read the script and said I’d be happy to receive any comments – someone sent them to me, someone is not sent, I’m not even sure what all of them saw the film. But I think they are all quite satisfied. In General, I was shooting film is not for them, and for the audience. It’s them I tell the story. I didn’t dwell on real facts, after all, is primarily a spectacle. And we all know what that means, because Cousteau himself also entertained the audience, so I hope the audience will understand what I wanted to convey.

Ivan Kudrjavceva know that in France your film is recommended to viewing in schools. Would you recommend it for the Russian children and their parents?

Jerome Salinase movie designed for family audiences. I have two ten year old children, and I would like to see this film and that it showed in their school. For me is very important. There’s a beautiful, breathtaking nature, this is one of the reasons I removed the “Odyssey.” So Yes, I would recommend our cinema.

Lambert Wilsonia saw children like the film, although in reality they know nothing about Cousteau, they just enjoy the picture. So this film is really. Of course, he still somehow forms, and so forth, but most importantly, it is fun to watch. And I love that children, not knowing anything about this story, I sincerely appreciate the high quality of the film.

Ivan Kudryavtseva you very much. And believe me, we really loved your movie, it start to miss as soon as it ended. I want to see him again.
