Céline explains the thought and making process of the first kiss scene
(Thank you @bereaving for making those beautiful GIFs !)
“This match cut of the extended hand to this other space time was thought since the writing. This is unexpected because globally in the movie we works on scenes that are something and become something else. Here in this first kiss scene, it’s the opposite. We go from one scene to another through a radical ellipse.”
“This scene of first kiss was thought for a very long time. How to make a first kiss scene, what is a first kiss, what will we remember from it. From what is leading to this kiss and this choreography we’re thinking about. This long tracking shot between the rocks and then this match cut. Those steps, those scarves that were thought for that scene. Because the goal was to renew the figure and to work on the erotism of consent, with this idea that they would undress their mouths and the fabric on their lips would tell about their deep breaths.”
“The cave, the work of sound, the work of a beating heart, of this rising tide, acting like a heart in the belly.”

I don't know about you guys, but it feels weird to me when straight people say bi instead of bisexual and pan instead of pansexual. When they shorten it like that as if they know better.. Nah

A job offer draws him out of hiding and back to Connecticut - the very state where the crimes were committed. He needs the money, and the job is a dream. Then he meets the brilliant William Vernet, and it seems like he has a second chance at life and love. But the past has a way of catching up.
