Movie shock, Sacha Wolff has also explained his report to the violence, to the darkness : “I had wanted to confront this violence. I want to go out in the darkness. It does not remain smooth. I wanted to go in the bumps, in what there could be rough. But I also want to contrast, as the film is not a kind of brick that we take on the walk. I love japanese cinema, for example, in the films of Kurosawa, there are often moments of comedy that contrast. Or in star wars for example. It is the same. The sequences with the robots are the times when we get fed up.”
And to add : “I didn’t have the will to truly shock. After that, I think that this is incredible in the film, it is that it is a space of freedom in which we can offer points of view that are radically different from what is presented elsewhere. As to the question of violence, in my relationship with the cinema there are many movies that I have extremely pronounced when I was young, films that are fairly violent. I realized little by little that there was something in there that could have existed in the film is extremely interesting.“
