About the interview - Emilia Pérez is the wildly original film by auteur director Jaques Audiard, based on Audiard's opera libretto of the same name. Audiard turned to cinematographer Paul Guilhaume, AFC to bring his vision to life.
In this exclusive interview, Guilhaume talks about a childhood moment that signified things to come. He shares his lighting choices and how he achieved the balancing act of giving reality-bending Emilia Pérez it's own world rules while keeping the story anchored in reality. An astonishing feat of craftsmanship, vision and genre-defying execution.
As an added treat, usually reserved for our members only, watch to the end and peek inside the cabinet of curiosities to find out Guilhaume's personal picks of music, art and extra inspirations that he generously gifts us. Enjoy!
