I thank you so much because you're the first one who's talking about that moment. It's exactly this idea of addiction to power. The man is about to die, but still the idea that he could get closer to power is like a human addiction. Thank you very much for pointing that out.

It's a very good question, thank you. All shots are different from that specific moment where the Baron is lying on the stairs. It's a character, for those who haven't seen the movie, it's a character that is just about to die and sees suddenly the throne. The king has left the throne and the throne is up the stairs and he's looking at the throne and he's crawling towards it.

And with a moment like that, I will say it's a very simple image. So it's about Stellan. I explained to Stellan the idea, and Stellan Skarsgård, who plays the Baron, will perform and bring that to life. Sometimes I will say that the camera angles and the camera movement can help to enhance or... Elevate. Thank you very much. That's why I'm here. To bring force into an idea.

The camera is always very powerful, but the birth of the idea is acting, of course. Yeah, that's cool. But let's say perhaps, especially in this... About music, it's something for me that it's a power. Music is super powerful, but I try to not think about it. as I'm shooting because it needs to be on screen first. It's something that... Well, I had a question about that.

It depends. A good example will be the sandworm riding where Timothée Chalamet playing Paul Atreides will attract a sandworm and then when the sandworm arrives nearby him, he will jump on the worm and ride the worm. So it's a sequence that is like heavily storyboarded and needs months of prep.

And at this moment, let's say that the choreography that I impose, I'm more of a dictator, I impose a rhythm, a precise choreography that Timothée has to follow. But inside that choreography, there's tiny moments where Timothée, when I'm in close-up on him, how he can anticipate the arrival of this beast toward him, the way you can act with

with his eyes, there's tiny things, the micro-precision of acting that he can bring. I mean, I'm open to ideas, but in general, sometimes it's more loose, some sequences, there's more space for the actor, and those are also I love when I have time to give space to the actors to bring some ideas. I'm talking about the settings of a scene. It's very inspiring when when people bring good ideas.
