“When I read the script, that’s not what I read - I read a very painfully truthful psychological thriller that I found very moving. Put that along the side the fact that Fabrice believes he is making a ghost movie at the same time; which I think that contrast is extraordinary, in that it’s a genre shifting film. To start off with, the film has a sort of John Cassavetes style to it. Very rough and hand held camera - close up, psychological drama. Which proceeds to get weirder, and weirder; and that is a very difficult thing to sell. It’s a very difficult film to even describe, in a way that doesn’t confuse people.” Rufus Sewell

What was it like, working with Emmanuelle Beart? “Working with Emmanuelle was very easy, she is a very easy person to connect with. We just immediately felt like a couple. We were very relaxed and trusting of each other. I loved working with her. It was one of the easiest, automatic relationships I’ve ever had on screen. To use an American expression, we had each other’s back; which is something that I never had to worry about, because it was just there.” Rufus Sewell

VL: You’d never worked with Emmanuelle before, had you even met each other? RS: No, never. I didn’t know what to expect, and I had seen some of her work before. It wasn’t until I went over to France for an early read-through, that we immediately hit it off – it was easy. Talking about it sounds weird, like people are expecting to see signs of it on screen. If the chemistry is there, it's all pretty straight-forward. If it's not there, it's amazingly complex to fake. But if it's there, it's amazingly work-a-day – it's just a couple and you believe them. It’s something you see on the street every day. It’s not like, “Oh my GOD, look at their chemistry!” - we were just naturally relaxed with each other, and you buy it on screen. You see couples all the time, and you don’t need to read their biography. It's something that you can work out for yourself, because you believe the basic silhouette.

VL: What was the hardest scene to film? RS: The underwater scene was quite difficult, because when she fights, she really fights. I really couldn’t point out one. As we got further and further into filming, it became more and more zombiefied.

“(Rufus Sewell) plays my husband, Paul. We had shared an absolute solidarity. At the beginning, we shared the same capacity, not for mourning, but for living with absence. During this whole period, I don’t remember having acted much. I slipped into scenes, into situations, always tied to him, like people clinging to one another. Later, we moved apart, because our characters moved apart.” Emmanuelle Béart

Interview with Rufus Sewell - 25th September, 2009

Jeanne (Emmanuelle Beart) and Paul (Rufus Sewell) are a wealthy couple who were in Thailand helping to establish an orphanage when the 2004 tsunami leveled the island. Jeanne and Paul had a young son who disappeared in the storm, and since his body has never been found, Jeanne holds out hope that he might still be alive, a hope that becomes a desperate concern when she sees a video of children being held by kidnappers in Burma which shows a child who looks like her boy. Eager to find out the truth, Paul pays a hefty fee to local outlaw Mr. Gao to escort him and Jeanne into a forbidden zone known only to Thailand's criminal underclass. The first English language project from Fabrice du Welz, VINYAN was an official selection at the 2008 Venice Film Festival. (allmovie.com)

Der Film feierte seine Premiere bei den Internationalen Filmfestspielen von Venedig am 30. August 2008.

A film by Fabrice du Welz

[visplay]

Chris: Calviare is a French horror film about a traveler who enters a super backwards region, nasty film and despite the accolades it was unnecessarily nasty and a soul sucker without a payoff, Avoid.

Richie: It was terrible, Avoid.
