Screen’s Cannes Close-Up interview series talks to executive producer Nicolas Royer co-founder of Voulez Vous Production Services about recreating Hollywood in France for Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance.

Royer discusses the advanges of filming in France, from stages with history to VFX, and of showing Demi Moore the magic of the Épinay-Sur-Seine studios, where classics like Jean Renoir’s The Rules Of The Game were shot.

The French producer also discusses the joy of discovering Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague, in Competition in Cannes, and applauds the talent that has recreated the 1959 Paris where Godard shot Breathless, “a great example of what we can do in France.”

This edition of Cannes Close-Up is sponsored by Film France by CNC.
