Watch on Deadline
CLEMENT DUCOL: We were involved five years ago, actually.
So, for him it was like his movie was already existing.
CAMILLE: It was quite thrilling for us to be involved.
Zoe Saldaña as Rita Moro Castro in ‘Emilia Pérez.‘Shanna Besson/PAGE 114/WHY NOT PRODUCTIONS/PATHÉ FILMS/FRANCE 2 CINÉMA
We were witnessing a story being built under our very eyes, under our very ears.
CAMILLE: Jacques told us youve got all these corrupted people around and theyre frozen.
DEADLINE: Youre also nominated for the score as well.
Did that come after the songwriting?
DUCOL: Yes, because we needed to write the story of the film with the songs with Jacques.
And I like the fact that with the score, we didnt have to hide the songs.
CAMILLE: It took us time to find the right direction.
It allowed us to cross genres too.
It can do anything with vocals and evoke so many things.
We also attempt to make the sounds from the story overlap in the score.
So, it helps the unbelievable become believable, and it also helps to enchant reality.
And that was one of Jacques first pitches about what he wanted on the movie.
He wanted us to enchant the world.
