The Drummer of Ravel's Boléro

00:00:09 The idea of this short film came a long time ago.

00:00:30 is because l couldn't help thinking

00:01:00 which means that if the drummer feels low.

00:01:18 That's where the idea came from. it's as simple as that.

00:01:39 With a professional drummer.

00:01:56 to insure that the side drum and the sticks were off-screen.

00:02:13 to what surrounds him.

00:02:35 as if this was a TV programme.

00:02:55 his back hurts. he fidgets on his chair.

00:03:19 At the beginning. the music is calm

00:03:40 l had already made a few feature films.

00:03:53 l was wondering if it was really worth it.

00:04:08 So l shot the Bolero's drummer

00:04:28 and the drummer is surrounded by all the drums.

00:04:49 What's funny is that we needed a full orchestra to shoot that shot.

00:05:10 but he manages to express so much

00:05:32 he is totally overwhelmed;

00:05:49 a wife who is not nice all of the time.

00:06:08 and the public gives a standing ovation.

00:06:27 it is nice to put it on screen.

00:06:49 Hold on. one has to hold on!

00:07:05 Here we go. banging more and more.

00:07:25 before we shot the real thing.

02:00:02 - the duration of the Bolero -
