Ce qui est très joli dans le processus de travail, c'est que en se mettant un tout petit peu à la place du spectateur, en dézoomant par rapport à une expérience personnelle, on peut travailler sur des choses passionnantes au niveau de l'arène, du dispositif, des personnages... Et vraiment, s'affranchir de toute une expérience personnelle, pour en produire une pure expérience cinématographique.
