I often feel that I write novels the way a filmmaker would; it is as if I was making my film, Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, the way a writer composes a novel. Today, as a man who relentlessly questions the world, I believe I have found a kind of equilibrium - like a the tightrope walker - by mixing two forms of approaches: that of the writer who uses words and locks himself away when he works, and that of the filmmaker, who mixes sounds, words and movements as well as the effects of the film stock, light and human matter, and can only work surrounded by people.
Once the shooting was finished, and the film completed, I didn't feel I was done with that project. The desire to explore it anew, to look at it from a distance and with words (those of the writer? Of the filmmaker?) emerged. I watched all the stills taken while we were filming; I leafed through the script again; I thought about the set, the actresses, the technicians, the extras, the framing - all kinds of elements that brought me back to that moment when a film is born, to the anxiety (mine and others'), the discoveries, difficulties and wonders of it. In other words, I tried to do a making of of a particular kind. One that would help me come to terms with that double nature of mine. And I feel that thanks to this little book that can be read also like a fragmented autobiography, I continue to tighten the rope that I have walked for so long. -- Philippe Claudel
