I had one short scene leaving the house that my husband and I will eventually move into. The movie is, after all, called “…And If We All Lived Together.” Well, we do in the end and it’s lots of fun, but here we still have to go home after a fun birthday party to let the dog out.
I got to back to the apartment where I am taking advantage of this free afternoon and evening to work on my book.
Richard will call soon. He is in a large studio in L.A. Recording the huge string section –some 45 musicians–for his new Rod Stewart album. I wish I was there to hear and watch what he says is the most exciting part of producing and not all albums have big string sections. Everyone who hears this album in the making says it’s historic. Richard wants me to listen to a little of the sessions over the phone and a colleague of his is videoing it.
We shot a scene leaving a birthday lunch we just had
I'm glad I had the cape cause it was chilly
Waiting to be called into action. We have a good time talking and laughing. Everyone's funny!
Fabienne, Kesso with Tulea, Karina (back to camera) and Dominique, waiting in "kitchen" to touch us up between takes
The tent where we eat
It's Guy's birthday and they had a cake for him
The tree looks lovely, doesn't it? Guess what? It's fake, made of cloth.
Part of the livingroom where we all end up living together--filled with film equipment
The kitchen--actually the diningroom for the family who live here
lovely tall ceilings and an arched door into the livingroom
This garden will be turned into a swimming pool so that Geraldine's (Annie's) grandchildren will want to come and see her.
The caterers who feed us every day--very good!

Thanks for sharing. It’s great to see the behind the scenes of movie making, and it’s great to see you doing film again.

Hello, Jane,
I posted last friday a message in the “Ask Jane” category, which apparently didn’t arrive.
We’re member of a forum dedicated to Daniel. He’s turning 32 today and we were wondering if you could wish him a happy birthday from us and tell him we left him messages on our forum. (He already knows who we are)
Could you do that please ?
Thanks in advance and bonne chance with your film,
the members of http://www.danielbruhl.com
Jane
will do so, xx

Hi Jane
I just had to write again. Your daughter looks such a ‘mensch’, a good soul, and there’s so much of you in her face.
Lovely.
Take care
Jason

This is such fun learning a bit about movie-making! Thank you so much. European films always seem more “natural”, less “processed” than American films. I’m not sure how to explain what I mean, but the lighting seems to be more “real” in European films. Am I imagining that or is there a different technique used with respect to lighting / filters etc? Perhaps it is simply the natural background of the different countries – countries in Europe and America certainly “feel” very different in real life too.

This home is so pretty…love the tall ceilings and arched doorways! I especially liked the room with lots of windows off the kitchen! I enjoyed seeing everything…..the house, the garden, the film equipment in the living room, the caterers, the fake tree, and, of course, the pics of you and the other actors and all the other people working on the film!:) All of you look so happy! It’s always FUN to check your blog!:) I never know what I’ll find!! Take care!
