Chimeres absentes

When I first spoke with Fanny Ardant regarding the look of the film, she said she wanted it to be timeless. The film deals with the prejudices against Roma people.I tried to portray the richness of their culture through the costumes. I used bold prints and an unusual combination of color seeing that there was a certain freedom from structure. For the lead male actor, a black silky shirt and black trousers. The red silk scarf provided a dash of color, he used the scarf as a prop during the dance scene in the rain.
