lyrastar77 for giving us a bit of this entry a little while ago. I hope it's okay that I'm doing a separate entry for this. Please feel free to suggest improvements in the translation. From here: http://blasfemandoenelvrticedeluniverso.blogspot.com/2007/02/elijah-y-leonor-amantes.html
Late, tired. I can't articulate things correctly. Today was a hard day (again). People are starting to make fun of me when I say it's been a hard day, because EVERY day is hard. Still, Elijah and Leonor made it easy, delightful, despite everything being difficult and tiresome [thorny, tricky]. What fantastic actors, God. They're an explosive pair, marvelous.
The day started out with a difficult technical problem that forced us to do over a few takes with Elijah. As if CSI were in the middle of it, there was a search for the guilty ones. It was only an accident, but accidents are expensive in this kind of productions, losing an hour is a disaster that can cost thousands of pounds. Even so we reacted in time, and Elijah didn't have any problem with filming his shot again, without a single complaint, and besides that, he managed to give me a lesson on how to behave. I was angry, flabbergasted, and I felt like breaking down and crying, like I could bite the walls. But he demonstrated truly admirable aplomb.
I also have to thank Leonor for saving me from having to use doubles for her sex scenes. I had four girls ready, two of whom seemed feasible, of them VERY feasible. However, Leonor showed that she not only didn't need it, but that the film, let's say, GAINED a lot by having her, if you understand me. I didn't want to film Last Tango [in Paris], but I did want something powerful, something to explain how happy two young people can be when they desire each other. Humbly, I do believe we've achieved that.

Date: 2007-02-07 05:26 am (UTC)On paper, it could have looked like one of those cool, weird Indie comedies like "Eternal Sunshine" or "Being John Malkovich". Instead it came out like the failed pilot for a TV series.
