We both know its true.” “Don’t you dare talk to me about my mother.” “Darling, don’t you understand? She had to die. You lost someone, and you are afraid to love. And in scenes like this, people can get hurt. Promises a lot, then disappoints.” “O.K.” “I deserve better.” It’s also a very physical scene. “The Chablis.” “May I? Mm, a bit like you. You know, this monster that sits behind this Frenchness, this sophistication, this kind of politesse. At a certain point, she kind of reveals herself to be an absolute monster, which is the fun of the scene, which is the center of the character, really. She knows how to hold a table in a restaurant. Because she is a character with about four different layers to her, and I suppose this is a scene where all those layers are expressed. It’s what you are, my darling.” And the fact that, at a certain point, she reveals herself to be Hungarian. Those elements really were the scene, you know? I mean, Isabelle’s sophistication, her Frenchness. We managed to get a great costume from Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel. We had a lot of discussion about the costume - the sophistication, the Frenchness of it. “I’ll start with the crab bisque and a small green salad.” “Why are you doing this?” “Because we have to talk.” “I have nothing to say to you.” The clothes that the central character, Greta, wears was extremely important. Everything was designed to kind of ratchet up the humiliation of the central character, Frances. We would allow for these long, fluid kind of shots. We wanted an environment where the traffic of the waiters to and fro the tables was fluid. This woman has been harassing me and you need to ask her to leave.” “I’m afraid she has a reservation.” “What kind of service is this?” So we designed the restaurant specifically around this scene - the shape of it, the table lights, the pools of light from above, and the mirrors. One of the final straws of Greta’s attempts to invade Frances’s life is when she books a table at the restaurant she works. I’m the director of “Greta.” Frances, played by Chloë Moretz, is a waitress in this New York restaurant, and she’s being pursued by this woman, played by Isabelle Huppert, called Greta.
