- Thanks. - Hello, sir.
Cut!
You forgot something.
Shit.
Gottfried's offering a drink in the garden.
Join us when you finish wrapping up.
- Where will he use drones? - I don't know.
The day Feuillade summoned me for the terrifying train sequence,
I was rehearsing a Sacha Guitry revue.
I was petrified to ask him for the afternoon off.
So I asked his assistant to ask him.
I was about to leave. No news.
Guitry was rehearsing another play.
You're grimacing for cheap laughs.
I don't grimace, I make people laugh.
No. Only a few people laugh.
And if you were to meet those who laughed after the show,
you'd be ashamed at having amused them.
Musidora!
Finally, his assistant came to me with bad news.
What'd he say?
When I told him it was for cinema, he said no.
I'm sorry. But you know how he is.
Yes. Not very open to negotiation.
Resigned, I went to tell Mr. Feuillade that I couldn't shoot today.
He was rehearsing La Danse des Apaches at Gaumont Studio.
I'm sorry, Monsieur Feuillade.
Guitry will not allow me to shoot today.
Why not?
He needs me at 4 o'clock sharp.
4 o'clock?
No worries. You'll be there by 3:30 p.m.
Go get your costume.
That way. Hurry. Hurry!
On the way, Feuillade explained the scene.
Irma Vep hides under a train car.
Quickly exhausted, she falls to the tracks.
The train thunders over her.
Quite the scene.
- Is she our girl who falls on the rails? - Absolutely.
Better her than me. 30 railcars to endure!
Hurry, the train comes in 5 minutes.
And I guarantee it'll be on time.
Ready for set-up.
We won't wait on the tech crew.
- Musidora, lie down. Good. - A bit further back.
Hurry, the train won't be late.
Closer to the rails.
That's it.
Can I have my megaphone?
Someone?
Marie, steady the tripod.
Musidora, there's nothing to fear.
Positions, everyone!
Musidora is taking a big risk!
I'm lying on the ground.
The train cars pass over my body.
I'm a prisoner between the wheels.
As the train accelerates and the wind whips my face,
I begin counting the cars to ward off dizziness.
That was astonishing.
That was very impressive.
What bravery, Musidora!
What bravery!
Bravo!
It'll be powerful on the big screen!
Now hurry back to Sacha Guitry's rehearsal.
Thank you. Go on, run along!
Truly, I could never say no to Feuillade,
who'd given me my greatest role.
- Welcome. - Good evening.
Enjoy.
- Are you ready? - Yes, go ahead.
Ok, great.
Excuse me, one last rehearsal.
You're alive.
Last rehearsal.
Get ready.
Action!
