“I would have found that obscene”
For the realization of this film, Cédric Jimenez did not wish to film scenes representing the attacks. “I would have found it obscene, truly obscene… If I had read the slightest effect to that effect, I would never have made the film. What I liked was that it was the opposite point of view We didn’t stage the attacks or the victims. The only time the film does it is in the hospital, but it’s only from the perspective of the investigation. And it’s on the frame, in trying to be as modest as possible”, he explained. And for the story to be as true as reality, the director spoke at length with the members of the anti-terrorist squad.
