Le grande cirque - The Making of Roselyne and the Lions (1989)

Le grande cirque = The Grand circus, a feature-length documentary on the making of Roselyne and the lions (78 min.); and Jean-Jacques Beineix interview. Bruno Delbonnel's 78-minute behind-the-scenes documentary The Grand Circus (4x3, burnt-in subtitles) spans the entire shooting of Roselyne and the Lions. In the mold of Direct Cinema, the documentary features no voice-over or interviews, not even a title card explaining the premise of the movie or the people in it. It jumps straight into the on-set footage, which reveals that working with Beineix is a bit like working with an asshole. You hear about directors who treat their actors like equals and ones who boss them around like dictators, and there's no question which category Beineix falls into. He refers to his actors' performances with phrases like "Shitville" and "Toiletteville." Early in the documentary, when one actor doesn't shove another correctly, he declares, "Actors are worse than maneaters!" But the best moment is a rambling on-set announcement that everyone is great except Gérard Sandoz, who is complete shit. Whether or not you think Beineix's methods work, watching it gets old after a while. I must admit that when I glanced at the counter and saw that I was 40 minutes in, I wasn't terribly enthusiastic that I still had half the movie ahead of me. I've certainly found more insight into the filmmaking process in shorter periods of time.
