Jean Paul Belmondo Quitte le Plateau Après 25 Prises — Le Chaos

September 1973, on the set of "Stavisky." Jean-Paul Belmondo facing director Alain Resnais. The same scene. Again and again. 10 takes. 20 takes. 25 takes. Resnais wants to continue. Belmondo says no. "That's sadism, not cinema." He takes off his costume in front of 80 witnesses. Leaves the set. Filming stops for a week. The producer loses hundreds of thousands of francs. François Truffaut intervenes as mediator. A compromise is reached: a maximum of 30 takes per scene. The film is released in 1974 with palpable tension on screen. Belmondo and Resnais never work together again. Discover the day France's biggest star said no to the most respected director and changed the rules of French cinema.
