Q. (In French)?
A. (In French).

Q. This is a question for Jan Archibald. Congratulations. There are a few of you ladies working in France on the film. How did it work?
A. It worked very well. Every job is the same and we got along well. We were a good team. We came together, and sometimes the language was a bit of a barrier, and my French is very poor, but we communicated with one another. And it was a challenge and a wonderful challenge.

Q. Hello. Congratulations. I want to know exactly how much convincing it took to ask Marion Cotillard to shave her eyebrows.
A. She shaved her eyebrows and hairline going back a couple of inches and she was um, it wasn't a problem. She was out free and wanted to look as good as possible, and there was no problem. And it was discussed and we just did it.

Q. And whose suggestion was it? Yours?
A. Yes. There was a collaboration. You discuss the look and how to achieve it before you discuss it with the actress. So it was a kind of an obvious thing to do, to shave the eyebrows and also take the hairline back. So it's just part of the job.

Q. Thank you. Congratulations.
A. Thank you.
