CESC GAY

I imagined FICTION like a pause in the life of a person.

Ten days where Alex’s life seems to stop and rush out of him.

And with his life left behind, he can contemplate it while marching with an unexpected love that, without a warning, came like him to these mountains.


FICTION is my first love story.

I promised myself to give to this intimist comedy a smile.

Cesc Gay talks

Does Fiction fit in continuity with your precedent films Krampack (Nico & Dani) and In the City?

Ficción, as well as “Krampack (Nico & Dani)” and “In the City” are films that have a structure in function of characters that don’t express what and how they feel. About feelings that we hold back either consciously or that the essence of the character is contention, the zeal of intimacy in an extreme way, as a way to protect himself from the intrusion of the other or even from the intrusion of himself. Even though these characters belong to different generations and are in different situations and circumstances, in the three films they are build and structured in the same way: the spectator is the only observer of what really happens, the only person able to understand them. The three films are focused on little details, without a main plot structuring the story and the three films have an opening end, without a determinate conclusion. These films intend to leave the spectator in a certain emotion. Just like it happens with the music.


It’s the second film you do with Eduard Fernández, how is your relationship?

I wrote Eduard Fernandez’s character for “In the city” before I even met him. He was the only character of the film that I wrote with an actor in mind. Then I contacted him through my wife. They had worked together before, and his wife also knew mine. I think this made it all easier to develop a more intimate and fluent relationship that the one a director usually has with his actors. A more familiar one. Eduard accepted to play the role almost immediately and that moment was really determining for the whole project.

Our relationship grew during the filming of “In the city” and when it ended I already had him in mind for my next film. Eduard trusted me entirely in an irresponsible way, he agreed to make another movie with me although he knew almost nothing about it and he followed me in my constant changes of direction in the whole process of the writing. I remember his patience, encouraging me when I told him I gave up a script I had almost finished. Time past and finally the script and the idea of “Fiction” became more and more concrete and we started. It has been a process of work really different and the first time I’ve made a film that has only one main character and in this particular case Alex, the main character, was an alter ego of me as he is a filmmaker. I needed more than ever an accomplice, a kind of partner and Eduard has been that all along.

To work with Eduard is easy and difficult at the same time. He’s a very demanding actor to a director; he thinks a lot about everything and he is always questioning it all which causes an important creative tension. This is something I value and I take advantage of it. In fact we have found each other as two obsessive workers and I suppose our relationship is based on this, among many other things…


Is FICTION Autobiographical?

The movie talks about something that concerns a lot of people of our generation that live in couple and have raised a family like Alex, the main character. Cinema would usually approach the subject of the unfaithful one, the one who has an affair and even the one who breaks a family. I wanted to make a film about the things we don’t live, we don’t experience, things we repress and that we don’t even talk about. I think that those things are often felt with more intensity. Once again I talk about intimate feelings that we don’t share. At the end I needed, even though it’s just for the last scene, that the characters express those feelings. It could be autobiographical but it could be to anyone in these circumstances.


How did you approach a chronological shooting?

Being able to shoot chronologically meant to me as well as to Eduard an open door to a certain improvisation; or to a different way of shooting each day. With the faculty of being less prisoners of the screenplay and being able to add things that weren’t planned ahead. It was physically determinant to Eduard. His looks, his physical aspect changes throughout the film and if you have to obtain this in an artificial way the results are never satisfactory.
