. But this will be the monument’s close up.Set over 24 hours and against the backdrop of national ‘gilets jaunes’ unrest, the film will unravel a string of chance happenings that led to the fire and how it took hundreds of firefighters to quell the inferno, whose epic flames reached 1500F and tens of meters high.
We’re making a movie that will look like a fiction film but which is clearly based on a true story. It’s like a thriller: it’s emotional, touching. Thomas and I didn’t dare invent what happened. I have met a number of protagonists from the event. I was even at Notre Dame a few days ago. I have become friendly with some of the people who were right at the heart of the drama and the more I dig, the more surprising it becomes.
You know, the volunteers were amazing. They put the fate of the Cathedral above their own lives. There were many young people who were willing to put their lives on the line. Remarkably, more than one thousand precious pieces were rescued from the treasury and no one was killed. JJA
