Anatomy of a Scene is a podcast where the people behind French film and TV walk us through their creative process.

In this episode, we talked to Romane Bohringer about her work on Tell Her I Love Her, and to Rebecca Zlotowski and Anne Berest about A Private Life.

In this discussion, we look at how stories take form, slowly, personally, sometimes unexpectedly.

With Romane Bohringer, we explore the shifting line between fiction and documentary in her new movie Tell Her I Love Her: how you adapt a book that lives inside you, and how much of your own story inevitably slips into the work. 

Then we sat down to talk about A Private Life with Anne Berest and Rebecca Zlotowski, two friends who’ve turned collaboration into a kind of steady, shared rhythm. Together, we talked about what changes when you move from novels to screenwriting, from screenwriting to directing, and what friendship makes possible in a creative partnership.

An episode about the invisible gestures of storytelling, the ties that sustain us, and the unexpected paths through which ideas become stories.
