![]() Meander is available on VOD platforms July 9. ![]() So, she literally discovered some sets and monsters during the shoot! That was intense, but she had a great idea, and it helped the movie a lot.” You know, she didn’t have any prep, because she came very late on the film (we had to change the casting at the last moment), and we could have delayed the shoot, but she asked to use the ‘non-prep’ approach and use it for the character. How lead actress Weiss remained calm during the difficult shoot remains a mystery, even to Turi! “ I really don’t know ,” he says. Everything was a challenge, but it was so cool to do.” We also had to invent machinery, like the little ‘box on wheels’ with the camera inside, to have very long and fast shots from inside the tube. El tubo es una película dirigida por Mathieu Turi con Gaia Weiss, Peter Franzén, Romane Libert, Frédéric Franchitti. So, you can put the little part in the tube and have crazy claustrophobic shots and movements. We used the Sony Venice 6K with the Rialto system, a crazy invention that permits you to split the physical body of the camera and just use a little part of it, with the other part outside, linked by a cable. Every panel of the tube was movable, to shoot and move the camera. “I wanted long and complicated shots, always in movement, and for that, we needed to construct some crazy sets and machinery. “During the prep, I asked everybody to push the envelope and find ideas not to be stuck technically,” Turi explains. Of course, shooting in such a narrow, confined space presented its share of challenges. It was very important to me to keep this idea.” You want her to succeed and, like her, you want to know what’s outside, what’s at the end of the tube. I wanted the audience not to be outside, but literally with Lisa. It’s like being a spectator at a gladiator fight. “I love the fact that, in that kind of movie, as a viewer, you want to watch people suffer, and you enjoy it. It was terrifying, even if nothing actually happens in the scene! That was my main inspiration for Meander.”Ĭomparisons to the Cube and Saw series seem inevitable, but Turi immediately points out a key difference. And I remembered a scene from James Cameron’s Aliens, where the android Bishop needs to crawl in a tube. So, my idea was to have the opposite: one person who must move. “In that kind of movie, the general idea is often to have one person in one place where it’s not possible to move. ![]() To know why she’s there and how to get out, Lisa will have to confront memories of her dead daughter… “I was looking for a high-concept idea, set in one space, but I really wanted to do something different,” says Turi of Meander’s genesis. The captive has no choice but to crawl into safe sections to survive. Lisa quickly understands that every ten minutes, fire burns through an occupied section of the tube. Strapped to her arm is a bracelet with a digital countdown. In the award-winning film, poor Lisa (Gaïa Weiss from Vikings) gets a car ride from an unknown man (Peter Franzén, also of Vikings) and wakes up in a large, endless tube. ![]()
