On Wednesday May 12, Alexandre Aja's latest film, "Oxygène", played by Mélanie Laurent, is released on Netflix. In an interview for Le Parisien, the French actress returned to a very particular scene...
1h40, locked up. We have been living this scene punctually for more than a year now. A habit taken to the extreme in one of the latest Netflix releases. Since Wednesday, May 12, the film “Oxygen”, directed by Alexandre Aja, has been available on the streaming platform.
This is the story of a woman who wakes up in a cryogenic chamber. Cryo-what? Cryogenization is supposed to preserve the bodies of the deceased thanks to a very low temperature, with the aim of perhaps one day being able to “resuscitate”.
Mélanie Laurent plays the role of one of these people. Victim of memory problems, she is locked in this “box”. She will gradually understand thanks to the various screens and buttons present inside. She must get out as soon as possible, because time is running out:the level of oxygen in the chamber is decreasing...
An extraordinary filming, of which the French actress revealed some behind the scenes in an interview at Parisian. If the cloistered character obviously guides the film, a very specific passage risks making more than one shudder. Mélanie Laurent had visitors in her box, and not just a few. 200 rats were placed there . However, she claims not to have “flinched” during this scene:
You can't say we didn't warn you...
