In Alice Douard’s Des preuves d’amour, presented at Critics’ Week, Ella Rumpf plays a young woman whose wife is pregnant with their future child. A woman and future mother, but not pregnant, in 2014, just after the law authorizing same-sex marriage was passed, she tries to collect "proof of love", testimonials from her loved ones that will allow her to legally adopt her child. While facing the doubts and concerns of any future parent, she must also overcome judgment and reconnect with her mother, played by Noémie Lvovsky, whose testimony will be crucial. To accompany this intimate and original subject matter with all the accuracy, sensitivity, and originality it requires, director of photography Jacques Girault tells us about his visual choices, from preparation to shooting.
