The film is drawn from memories: of events, stories, but also of feelings,

moods. It enables me to speak about them a little bit, although it's

impossible to really describe what it's like to be a teenager. I've wanted

to tell the tale of this gang of four girls for years, even before I made

"Forget Me." But, until meeting Florence Syvos, who stuck with the film

from the beginning to the end, the desire was vague and confused. I was

afraid of being superficial, having an adult view of adolescence. Before

starting the script with Florence, I asked a friend to do separate

interviews with me and my three childhood friends. We all said how our

getting together had changed our lives. It was something we'd never dared

admit to each other because it was too sentimental for a gang of tough guys

like us to say¡Æ That's the feeling which counted in the film, knowing that

my friendship with these three girls had changed me.
