About the Anything for Her 💬
- The chase is on.
With no legal means left to him, a high school teacher devises a daring plan to rescue his wrongfully imprisoned wife from jail.
Happily-married couple Lisa (Diane Kruger) and Julien (Vincent Lindon) lead a quiet life with their son Oscar (Lancelot Roch). But one morning their lives are turned upside down when the police arrest Lisa for murder. She is condemned to a twenty-year prison sentence.
Convinced of his wife's innocence, and having exhausted all legal avenues, Julien decides to help Lisa escape from prison. But is he truly prepared to do 'anything for her'?
''They didn't know it was impossible, so they did it.''
Mark Twain
Anything For Her is an atmospheric thriller, an urban movie in which a regular guy sets out on a solitary and apparently impossible quest to break his wife out of the jail where she has been imprisoned since being wrongly convicted of murder.
The film is not about the law or about a miscarriage of justice like those that have recently made the headlines. The most righteous of the righteous would have convicted Lisa simply because fate put her in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could happen to you, me, anyone... Her husband can't accept the destruction of their lives and decides to carry on the fight whatever the cost.
The movie is about courage, or rather what makes a person act with courage. Why, when someone's being attacked, do some people intervene and others look away? During the Occupation, why did some people join the Resistance while others, equally upstanding citizens didn't?
With the few weapons at his disposal, the husband decides to act. He has to overcome many obstacles, working ''undercover'' because talking about it with anyone could wreck his whole scheme. As he is alone for much of the movie, the narrative relies as much on what we see as on what is said, which invests the settings and atmosphere with even greater importance. That's why the lighting and framing are vital. First of all, the format will be 2:35 Cinemascope, which will allow me to give the movie real cinematic grounding.
Of course, the audience has to relate entirely to the action and characters, but the movie has to stay in what I would call ''reality +2'' to keep the ''entertaining'' feel that is crucial for this type of movie. Then, to get that ''cinematic'' effect, the lighting has to showcase the sets and characters by underlining their emotions. Nothing should be gratuitous. Everything is driven by the story.
Julien's ''quest'' takes him to various parts of Paris and the suburbs: bustling, modern locales or, conversely, places that have been abandoned and forgotten, but both share a singular and very striking esthetic aspect.

My film is not noir. As I said before, I want it to be entertaining and suspenseful, but it still raises a much darker question. How much wrong can you do in order to do what you think is right? It's a question that affects us all.
