Alba Baptista Spills Secrets on Making of ‘Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris’ | In-Depth Scoop

Stranger, the movie is about this woman who is brave enough to put her life on hold to aspire to dream big and follow her dreams and create new ones as well and, um, seek a new reality, which is true, Natasha , my character, she is one. Of the Dior models, she is the one that at the time we meet her in the movie, she is the face of the Dior house, so that's half, she has quite a reputation among Dior and the upper class, however, struggles with existential questions. and Life Choices, like I mentioned before, where she wonders if this is the right path she took and Natasha is such a beautiful, dense character to me because there's a big mystery behind her and this is what Tony and I really want to happen. , is the mystery behind her where does she come from how did she get there is she french where is she? who she is and that is for the viewer to believe her own conclusions, which is beautiful.

I was very nervous about that scene and I think it's the big scene of the movie in terms of, you know, for all the departments it was a big scene, so they've been talking about the scene for years, so there's a big responsibility and I weigh in on it, and of course, we train. With a choreographer I did my own research. I dove deep into becoming her before a couple of days before the scene with my hands with my feet with the way I walk with my hips and everything because it's so different how models walk today. compared to the '50s, back then it was all about the dress, I think, and to really sell the direction, and it's its greatest grace, it's a big challenge, it's harder than it looks, but we had rehearsals with the dresses and the models.

Fantastic, everyone did such a good job, such a good job, most of the dresses for the show were made exclusively for me so I only got to try them on like a week before the shoot, but Jenny just has a vision, even if If you don't know what's going on, you can feel confident that she knows and, uh, that's the best way to work. Tony is such a kind and caring human being and it shows in his work that he wants to be involved. with every department on set and

making

everyone feel comfortable and this is a big shoot, there's a lot to handle and he's doing it very well um I think we're all very lucky and he he's the perfect person to make this movie. and give him justice and truth and yes, it is an honor to have known him and to have worked with him.

It is truly an honor. Leslie is the vision of an actress and she is just so incredibly beautifully kind as a human being and also as an actress, of course, but it's so easy that you know that watching her is such an inspiration because she doesn't have a whole process that

goes

into it. excludes from the world, no, she is. so connected to everyone and that's and she's given me so much incredible advice that I will take for life and I'm just so grateful for her with Lucas, obviously we're like the kids on set. So we've become amazing friends and I think we're very similar in our ambitions and our requirements as actors and what we want to be and our expectations and everything, so we're tough on each other. and we lift each other up, which is wonderful to film on the Dior set which is the exact replica of the old deer house um it's quite magical really uh it's so perfectly imitated and created um and you do it if you allow it Getting lost in this set, it's like you enter this Twilight Zone, where you almost think you're in the '50s and then you look around and all the extras look perfect and beautiful and the details are fantastic.

I really hope that the world

goes

and sees this movie because it is very special and it will make you feel good after leaving the theater and after a year so full of obstacles, I think we all deserve to have these little moments where we can escape and this is a movie. where you can really escape, smile and feel love for your main character and all the other foreign characters.
