AP: How scripted was this film? Both of the "2 Days" movies have a naturalistic feel of controlled chaos. Delpy: It's pretty scripted. But I hate when people say a line and they feel it's not their line, so I'll go rewrite a scene if I need to, ten minutes before. I hate when it feels acted. I hate to see the performance acting
-- when you see the actor acting. I don't like that kind of acting. That's why I loved (Robert) Altman so much. AP: These two films made me think of him. Delpy: Altman is like my top, one of my favorite directors. It seems painless, flawless. Rock: I was supposed to be in his last one. (Delpy gasps) "Hands on a Hard Body." We were talking a lot, working on this character and he died. That's the story of my career. I always meet the head of the studio the day before he gets fired. AP: Is it chaotic creating that Altman-esque atmosphere, especially being both in front of the camera and behind? Delpy: Not at all. It's sometimes chaotic in the pace because I'm very quick in shooting. I push people around a little bit. Obviously when you're filming, you can't have people talking on top of each other because you can't edit it. So basically you shoot one part and then you shoot another part and then you make it feel like it's all messy and chaotic. It's kind of like a choreography. AP: Both of these films are largely about the trials of loving someone. It reminds me, Chris, of your great stand-up line: "You're either married and bored or single and lonely. Ain't no happiness nowhere." Rock: It's pretty much what life boils down to. Delpy: It's so depressing. (Both laugh) Life is miserable. Rock: If you're paying attention.
