In directing her leads, she would even count out the number of steps they would take toward one another, so as to control the tempo and pace. Sciamma knew that decision would force her to find the musicality in the rhythm of the scenes and movements of the actors. Prior to this scene, there is no music in the film. We wanted to convoke the imagery around witches.” It’s cold, so there’s a fire, and they might do drugs, you know, they fly. “In the meantime saying, ‘Well, you know, it’s just women gathering, living their friendship, exchanging knowledge, wise women, doctors, whatever, and, you know, drinking. “It was a way to also convoke the imagery witches,” said Sciamma. In addition to mirroring the rising of emotions that propel the transition, Sciamma also wanted the chanting and gathering around the fire to reference the 18th-century concept of witchcraft. The transition from putting out the fire on Héloïse’s dress is a fluid match cut to the lovers leading each other to their hidden spot on the beach where they will finally kiss.

They’re saying, ‘fugere non possum,’ which means ‘they come fly,'” said Sciamma. In an effort to get a song that had the beats per minute, polyphonic, and polyrhythmic qualities she needed, Sciamma decided to write the lyrics herself. I wanted just the voice and the clapping of women.” It was all very instrumental, and I wanted no instruments. “But I wanted it to be kind of a trance, I wanted the BPMs to be very high, and didn’t find something. “I listened to a lot of old melodies from the time some of them we are still singing to our kids to bed,” said Sciamma.
