Shutter Island, based on the Dennis Lehane novel, marks DiCaprio’s fourth collaboration with Scorsese. “What’s interesting about him is that he places all his trust in you as an actor and in your opinion of how your character works”explains the actor.

“Of course, you have to earn that trust on your side, and from the smallest role to the main roles, everyone must arrive having worked on their character and understood who they are”he continues. “You must have thought long and hard about developing the person you become on set.”

And the actor to conclude: “Even though he knows what he wants, I believe Martin also navigates through his actors to find his ultimate goal in character maturation. It’s extraordinary to watch. Martin Scorsese is a master at the art of to show, to reveal human nature.”

“I knew from reading the script that there would be significant personal research to do”DiCaprio says of the Blood Diamond experience. “This is one of the aspects that immediately attracted me to this film. We all had to immerse ourselves in this world and collect first-hand accounts. Having to play a man from Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), he It was important for me to hear local people speak. All of this was a unique experience for me.”

The shooting of Blood Diamond was particularly eventful. Thus, DiCaprio would have literally saved the life of his partner Djimon Hounsou when this one was the target of a killer in Mozambique. According to Hounsou, Leo would have come between him and the sniper, causing the intruder to flee, who was then on the verge of shooting him.

INCEPTION (2010)

Warner Bros. France

Instead of stealing a dream, an experienced thief and his team must do the opposite: plant an idea in an individual’s mind.

Nolan, fascinated by dreams, looks back on the period during which he imagined Inception. “I was then fascinated by dreams and by the relationship between our daytime life and our nightlife”says the filmmaker. “The fact that the elements of a dream – whether distressing, joyful or supernatural – are produced by our own minds has always struck me as an interesting paradox: what this reveals about the potential of the imaginary is absolutely extraordinary. I started to think about how we could use that in a spectacular action film with a very human dimension.”

Quentin Tarantino initially saw the character Calvin Candie older, but the interest of DiCaprio for the film forced him to reconsider. “I then set about reconfiguring Candie as a kind of young Caligula”, says the filmmaker. “His great-grandfather created this business of cotton exploitation, and his grandfather continued after him and made it a profitable business. His father, then, further increased the profits.”

“Calvin is the fourth Candie to lead the company and he’s grown weary”continues Tarantino. “He doesn’t care about cotton, that’s why he deals with slave fights. He’s a kind of flamboyant young prince, a Louis XIV at Versailles.”
