It's been 12 years since MarcelTheShellWithShoesOn debuted as a short film. Now, Marcel is back as a full-length film.
Slate and Camp then brought on Nick Paley as a co-writer and pitched a treatment to nonprofit organization Cinereach, who ultimately funded the film — but they never wrote a script. All dialogue was improvised, making room for such gems as, “[A documentary] is like a movie, but nobody has any lines and nobody even knows what it is while they’re making it! No?”about taking the tiny hero to the big screen, death by balloon and her favorite outtakes from the film.
Tell me about recording with Isabella Rossellini, who plays Marcel’s grandmother, Nana Connie. How did you manage to get her involved? Was she a fan of Marcel already? There’s a fundamental loneliness or sadness in the feature film that is lightly present in the original shorts. Did you always see him as a character in grief?
There’s a really fine line there. Because it’s beautiful to care well for our elders. I think it’s an essential thing to do for your older relatives, to give them good, thoughtful, specific care. It’s an honor for Marcel to be able to do that. I don’t think he would take anyone up on their offer to do it for him. But oftentimes, we can allow our fears to hide within behaviors that are actually positive. It can be really confusing.
