And Gaumont had made it clear that since I had the final cut, I would not change even the smallest detail. A fact that didn\u2019t stop him from trying to bully his way into redoing the film in his own way. As he always does with films.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He had already tried to do so in 1991 with <em>Delicatessen<\/em>. An English editor came to me with a list of all suggested cuts. He was going to remove the scene with the creaking bed, Ms. Interligator\u2019s suicide\u2026 in short, all the funniest scenes. Caro and I patiently listened and then suggested one more cut: \u00ab\u00a0removing our names from the credits\u00a0\u00bb. The editor left shaking his finger at us, \u201cYou haven\u2019t heard the last from Harvey Weinstein!\u00a0\u00bb After that I expected to find my dog&rsquo;s head on my bed one morning &#8230; Finally, having not yet signed with UGC, the film was released without the cuts, in spite of Mr Weinstein\u2026and would eventually become a cult film. 10 years later the same thing happened with <em>Amelie<\/em>. We had five Oscar nominations. But we were out of luck. That was the year that the Academy, tired of Weinstein\u2019s vote-collecting \u201cabuse\u201d, decided to boycott his films. \u201cWe will not vote for Am\u00e9lie\u201d, wrote the American industry magazines. Whoopy Goldberg, president of the ceremony, spent the entire ceremony making fun of Weinstein. The result being, out of 19 nominations, he won only one Oscar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Weinstein is like a gallery owner that says to a painter: \u201cAmericans don\u2019t like green, so I&rsquo;ll ask the framer to use blue\u201d &#8230; Weinstein is actually all about power. Like a dog marking a tree, he MUST change all the movies he buys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, he forced a \u201choldback\u201d on Gaumont, which meant that no non-Francophone country could release the film before him. So <em>Spivet<\/em> remained blocked for 8 months. As the holdback ended in June, in some countries, like England or Spain, it was released in the middle of the World Cup.
