'''Moi... Lolita'''

Director: Laurent BOUTONNAT

Starring: Alizée (Lolita), Jérôme DEVOISE (boy), Anne-Marie PISANI (mother), Liliana (younger sister)

Production: REQUIEM PUBLISHING

Format: 35mm

Duration: 4'40 min

First shown: 26 July 2000 on M6

The video shoot took two days. The nightclub shots, filmed in the famous Paris club Les Bains Douches, required over a hundred extras. As for the interminable barley fields and Lolita's simple house, the production team found these near Senlis.

This was the first time Alizée was filmed for a video clip. But she was not the only one to perform in front of the camera for the first time. The boy and Alizée's younger sister in the video had never been filmed before either.

L'Alize

Director: Pierre STINE

Director of photography: Aldo Piscina

The video clip was filmed in a Brussels studio. A 25 by 10 metre canvas painted especially for the occasion was required to decorate the studio.

All the bubbles are real soap bubbles (even the one encompassing Alizée) blown onto the set by a bubble artist as the video was filmed.

Parler Tout Bas

Director: Laurent BOUTONNAT

Director of photography: Jean-Marie DREUJOU

The video was filmed in two days entirely on location. Both the tree where the dolls are perched and Alizée's bedroom in the video are natural settings.

Ten girls were chosen to play the living dolls. Hand-painted thermally moulded masks were specially made for the occasion. Their dresses were inspired by the dresses of antique dolls. And by Alizée's side, you will surely recognise the boy who played in the "Moi... Lolita" video.

Gourmandises

Director: Nicolas HIDIROGLOU

Director of photography: Christophe POLLOCK

The video was shot in a day. It was all filmed on location in a property close to Paris. The young girls and boys who go to the picnic with Alizée are young actors and models found by the casting director.

J'en Ai Marre

Director: Olivier MEGATON

The clip has been filmed in Parisian studios in two days. On a white cyclo bottom, a true cage made of plexiglass had been constructed for the filming. The dimension of the cage is 3 meters by 3 meters (cube). To get into the cage Alizée had to use ladders against the outside and interior partitions of the cage. The clip has been made in two languages, since an English version of "J'en ai marre" ("I'm fed up") exists for countries abroad.

Jai Pas Vingt Ans

Director: Laurent BOUTONNAT

The first and last shot of this video have been filmed outside. You can see Alizée sitting on a bench. The rest of the video is filmed in a studio. She's dressed in a pink dress and silver boots. The decor of the studio represents the scene of a concert with lots of spotlights and dancers among Alizée.

A Contre Courant

Director: Pierre STINE

Chief Operation: Jean POISSON

The video has been filmed in Belgium in two days. The setting, a huge coal factory, is natural. The coal factory is closed and abandoned since many years. The man who appears in the video is a true contortionist.

"A contre-courant" is the second collaboration between Alizée and Pierre Stine. He already made the video "L'Alizé".

Quotes

 * I have always been shy.
 * I'm very fond of my name and it has a story behind it. My parents love windsurfing and chose to call me Alizée after a type of wind of the same name.
 * I am, of course, delighted (on seeing her pictures in French and foreign magazines) but I don't like looking at myself. In fact, I'm very critical about myself.
 * I like boys to be gentle, kind and loving. But the most important quality for me is fidelity. An unfaithful boy is not a boy for me.
 * I wouldn't like to say (of plans in the near future) because I am very superstitious. So, I hope things will carry on as they are now.
 * My true pleasure in this business is singing before an audience. These are very happy moments. I'm always a little nervous before getting out there, but once I'm on stage I could never stop.
 * Hypocrisy! That really irritates me. When I'm very naive, I find everybody sympathetic.
 * I don't want to tell it (the most romantic thing anybody has done to her). It's a secret. It was my ex-boyfriend, the new one will not be happy to hear it!
 * My weakness are sweets. I love "winegums" in the shape of bears, especially the red ones. It is thanks to my desire for sweets that one of my songs is called "Gourmandises", which is also the title of my album.
 * I'm very shy and reserved. But I'm also generous and very stubborn. It seems that I always have to be right in everything. I don't like to lie and either way I can't even lie.
 * I like almost every style of clothing: sports, skirts, Jeans. I like all colours. I especially wear colourful clothes with a clear preference for pink."
 * I talk a lot about nature in my songs because I always think of my land of birth. The island is truly magnificent: one can go to the sea, walk in de mountains and ski on the high mountains.
 * I miss the sea (of Ajaccio, her homeland) when I'm in Paris.
 * In any case, being sexy includes being natural. Anything can be sexy, except vulgarity.
 * (Regarding whether she believes in fortune) Yes, absolutely, I think I was born under a lucky star.
 * ...now that my dream is fulfilled, that I'm singing and I do what I love, I dream of running away and traveling around the world.
 * A girl only has to be in a miniskirt to be treated like a tease.
 * Liking to seduce isn't a sin
 * I want to get to know the arena, know the slightest little detail, the least little step, the slightest spotlight, so that I could sing and dance with my eyes closed. And so that from the beginning to the end, the people won't get tired of me.
 * I sleep (on what she does in-flight). No matter which place I land, I always manage to fall asleep.
 * Certain magazines who have recently published photos of me accused me of intentionally showing my underwear. That's absolutely false! So, to keep the bad tongues quiet, at the end of my song "J'ai pas 20 ans," I lifted up my skirt out of provocation. Having said that, I was wearing boxers!
 * (on defining what she feels of love) I don't just picture passion, even though I know that can destroy. But you have to experience it once in your life.
