After Gilles Legrand who asked Angele in The Maiden and the Wolves to play in the cold,
it is Tsai Ming-Liang who films the Salome's resistance to the cold temperatures.

It is very cold for Laetitia in the gardens of Tuileries.
Between two shootings three people put on her, above her dress, a pullover, a jacket, and two coats!

Then Lee Kang-Sheng becomes snowman.
Jean-Pierre Leaud speaks with Vincent Wang is in the forest of mirrors.
Fanny Ardant smokes on a bench in the Montmartre cemetry.

Fanny Ardant, playing the part of the producer, talks to Jean-Pierre Leaud about his part in the movie within the movie:

You are a King, you are a Knight,
you fought and
you bore on your face the marks of your fight.

Vous êtes un Roi, vous êtes un Chevalier,
vous vous êtes battu et
vous portez sur votre visage les marques de votre combat.

The making of continues in the underground river of the Louvre
then in the Great Gallery in front of John the Baptist's painting with Jean-Pierre Leaud and Fanny Ardant.

In the gardens of Tuileries, one hears the sound of a ventilator that sends snowflakes on Lee Kang-Sheng.
Then Fanny Ardant shouts: "Arrêtez !" [Stop it!]

Then there is an interview where the film directory Tsai Ming-Liang talks about Jean-Pierre Leaud
(in Chinese with French subtitle).
In Face he wished to film the meeting between Lee Kang-Sheng and Jean-Pierre Leaud.
