Timestamps:
0:47 - There is a pantheon of memorable morally complex roles for actresses in Catherine’s cinema - had you had the time to see the original, and how was it like to meet Catherine for the first time?
3:45 - ...during shooting did you ever find yourself reevaluating your character Anne’s intentions?
7:20 - I want to discuss the use of the long take - what are you able to access as an actor when you are presented with sequences built like this?
10:04 - I love the idea of the tattoo sequence...how much fun is it to work with a newcomer (e.g. Samuel Kircher) - to be aware of your performance but also guide someone else...?
13:12 - ... I imagine you already met his mother Irène Jacob?
14:03 - What does it mean to have a producer such as Saïd Ben Saïd back a film project?
16:16 - I want to say that your performance in Xavier Legrand’s Jusqu'a la garde (aka Custody) is a major work in your timeline...I was curious to know if you developed a short hand with Xavier in the short film (Avant que de tout perdre - 2013) you had worked on beforehand.
20:44 - Another film role of yours that broke me .... how is it for you when you are getting a supporting character and maybe you are just in some sequences - do you go to a special place to invest yourself even more?
