blogs ONLINE: Mademoiselle de France, in your new film "A Secret", you play a Jewish swimmer in occupied France. Do you have a lot of training for this role?
Arsenal actress De France (with Patrick Bruel) in "A Secret": "I would have been good at this time pass"
De France: Three months! I wanted to have the body of a swimmer. Because my character Tania is the swimming is a passion, she is a woman who is very much about their Physis defined. I am in "A Secret" is quite different through the water as the high-performance indoor swimming today, a lot of female and sensual? with less force and much more grace. The swimming style of women has changed a lot.
blogs ONLINE: Are you in the role of a kind of feminine elegance, is discovered in our world today, miss?
De France: Yes. The women then have extremely elegant moves. This was of course also on the clothes. But all the clothes that I tried, sat like a glove! I'd be good to fit into this time. It has given me very much to play a woman who can not do otherwise than through their every move at every step to seduce. Tania has a greater attraction to men, as it would like. But she never uses her beauty calculation. We wanted every character in "A Secret" on her legal attack.
ONLINE blogs: Also, because the film is based on true events?
De France: Yes, it was the responsibility is even greater. The film relies on the recollections of the writer Philippe GRIMBERT and the fate of his family as Jews in occupied France. This part of the French history was myself until then little known.
blogs ONLINE: In the film falls in their Tania brother Maxime (Patrick Bruel), but because both are married, is the desire of the two long unfulfilled.
De France: Yes, but the air between the two is to want to vibrate! The scene in the forest, as Maxime and Tania finally descend on each other, we have shot at the very end. We had to wait for days, because it rained constantly. Our director Claude Miller, however, wanted to have sunshine. Patrick and I began to nag and Claude asked: "Can not we shoot today?" He looked at the clouds and shook his head. "Why not?" we wanted to know. "Nature could not care about human issues. If the figures are in sombre mood, the sky blue!" Then the sun seemed to really, we turned, and all the frustration over the long wait vented at once: as the sexual tension between Maxime and Tania.
blogs ONLINE: Your character Tania in "A Secret" is a female Inbild Grazie. The figure Isabella, on the other hand, you two years ago in Danièle Thompson's film "A perfect place" to play, but moves so clumsily, as if every body part of its own will. Try for each character, one's own body language to be found?
De France: Absolutely! Only when I know how someone moves, I understand how someone feels. The psychology and intellect, I develop a character from her body. If I play, I completely and utterly my instinct? like an animal. My eyes have two filters that everything they perceive the usefulness of examining the role. At the beginning, I am a piece of white paper, then I learn, I like the character to move, then I get my costume, my make-up, then I dive into the inner life, and at the end of the piece of paper a whole life story .
blogs ONLINE: Sounds as if you need for each of your roles much time.
De France: Oh, yes. I'm incredibly slow. So slowly like an elephant. I am always eternally long for a role, because to me on the set goes far too quickly. A character to life, this is a process that is in me months. If I did not this time, I feel a little lost.
blogs ONLINE: In earlier films such as "Barcelona for a year" to play very often burschikose women. Why did the directors as long as needed, to discover your femininity?
De France: Why? Because directors have no imagination. No, I have no reason for me to complain. The sides repeatedly discover to me, which I myself still do not know. I'm not a lesbian, but often playful lesbians. Here I learn a lot about the relationship between the sexes. In Barcelona for a year "I show some of the Romain Durys played heroes, how to seduce a woman. It is simply fun, because I need to switch sides and in the role of the man can slip. In continuation of the "St. Petersburg for a year's what's even thicker: Because I must wear a dress! Of course, I move it like a guy. But now I am a real woman! Perhaps the femininity with age.
blogs ONLINE: In your roles often wear short hair. Is this just a personal preference or even become a trademark?
De France: It is simply practical! I like short hair. And if I have a role for long hair needs, provide me a wig. Wigs are a great invention, completely underestimated! To me, the people at my hairstyle recognize, this is not necessarily in my senses. Because I had the good fortune to be polymorphic. I can look very different. And I try to feed this happiness wherever it goes.
blogs ONLINE: In the film "Chanson d'amour" (2006) provide you with Gérard Depardieu is a mix of duel and duet. Were not you afraid of this massive guy on the screen to be crushed?
De France: If you have a film with Depardieu makes you have a partner to the volcano. We must not run away if it erupts. But we have exactly the same day for the first time, taken when we first encounter of the two in the film turned. The director Xavier Giannoli wanted this moment does not offer. Depardieu has not quite wrongly attributed to the reputation of being arrogant and indifferent to, because he moved to the hundreds of rolls of film to muzzle business had fully. But for this film, he was full of enthusiasm. He lifted and passed me a hand so that I could fly.
blogs ONLINE: Now under power but!
De France: No, really! From Depardieu, I have learned a lot, because unlike me, he is the self-assurance in person. He can stand out from the play. I must oppose it for weeks to prepare everything. He gave me courage to improvise. There are two kinds of acting: the southern and northern. In the south, the stars rely on their image, their charisma. The films are around them knitted. In the north are the important stories, and the actors introduce themselves at the service of narrative.
blogs ONLINE: They come from Belgium ...
De France: ... and I turn in France. So I am an ambassador of the North in the south. In Belgium, people work differently than in France, disciplined. Rather, as in Sweden or Britain. Or in Germany. I recently shot with Ulrich Tukur, who is working incredibly hard. He has for weeks gebüffelt French! In the north, worked in the south, the glamor celebrated. But that is okay so.
