17:44 Tuesday 13 July 2010



A l'occasion de la sortie de La Comtesse dans les salles françaises, Julie Delpy a participé à l'émission Bord Cadre présentée par Pierre Zéni sur CineCinéma Premier.



La vidéo de l'émission est disponible sur le site de Canal+.

Julie Delpy appeared in Bord Cadre - a CineCinéma Premier program - in April 2010 for The Countess release in France.


The 22 mins interview is in French, so I translated the first part of the interview:

Pierre Zéni (PZ): Let's begin with 7 questions...'cupidity': are you paid well enough?
Julie Delpy (JD): Ah, I had thought about this one...hmmm...not really, well, I can't answer that one, no, I would say no.
PZ: Do you want to work more so as to make more money ?
JD: I work a lot already...I'd like to make more money but to work more I'd have to stop sleeping maybe...
PZ: 'Envy': with whom would you exchange your career?
JD: Hmm, I don't know, James Cameron (laughter)...nan, nan, seriously...
PZ: You are going to realize Avatar 2 ?
JD: Yes, Avatar 2...(laughter)

PZ: 'Anger': what makes you lose your temper today in cinema?
JD: Nothing actually...I was angry when I was 15 and found many things were unfair, but now, in fact, nothing, I'm very calmed down...
PZ: 'Lust': would you do anything in front of the camera?
JD: No, no, I'm not ready for anything... but behind the camera, yes! (laughter)
PZ: 'Greed': What are you hungry for today?
JD: Couscous-merguez (laughter)...

PZ: 'Pride': Do you like what you've become?
JD: I don't know what I've become...A big question there! Let's say I like more who I am today than who I was 20 years ago...I managed to take a direction I like...
PZ: You like yourself more?
JD: No, I don't like myself more but I like the way I've taken for my life...

PZ: OK...Julie Delpy, are you sensitive to critics?
JD: Yes, I am, but at the same time, when I'm being criticized hard it makes me laugh sometimes, I like it, and when it is justified, then I try to take critics into account...
PZ: Good! We met some people that know you and your career...We met Bertrand Tavernier (La Passion Béatrice), Alex Descas, who knows you well, and Denis Lavant your partner from Mauvais Sang:

Bertrand Tavernier: I think that Julie was an actress labelled as 'exceptional', who went for bold projects ...
Alex Descas: It's her nature, she's frank, she's thoroughgoing, she can be bad-tempered but she's always honest, that's what I like about her...
Bertrand Tavernier: When she left I was a bit afraid that she would lose herself, but finally she did good and manage to survive, which is tough for actresses...
Denis Lavant: I find it really good that she has found her place in the American society, that she has some possibility there to follow her own creative path...
Bertrand Tavernier: Her fancy, her sense of comic, her madness, that's what I like about her...that can be frightful too!
Alex Descas: She has always wanted to write, so she did it, and because she is tenacious she managed to do it...
Denis Lavant: I'd be curious to know if Leos Carax saw her films, with time, and what he thinks about her, because it is the confrontation of 2 creators...
JD: I love Denis, I love them...
PZ: Do you have news from Leos Carax?
JD: Not at all....but you know back in those days I was very pissed with him after the filmshoot...I was very young and very...(sign of anger) - but now I have no anger against anyone...it took me time to find myself, it was difficult, and the fact that I was not creative at the time - I was an actress, which is not a very creative position, and it was a real conflict for me...I was not happy...
PZ: Was that a revenge to become a director?
JD: No, not at all, it was not a revenge at all, it was a need, a vital need...
PZ: More vital than being an actress?
JD: Oh yes, 100 times more, I have every respect for actors, I know actors are very fragile, but I had the need to write, I write since I'm a little girl and stopped when I became an actress, which was odd...
PZ: And so why did you leave?
JD: I had the need to reinvent myself - I was feeling very bad with myself at the time, and it took me years to realize that I was feeling bad because I didn't do what I wanted to...
PZ: You were too young to be an actress?
JD: No, not really, you're never too young to begin...It was hard because it's a tough world, and I am very very straight,
so the slightest bit of corruption made me mad, nowadays I don't care...
PZ: Where does it come from, your education?
JD: Yes, it's my education, it's my parents fault...(laughter)

  1. Quelle est l'histoire avec Leos Carax? Pourquoi était-elle furieuse après le tournage de Mauvais sang ?

  2. Merci pour ta question Lois! J'avais déjà entendu Julie Delpy parler de sa première rencontre ratée avec Kieslowski, mais jamais de ce qui s'était passé avec Léos Carax...Du coup petite recherche internet et du coup...ta réponse dans le post suivant! ;) (pour faire simple: accident de moto pendant le tournage, mais il l'a obligée à continuer de tourner...pas très malin avec une ado de 16 ans!! il a pas l'air super commode, comme réalisateur, Carax...)

    Cee
