For Monica Bellucci, “women should love their femininity”. Interview & photo shoots…

7. Monica Bellucci

Let’s talk about cinema: you have a string of important roles, notably in the next film by Emir Kusturica.
I am happy for this opportunity. It’s sort of the comeback of Kusturica, who has just spent three years of his life giving concerts with his band and shooting documentaries. I know that he is very attached to this story which mixes the themes of earth, hatred and love. I think I’m going to live an intense, very beautiful experience. Then I’m going to shoot with Alice Rohrwacher, the young Italian filmmaker who has already made a name for herself at Cannes for Corpo celeste .

With Vincent Cassel and your children, you seem to live like nomads, always on the move, often separated… Is distance the secret of a happy couple?
I don’t think there is a recipe. I know close couples who do everything together, work, friends, outings, and it works. If there was a miracle recipe, we would know it… I often say that we cannot bet on the future, we live in the present moment, without knowing what will happen tomorrow. The important thing is a form of love that must remain anchored forever.
