How do you get elected Mistress of Ceremonies at the Cannes Film Festival – twice! Thierry Frémaux [director of the Cannes Film Festival] just called me and said: “ We thought about you, and would be delighted if you’d be part of the adventure. ” And I said to him: “ Jeanne Moreau has done it twice and so has Isabelle Huppert, so I don’t see how I could possibly refuse!

Pull straws?
When I was on the jury in 2006, there weren’t enough prizes for all the films that deserved one. To the extent that we had to call ex aequo. Sometimes I was sad to see certain film makers leave empty-handed when the quality of their film was so outstanding.
But it also means the selection that year was excellent. Numerous actresses have denounced the increasingly rare number of good roles for actresses over the age of 50.
Do you agree?
I don’t think that's the case. When I look at Kusturica’s film for example, I can see clearly how my physique has completely changed from when I made Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, Irréversible , Malèna and The Passion of Christ. But with this new body I can tell other stories.
I would have never been able to do On the Milky Road twenty years ago, because the women I play, Mlada, has such inner power, such passivity, and she is so attached to the land – even if she steals – I could never have brought her to life without the wrinkles around my eyes. It would have been fake and the film wouldn’t have been the same.
Do you claim to be a feminist?
Firstly, what does the word feminist actually mean?
Often behind a badly behaved man is a mother who badly educated her son. You are very feminine, even if you’re not a feminist. We imagine you a little like Donatella Versace, spending your days in a bath of essential oils sprinkled with rose petals and floating candles.
If only! Unfortunately, I don’t have that much time for myself, I have to take care of my kids and I have a politician’s schedule. I occasionally have a face massage, I have acupuncture and I do Pilates, but that’s pretty much it.
So you’re not a narcissist?
I probably am a little bit, otherwise I wouldn’t be doing this job. Production: Irina Marie, A. Production : Fernando Damasceno.
