Louis Garrel’s comment on Italy’s absence in Cannes
«The fact that there are no Italian films is a horrible thing for me. – he stated Garrel – I love Italian cinema, I always promote it when I’m in France, while when I’m here I promote French cinema. I continually try to build bridges between the two countries. This thing depresses me, we need the Italian narrationwhich is so peculiar. Your cinema for me is derision and passion.”
“Couture” and the behind the scenes of fashion
Couture tells a story set in the world of fashion. The director Alice Winocour shows some behind the scenes, the precariousness and fragility of people, in particular that of the character of Jolie when he discovers he has an illness.
The portrait of Angelina Jolie: «It’s a bit punk»
About his work with the American actress Garrel he said: «I would define her as a bit punk, she’s not a conventional person, she’s truly non-conformist. She is one of the biggest stars in the world but it seems she became one in spite of herself: she didn’t want it, she accepted it. Then he is a person involved in many causes, which I would not define as humanitarian but humanist. It is very original, unique, I would say extraordinary.”
