Bright red dress, theatrical leopard coat, XL brushing and assertive gaze: on the occasion of the film’s release In his lifetime at the cinema, Catherine Deneuve took part in a new photo shoot for the magazine She November 5, 2021. In the interview that accompanies these pictures, the 78-year-old actress returned with sincerity to her “small stroke” that occurred in November 2019, while she was shooting this drama signed Emmanuelle Bercot.
In the movie In his lifetime, the actress plays the role of Crystal, a mother accompanying her son (played by Benoît Magimel) in his fight against cancer. At the time of resuming filming, once recovering from her “health glitch”, Catherine Deneuve was no longer the same: “The scenario had not changed, but I was another woman, who had another way of seeing, of thinking, of moving (…). I was very lucky, because I was touched more than anything by this stroke. And yet, even though I was little touched, it took me a long time to recover exactly, to be sure that everything was perfectly in its place.“, she remembered.
A return to the sets then turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic, which imposed a second pause in the filming. “My own situation has been swept away and overtaken by the Covid. What happened to me didn’t matter so much anymore“, she said.”When we resumed the film, we were in this tsunami (…). I had already spent several months in the hospital and going there even in studio sets was very disturbing. “Between her stroke and this puzzle shoot, the mother of Christian Vadim and Chiara Mastroianni believes she has all the same”had a good year in the hospital“…
After making a remarkable comeback at the last Cannes Film Festival, the one who now lives from day to day admits to having “again very want to turn“. That’s a good news !
