The one who was so secret a few years ago now seems to be more exposed than ever. Isabelle Adjani, in cinemas around Masquerade by Nicolas Bedos, is also on the small screen in the cathodic blockbuster by Josée Dayan, Diana of Poitiers. France 2 is broadcasting this work in two parts on November 7, in which the French actress with the 5 César awards displays all her talent and beauty. The Parisian wondered more precisely about the image of the 67-year-old star – incredible – who slipped into the skin of the favorite of Henry II, King of France. Playing a character over several years of his life, the artist has never looked so young.
Josée Dayan is firm on this point: if Isabelle Adjani, sublime sexagenarian, is also luminous in her mini-series Diana of Poitiers, there is no trickery to make her look younger, it’s all a question of light and make-up, belying, like the actress, suspicions of digital retouching. However, the unforgettable Queen Margot admits to having already been the target of computer modification: “Yes of course, like all famous French actresses, and it’s not a question of age. Who doesn’t want to look their best? We all have a better profile. With digital, you can remove an unsightly button or crease. Digital retouching has become commonplace, it is part of technical evolution.She points out that more traditional techniques, like latex masks, are rarely done well.
