meeting with Rebecca Marder who plays Simone Veil

“Simone is not a film about the Shoah but we cannot tell the life of Simone Veil without telling the Shoah. Many survivors of this atrocity had a feeling of guilt when they returned from the camps and then Simone really chose life.“The biopic on the life of Simone Veil, Simone, le voyage du siècle, was released this Wednesday, October 12 in cinemas. At the microphone of Brut., actress Rebecca Marder, who lends her features to French politics, pays tribute to him.

“I’m not an actress who is haunted by her characters once I’ve finished a play or a role, a film, but I think for the character of Simone, it has almost become a companionship for me. In any case, I come out of this experience enhanced because I was inspired by his strength, by his dignity, by his faith in humanity, by his way of doing politics in the noble sense of the term.”, explains the actress.

Simone Veil was a magistrate then held the role of Minister of Health, during which she passed the Veil law, on the decriminalization of abortion in France. “Whether it’s abortion, Europe, racism, anti-Semitism, I have the impression that she was a pioneer. So in fact, I have the impression that today she left us a legacy that we must respect. She also bequeathed to me something that means that all of humanity is responsible for the human fate.”.
