If we know her dad, Richard Bohringer, well, we know her mother, Marguerite Bourry, a little less, because she left home when Romane was only nine months old… In an interview with France newsthe 49-year-old actress, now a woman and a mother, confides as rarely about her motherhood and her mother’s place in her life.
“A toxic mother”
This February 20, on the occasion of the release of “Small”, in which she plays the role of an educator, she returns to a particular character in the film that reminds her of her own mother, she says. She describes : “a toxic mother”And “a moving character”, “a loving mother, but this mother that we see (…) looks like a lot of mothers who are incomplete” she says.
Romane Bohringer also admits that she accepted the role of the one who comes to the aid of the daughter of this dangerous mother, because she was “struck, almost overwhelmed by the similarity of what inhabits Julie (Lerat-Gersant, the director, editor’s note) in this film and what are more or less the most haunting subjects of her life, that is to say : motherhood, transmission, resilience”she assures.
Indeed, Romane Bohringer, who grew up stuck to her actor father, “under his arm, really like a package“, she said on the radio, and that she accompanied very early on the film sets, had an adoptive mother only at the age of 13, as she confided to Female version, about his mother-in-law, Astrid. However, she had to wait years before repairing herself by becoming a mother herself…
“You have to console the child who is in yourself”
Now the movie star “Mina Tannenbaum” recognizes it, she managed to forgive her mother (who died when she was 14, editor’s note) her abandonment. However, she confides: “It’s a long road. It’s not done without work. You have to go scratching, digging. Me, it came very late, after my children (she had two, Rose in 2008, then Raoul three years later, with the actor Philippe Rebbot). To conclude, she also recalls the sentence that was the key to her analysis : “It was my shrink who told me that one day: ‘You have to console the child who is in you'”.
