00:30There is certainly my favorite film, which is Chantant sous la pluie, which is really

00:40a film of great, great shows, so much in its panavision, its technicolor, the choreographies,

00:48the music.

00:49It was Weber and the Omnibus that fascinated me, because I was a child and this child

00:56who did a little bit of the 400 shots, really gave me, it's the magic of cinema, it's

01:00the first time that it really reached me.

01:02It's a film that represents heritage, because it's the Dolce Vita, that's it.

01:09My first film was Les Rapaces by Eric Bonslohan, I saw it at the French Cinémathèque, in

01:15a small room like that, and I said to myself, but in the cinema we can have tragedies

01:19too, so I decided to make cinema, that's how it started.

01:27The first film that I saw, it scared me so much that I screamed and I left the cinema

01:31crying.

01:32It was a film in which I played my father, which was the first film on Tintin, it was

01:36called Le Mystère de la Toison d'Or, and it terrified me so much, so I had to fight

01:42to come back to the cinema, because my first contact with the cinema was absolutely

01:45terrible.

01:47Je ne sais pas, Jeux Interdits, qui m'avait absolument bouleversée, en passant par La Rousse

01:57pour Duquerre, de Woody Allen, parce qu'il y avait ce passage entre la fiction et la réalité,

02:02enfin.

02:03Je crois que me surprendront beaucoup les Hermanos Lumière, parce que j'ai vu une espèce de

02:10pequeños cortos que hacían sobre los oficios, les boulangers à la sortie de l'usine, et

02:17j'étais fascinée de penser simplement que c'était la première fois que je voyais une

02:24espèce d'image qui pour moi était comme une essence du cinéma.

02:40Le Mystère de la Toison d'Or
