Description du livre
“A great actress, who puts life into the dialogue. Her acting is very natural, her face so expressive. She doesn't act, she is.” Woody Allen
The teenager who saw herself as dull and timid and who wanted to be invisible for fear that she would seem like a show-off has become, in a career spanning twenty years, a quintessential artist of the Seventh Art. Sometimes nicknamed "Marion the kid," the “French Siren” in the United States, her notoriety has led her to be known by the simple, tradittional name of "Cotillard," just as other famous and appreciated actresses are called "Adjani," "Binoche" or "Deneuve."
Passionate about cinema, Dominique Choulant lets us better understand a rich and endearing personality, a dedicated woman and an exceptional artist who, by the virtue of going to the limits of each character, succeeded in being herself.
A former student of the Cours Florent, Dominique Choulant is passionate about the great female figures of cinema. He has already published books on other actresses, such as Martine Carol - L'Étoile aux cheveux d'Or (1997), CinéMarilyn (2006), Brigitte Bardot, le mythe éternel (2009), Marilyn Monroe, d'hier à aujourd'hui (2012) (Mon petit éditeur) and Isabelle Adjani, la magnifique (2014).
He is also the author of novels: Un pas dans le vide published by Gaies et lesbiennes and Même si published by Bénévent, as well as a play, Muriel ou le temps d'aimer, Mon petit éditeur, 2014.
