Overview

Actrices (Actresses) is a French comedy-drama film directed by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, released in 2007. The film was presented in the official selection at the 60th Cannes Film Festival and won a Prix Spécial du Jury in the Un Certain Regard section. Plot Marcelline is a chagrined actress, haunted by Natalia Petrovna, the heroine of the Turgenev play A Month in the Country, that she is rehearsing. Trying to escape her fears she visits the swimming pool. While she is swimming she listens to Glenn Miller. At the age of 40 she is unmarried and lives only for her work at the theatre. When she learns she will probably never have children, this heightens her anguish. She tries to communicate with those around her - living or dead: the Virgin Mary, the protecting ghost of her father seated on the family sofa, the mischievous phantom of her lover perched in a tree. She laughs and cries in turn, a nothing perturbs her, a look from her mother, or simply a kiss from the young lead in the play she is acting in. Cast Valeria Bruni Tedeschi as Marcelline Noémie Lvovsky as Nathalie Louis Garrel as Éric Mathieu Amalric as Denis Valeria Golino as Nathalia Petrovna Marisa Borini as The mother Maurice Garrel as The father Simona Marchini as The aunt Bernard Nissille as Jean-Paul Olivier Rabourdin as Marc Laetitia Spigarelli as Juliett Gilles Cohen as Jean-Luc Marie Rivière as The tailoress Eric Elmosnino as Raymond Robinson Stévenin as Julien Laurent Grévill as Arthur Pascal Bongard as The priest

Notable quotes

“Good actors never use the script unless it's amazing writing. All the good actors I've worked with, they all say whatever they want to say.”
— , "Why Fantastic Four Made Jessica Alba Want to 'Stop Actings'" by Marc Bernardin, Blastr, (Dec 14, 2012).
“The close-up says everything, it's then that an actor's learned, rehearsed behavior becomes most obvious to an audience and chips away, unconsciously, at its experience of reality. In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.”
— Marlon Brando, New York Times (July 2, 2004).
“I was more intolerant in the days when I said actors were cattle and the director was the herder. Today I prefer to say actors are children and the wise director treats them that way.”
— Alfred Hitchcock, as quoted in "Alfred Hitchcock Now Says Actors Are Children, Not Cattle" by Marjory Adams, in The Boston Globe (1 June 1958).
“They wanted to "teach" me to act. But to act is natural. It is ten percent acting and ninety percent being smart.”
— , as quoted in his Blue Underground talent profile.
“Acting is the most embarrassing business in the world. You never know when you're going to eat.”
— , as quoted by Myrna Oliver in:
“(The) play of limbs succeeds the play of wit.”
— Horace and James Smith, Rejected Addresses, By Lord B. Cui Bono. 11.
