About
life-long debt. I had a profound need to make this film, and since I’m the dynamic type, I went for it. It was crucial.” Her enthusiasm was so infectious that she finally found a brave producer, Sophie Goupil, and recruited actor Guillaume Depardieu without ever having met him. “He accepted right away, it seemed a natural encounter, a mutual birth. He’s unusual, provocative, keenly aware of things. We share an intense, brotherly love, we laugh a lot together. In fact, Guillaume is like my guardian angel, he always shows up when things get tough.”
