Meeting
Laetitia Casta: "It is important that everything be lived"

Interviewed by Lydia Bacrie, updated 04/09/2008 - issued on 04/09/2008

It is one of the major events of the season! After four years of absence, Laetitia Casta back on stage with her waiting for you, a magnificent piece written and directed by Florian Zeller. On this occasion, the fine was entrusted, referring to the quest love with his character; revealing also with absolute sincerity his doubts, his desires, his thirst for theatre. Meeting with an actress free, intense ... And always so sensual!

When you read the first sentences She is waiting for you, you immediately think you've been a little inspiring Anna, heroin. A young woman committed to Corsica, which calls for the first time the man she loves. Florian Zeller he thought of you writing this piece? How did the meeting?

No, the coincidence is troubling, but Florian wrote this piece even before knowing who would interpret it. It was only after he thought of me! One day he called me to propose me to read his work and I immediately was love at first sight.

Tell us the story in a nutshell ...

This is a very beautiful about love, and the end of a love. A young woman, Anna, lives a story with Simon [Editor's note: played by Bruno Todeschini], a married man who decides to leave his wife and two daughters for her. He then join in Corsica in the house of his parents. In fact, this is a play about this strange moment where you pass the role of lover to that of women. This is where it all happens. And as any breaks, because Simon is going to steal, become increasingly elusive to disappear then so mysterious.

What moves you from?

What upsets me at Anna, is that it gives a whole. It is a woman in love, very loving. So far, she lived relations more or less missed, and then she made this meeting and she said that luck may finally turn. It is ready to do anything to this story that works. She decides to put a naked, take all the risks. She said: "I want to be your wife, I want a child you. "But in the face of it there is that the denial or silence ...

It is the story of an impossible love?

Yes. And I think it is all we came to spend a day with someone. We dream of a true love story, but the problem is we did not met the right person. The friends, family tell you: "Stop, you're in the process of destroying you, drop. "But we did not arrive. Beyond this tragic love story, I also see a sort of lesson, the fact of having to go through suffering to transform itself to be reborn.

You acknowledge in Anna?

I think that today I no longer need to feel an affinity with a character to play. I am often in the past, choosing roles because they resembled me. In The Blue Bicycle, Lea had the character of fighter who talked to me really. The Ames strong reminded me my roots, the famous Corsican vendetta. Here, for the first time, I feel lend me a character, giving me completely as long as there is necessary link between him and me. But what upsets me especially in Anna, it was his courage, his humility and his nobility.

You were talking about cinema. For you, experiences are they the same or on stage drama brings you there something different?

In film, you can always resume, re-taken. On stage, it is as if running a trafficking, and without the right to make mistakes! It is important that everything is experienced, focused, which takes the public. That's what attracted me to the theater. It gives the viewer with each other, we enter together in another world. The dream, a dream shared.

When has made your first encounter with theater?

I had 12 years and we had mounted a room with a troupe of amateurs who came into my college. It called Coup de theatre and I played the role of a museum director who loses memory. I immediately felt something very strong. Then I took classes for several years and I always go out very moved, very exalted.

It has taken until 2004 and Ondine so you end up the boards.

I wanted to redo the theatre for a long time and one day, by chance, a friend advised me to read Ondine, Giraudoux. A revelation! I felt a vital need to go back on stage to play this character was. It was I who approached Jacques Weber to make the staging of the play. Ondine Why? I do not really know. I felt that its poetry, its way of life things made me feel less alone. And then, it has a grace that gave me want to embody it.

This is an important part of the classical repertoire. You took many risks in choosing for the first time ...

In fact, I was very naive. I did not realize. But others are responsible for making me understand that I m'attaquais to something huge. Fortunately, I took all this rather late. If you're scared, they do nothing. It is my great strength to be new!

Why have waited so long before coming back on stage?

What I have lived with Ondine was so intense that I needed time to be caught again by a project. And then, I do not do theatre for the theatre. This has never been my approach, any more than cinema, by the way. This had to be as strong and at the same time totally unprecedented.

Anna is very different from Ondine ...

Absolutely. Ondine is a fluid. She runs, she lives, she is violent and child at a time. Anna is just the opposite. It is a cerebral woman, a woman who spends his time thinking. It's complicated, Anna. Ondine, it was one way, Anna is ten thousand ways. Anna is also a contemporary woman and I know now that I have this maturity there. I can play a woman today, I do not need me to hide behind a costume to interpret a character.

Do you feel you save again in danger?

Yes, more than ever. But it also means that I like!

THEATRE.
"Being an actress is barjot! "
A family house, the sun, sea and a woman in love: Laetitia Casta back on stage tomorrow at the Madeleine, "She is waiting for you," Florian Zeller. More still safe to have made the right choice in becoming an actress.
Interviewed by Caroline Andrieu | 08.09.2008, 07:00

"I'M NOT MORE a girl. "Laetitia Casta always speaks slowly, and a hushed voice, but she took the insurance. Four years after "Ondine" by Jean Giraudoux at the Theatre Antoine, it back on the boards tomorrow on the Madeleine in "She is waiting for you," Florian Zeller. In the meantime, she has played for film and television, she got married, she had a second child.
And now, 30 years, happy actress in the role of a woman very in love…

Between "Ondine" and "She is waiting for you," you have received many proposals.
What you have chosen?

Laetitia Casta. I had time because "Ondine" asked me a very strong commitment. I wanted to be the height of character, be able to fill it. It is the role of Anna who gave me the courage to return.

Anna loves a hommequi hesitates between her and the mother of his children. What does it so touching?

His love, very generous. This woman is in the immensity of things, she wants to know, it goes through. She said Simon elsewhere (Editor's note: interpreted by Bruno Todeschini) that it is full, and more love. One way to say: "You are evil crossed my coconut! "(She laughs). I'm looking for the humanity in each role is what interests me. Search, it can not be taught. It is a passion, life: always be alert to others, to question.

At what point did you know that this trade was for you?

The moment I put our feet on a plateau. I am entering another world and I felt that this was my place. The actress profession allows me to externalize. It's like a circle: everything is fluid, emotions entering and leaving, it's pretty healthy. It can live 10 000 lives in one. Being an actress is barjot: you can fall in love, die, change their identity all the time, and everything is justified! Children also have very well understood. They do not say: "I'll become a pirate or something else. "They say: 'I am. "And the actors have the right to continue to play like this, what happiness!

There was a click?

More than a click, an emergency. I had not decided: "I'm going to take photos and after I'll be an actress. "One day there was this sense of urgency in me as a woman. I felt even stronger need to express emotions, to give, and see what I could feel on stage.

The eyes of others, the public and the critics, you're able to ignore?

Yes, otherwise I would never nothing. I have spoken often of my old job, telling me attention, the models are not film, they can not. But as I had a real passion, and for me not to judge myself, I am rid of it. And then I do not want me concern that what I have to do.

Until December 31 at the Madeleine, rue de Suresnes (VIII). From Tuesday to Saturday 21 hours. On Saturday, 18 am to 30, Sunday at 15 hours. Price: from 11.50 to 29 €. Half price until 18 September. Tel. 01.42.65.07.09.

Theater: a return to backstage
Armelle Héliot (Figaroscope)
03/09/2008

Florian Zeller directs Laetitia Casta in Elle waiting for you, a play about the horrors of passion
With more than eighty pieces on display, the new theatre season may spin. Summer is a time of very intense work for the entertainment which is preparing in secret rooms. Looking behind the scenes.

Every summer look a little in the Parisian theatres, cinemas whether private or public institutions. The first rehearsals often begin in June, cinemas close in July, it goes back to work in August. And in early September we tremble, because it comes early representations…

Paradoxically, summer is not at all a period of inactivity for theatres especially since this is the period of toilettages, beautification work, technical amendments.

Classified and Inventory of Historic Monuments, indoor theaters are very private Parisian treated by their owners. Obviously, the success accentuates wear. For the Bouffes Parisiens, inseparable from the memory of Jean-Claude Brialy, and hosting a new Anne Roumanoff in an excellent performance Anne, twenty years and more, as the Michodière nearby where Jacques Crépineau may give the poster Chat and mouse Ray Cooney with Francis Perrin and Jean-Luc Moreau, attendance led to sustained attention.

At the Madeleine too, it was the work this summer. "The theater was closed in July and August," says its director, Frederick Franck. "We have proceeded to run the home. From 1 August repetition of it waiting for you, took over in the decor. The delivery and installation of this scene took about a week and the latest key data are currently at the same time that will adjust the lights and all technical adjustments. "

To create a circle on paper as early as February, when Lætitia Casta said yes, the location opened in June. And continues at the counters while inside, the artists repeat… until the first public performance that took place yesterday, September 9.

Other players are already "passed", as they say. Thus the Porte Saint-Martin where the first imaginary representation of the Sick with Michel Bouquet took place on September 5.

"After rehearsals in June in Cachan, we stopped in July, said Georges Werler, the director. This period is a time for reflection, maturation, which is very important, a time which is particularly Michel Bouquet. On August 4, we have installed in the theatre, with the scenery and costumes. "No" general "in the theater that runs Jean-Claude Camus, plus nobody wants, nor the actors or producers let alone the press. But with more than eighty pieces on display in a month, it is better to get ahead…

The beautiful discipline Laetitia Casta

In rehearsal for it awaits you, the piece de Florian Zeller, Lætitia Casta is on the scene of the Theatre de la Madeleine. His profile is pretty loose, delicate, on the bottom of a very particular blue, a blue that would have heated the sun of the Mediterranean, a beautiful blue limed imagined by Thierry Flamand to translate space dream by Florian Zeller, the Board the house of Corsica in which the mother (Michele Moretti) installs his eldest daughter (Lætitia Casta) and his new lover, Simon (Bruno Todeschini). Anna has come up country childhood to present with him, for he knows. Enfermement of the island seclusion of the family: a sick father (Thierry Bosc), a little possessive brother (Nicolas Vaude), a younger sister ambiguous (Magali Woch). Simon, who left his wife three months ago, claims it will go for a ride in the mountains and disappears… Waiting sealed the atmosphere more than the burning sun. Anna spends a test under the eyes of anxious relatives… She is on the way.

For Lætitia Casta, we will see in October on Arte embody a woman free version baba cool in a film by Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau (Born in 68), this role is timely. Fullness of passion, pain, acceptance of misfortune, rebellion, but légèreté too. "She has no real place. This is a great lover. It is very clear. It goes to the end. But it is open, humble, far from any submission. His energy and fills me if I know the fragility of this Anna, I can say that it helps me to refocus things. For me. And it is for me to play… "It unchecks one of his radiant smiles and désarmants. "I want to say that it is in contact with the personalities of actors brought together by Florian Zeller, whom I admire the finesse and maturity that I can move forward and that I understand better things in my life. "

Disciplinée and humble, as it always has been, it takes repetition. It seeks. Battle of pillows with Bruno Todeschini. "A cat," she says, charmée. She does not hide that it is impressed with this partner spent by the school des Amandiers, remained very close to Patrice Chéreau and has toured the beautiful film entitled His brother. "We must tame," she said, a dreamer. It is always a little as if she feared the judgement of those she admires. Yet, observing the work, one can not but be struck by his commitment, his taste for proposals. There is it a mixture of instinct and reasoning to be translated into permanent inventiveness.

A forthcoming film with Jean Pierre Léaud

With a taste for the game, the purity of a game that betrays the palpitations of childhood. Sitting in second place orchestra, Florian Zeller observes the actors he has gathered. After the scene of the room, change of scenery. On the terrace, phone calls resonate like gunshots. In the portfolio black dress designed by Dominica Borg, Anna fine silhouette is that of a woman fighter who ploie in doubt. Lætitia, she is happy. Her children are are happy, she dreams of one day playing with the man in her life, Stefano Accorsi. It took 30 years in May. It radiates. His last grief? The death of Yves Saint Laurent, last June. She deeply admired and remembers with affection. "He was shy, we understand without words. One day he offered me a rose and so many beautiful dresses ... Among its projects, the film's Taiwanese director Tsai Ming Liang (The Wayward cloud). And a shooting in October in Paris with Jean-Pierre Léaud and Fanny Ardant, the story of an actress who does more its image…

Coups de theatre, hitting tobacco

A big angry is that which has seized Jean-Claude Camus, director of Theatre de la Porte Saint-Martin (Le Malade imaginaire with Bouquet), but also the main producer of Family Secret, Eric Assous piece written on Sardou measure for father and son. Jean-Manuel Bajen, director of Variety, which he acquired from Jean-Paul Belmondo, had made an agreement with L 'Avant-scene drama p our publish the text and a copious programme, which was en route to Las printing… ! This was not the taste of Camus who broke violently with the magazine. He seems to think that the public by Michel Sardou can not read…

In the serenity were held rehearsals of the Single Studio des Champs-Elysees headed Michel Fagadau with her daughter Stephanie Fagadau-Mercier. Anouche Setbon, the director, is in ecstasy. It creates the first piece of very talented David Foenkinos with two actors cool, Catherine Jacob and Christian Charmetant. "We rehearsed for two weeks in June and resumed work in August. The author is very discreet. We did a reading for him and I presented a model of decor, music, lights. First September 19. That a very young writer in order to come to the theatre is very good news for the entire profession.

The grief and questions, there has also been in this summer. At the Theatre Antoine-Simone Berriau, crying Héléna Bossis, actress and theatre director who died in August. But her husband, Daniel Darès, who is here watching over the team assembled by Alain Sachs around Isabelle Nanty and Ivan Le Bolloc'h to resurrect Les Deux Ducks of Tristan Bernard. In the pocket-Montparnasse, and Étienne Bierry, 90 years, The Cherry Orchard repeat the Storm of the Cartoucherie, his wife, Renée Delmas, who co-directs this room legend, wondered about the future of the place. But their son, Stéphane Bierry, takes the bass of Suskind. Critics are already came and enjoyed.

A new campaign for Laetitia Casta

French model Lætitia Casta is the face of Ralph Lauren’s Notorious fragrance

HAVING DONE HER DASH WITH L’Oréal Paris, French-born model Laetitia Casta has been moved within the group to the Ralph Lauren Fragrances division, and will front its campaign for its new line, Notorious.

The new campaign has been photographed by Michael Thompson and the commercial film has been directed by Wong Kar-Wai.

While the news of Casta’s appointment has been around for months, this is the first official announcement from the L’Oréal group.

‘Laetitia’s glamour, daring and powerful femininity make her the perfect face for this seductive fragrance,’ says Guillaume de Lesquen, President, Worldwide, Ralph Lauren Fragrances, in a press release. ‘She is classically beautiful, but lives her life in a completely modern way. Laetitia is Notorious.’

Casta was discovered at age 15 in Corsica by a talent scout, and persuaded her parents to move to Paris so she could pursue her modelling career. Her natural, youthful looks and curvy figure have seen her model widely in France—she was a favourite of Elle and Marie Claire—and is easily one of the country’s best known in the industry. She is recorded as measuring 5'6½" (1·69 m) in height.

In 1993, she signed with Guess Jeans for a successful advertising campaign, and in 1996, became one of Victoria’s Secret’s models.

She crossed over into acting in 1999 with Astérix et Obélix contre Cæsar, though her role was relatively minor. She gained more critical attention in La bicyclette bleue in 2000. She has continued to achieve higher goals in her acting career and will appear on stage in Elle t’attend at the Théâtre Madeleine in Paris this month.

In 2000, Casta was named as Marianne, the French face of womanhood—such praise may well earn her the tag of supermodel in some people’s eyes. She may well qualify: she is recognized by those outside the fashion world, and her first name alone does signify who she is. In earning terms, she is well behind Gisèle Bündchen and Heidi Klum but it is profile that determines whether the super- prefix applies. Until recently she even overshadowed Carla Bruni.

Lucire’s earlier impressions of Casta were less stellar in her earlier years, as she tended to stick to the script in interviews and getting across the sponsor’s message. However, most critics will agree that she has improved greatly in her acting career and her looks, as the new Ralph Lauren campaign indicates, have not diminished.

The Notorious campaign breaks this month in the US.

Apparement Laetitia n'accepte pas ou ne veut pas reconnaitre sa valeur. Elle continue de jouer l'actrice pour des hommes qui ont du avoir un terrible problème durant leur jeunesse pour être homosexeulle aujourd'hui et elle continue de jouer pour des réalisateurs comprométant sa vie de femme...Est-ce une aventure avec Yannick Renier qui a fait naître ce choix et un Stephano "libertin" qui n'assume pas non plus sa "compagne" ?
Celà confirmerai le plaisir que prends le monde dans ces malheurs? Pourquoi être et donner du bonheur quand on peut faire le contraire ? J'ai ma raison pour celà ou plutôt le manque, loin de moi le plaisir et plutôt le dégout...Dois-je deffinitivement ne plus croire en l'Amour et mourir en âne deçu?

Taiwanese director ready to begin shooting of Louvre 'face'
Central News Agency
2008-10-15 09:39 PM

Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang was personally received Tuesday by the director of the Louvre Museum in Paris, less than a month before shooting begins at the famous museum for Tsai's latest film called "Visages."

The director, along with leading actress Laetitia Casta and actor Lee Kang-sheng, were welcomed by Henri Loyrett, the museum's director, and they gathered in front of Leonardo da Vinci's painting "St. John the Baptist," the face, or "visage" of Tsai's new endeavor.

The movie, a tribute to French New Wave cinema, will be a film within a film. It tells the story of a Chinese filmmaker who heads to the Louvre to shoot a film that revolves around the myth of Salome and her request to her father Herod that St. John the Baptist be beheaded.

Tsai said during the planning of the film that he was willing to shoot any painting except for da Vinci's Mona Lisa, and when reminded of Tsai's comment Tuesday, Loyrett laughed and agreed with the sentiment.

Tsai also asked Loyrett if the painting of St. John the Baptist could be exhibited in Taiwan when the film appears in movie theaters.

"It is possible for you to film wherever you want or borrow any painting, but you absolutely cannot borrow Mona Lisa, " Loyrett replied.

"Visages" is the museum's latest collaboration with filmmakers to create thematic productions based on its collection.

The release in 2006 of "The Da Vinci Code, " which showcased the museum in a number of its scenes, boosted the museum's popularity, with a record-breaking 84 million visitors setting foot in the Louvre in 2007.

"Visages, " a French-Taiwanese production, will also be another cross-cultural collaboration of different artistic elements, Loyrett noted, following the architectural cooperation with I. M. Pei in 1983 to construct the Louvre Pyramid, now a Paris landmark.

Loyrett went on to express his hope that the Louvre's significance would transcend borders through Tsai's creation.

Meanwhile, Tsai said he felt very proud and happy that a Taiwanese work would be chosen to feature the museum.

He believed that the Louvre wanted to show that cultural value could be preserved in movies, and said this Taiwanese production with French assistance would redefine art and show that movies are a type of culture as well.

After three years of preparation and NT$200 million in investment from Taiwan, France, the Netherlands and Belgium, shooting of the film is expected to begin Nov. 10.

Tsai will spend two and a half months in France and then shoot the remaining scenes in Taipei early next year.

The production has already been tapped as a possible hit at next year's Cannes International Film Festival.

27 AUGUST 2001
French supermodel Laetitia Casta and modelling agency Madison have called it quits as the beauty makes acting her first priority. And while insiders say the split was anything but amicable, executives at the famed firm insist the two parted on good terms.

“Laetitia had done eight years of great work with us, but it was time for us to go our separate ways,” says Madison boss Vincent Peters. “We wish her the best of luck with her acting.”

The Corsican model, who was discovered aged 15 on the beach with her parents, made her feature film debut in the 1999 comedy Asterix And Obelix. Since then, when not posing for Sports Illustrated’s prestigious swimsuit issue or gracing the covers of other magazines, Laetitia has starred in Gypsy and Savage Souls opposite John Malkovich. And while her films haven’t always been well-received, critics have applauded Laetitia’s efforts, going so far as to dub her the new Bridget Bardot.

The 23-year-old model, currently expecting her first child with photographer and video director Stephan Sednaoui, hasn’t been on the Madison Model books since June the firm reports. “It is correct that she is no longer being looked after by us,” says a representative from the agency. “She has appointed her father to represent her from now on.”

Laetitia Casta: "I believe in my dreams"
The former top model, actress since converted into its role in Asterix and Obelix against Caesar in 1999, is at the heart of the fresco romantic Arte on May 68 and its legacy. Interview.

Tell us about Catherine, your character.
This is a free woman, a woman who remains faithful to its ideals for forty years without trial on others. It is visionary in its thinking, but at the end of her life, she realizes she has missed love, the only thing we can not really control. She was released from everything except that.

Is that, like her, you have ideals?
My ideals? Being me and believe in my dreams to the end. It is a good way to create moments of grace and happiness around you.

What have you learned from this experience?
As a woman, it helped me understand things about the situation of women at the time. They fought for causes important, but today we tend to complain for a yes or a no and to forget the fighting, as if everything was acquired. Out of curiosity, I have read the book The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir. As a citizen, it allowed me to consolidate my political point of view, you know, the same as that of many artists! I had a political consciousness before the shooting, but it was buried. I belong to a generation who does not know too much on Ground between right and left.

You currently playing at the theater in the room waiting for you It Florian Zeller. Is it more difficult than film or television?
Let's say it's more intense, that's all, but I need all these media. I need to be on stage, I need to play is vital for me. It has always been like that, even when I was doing parades. You know, I am tired of justifying my profession as an actress because of my past dummy! Fortunately, my role in this piece-a woman who is not in anger or claim-enabled me to let go on lots of things.

Universal goes for 'Gainsbourg'
Film is studio's first French-language project

Universal’s first local-language French pic will be based on the life of Gaul’s iconic singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, who died in 1991.

“Serge Gainsbourg (vie heroique)” will mark graphic novelist Joann Sfar’s debut as a helmer.

Eric Elmosnino has been tapped to play the chanteur who was as famous for his glamorous lovers, including Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin, as he was for penning such hits as “Je t’aime ... moi non plus.”

French model Laetitia Casta will play Bardot, with Mylene Jampanoi set to play Gainsbourg’s last paramour, Bambou, and Anna Mouglalis tapped to play French singer Juliette Greco, who collaborated with Gainsbourg for many years.

Pic will trace Gainsbourg from his youth growing up in 1940s Nazi-occupied Paris, when he was called Lucien Ginsberg, through to his transformation into the hard-living showman. He died in 1991 at age 62.

Pic starts lensing Jan. 19 in Paris for 13 weeks. Universal Pictures Intl. Studio is co-producing with Studio 37, the production banner of French telco giant Orange.

One World Films’ Marc du Pontavice and Didier Lupfer are producing, with Sfar also penning the screenplay.

“Joann Sfar’s cutting-edge creativity and unique take on the character of Serge Gainsbourg is what really drew us to this project,” said Universal Pictures Intl. Studio prexy Christian Grass.

U will retain French theatrical and homevideo rights to the pic, which will be released in France in 2010.

Studio 37 gets the international rights, which will be handled by Kinology. Since launching in February, Universal Pictures Intl. Studio has been ramping up its local-language activities under Grass. The studio announced in May that it was co-funding Pedro Almodovar’s “Broken Embraces,” which reunites the Spanish helmer with muse Penelope Cruz.

UPI, along with Focus Features, is also co-funding Korean helmer Park Chan-wook’s vampire pic “Thirst.”

Originally Corsican, the dummy and actress lends freshness and light extreme sensuality Notorious, the new women's fragrance, Ralph Lauren. Meeting.

How did your collaboration with Ralph Lauren? Very well, because I had already worked with him at the age of 16 years. I loved the concept very retro ad campaign. I love Lauren Bacall, Gena Rowlands and all women who have marked the history of cinema. I approached this role as if I played in a movie and I'm very proud of the result.

A smell you moving? That of my children, and especially my baby. It's like a drug! I also like the smell of organic concrete and stone. It reminds me of the Corsican mountains that marked my youth.

The perfume you are faithful? I am not loyal to a single juice, I change constantly, depending on my mood or situation. It also happens to choose a fragrance based on the character j'incarne, like patchouli to base that I adopted for my role in Born in 68.

What are your favorite smells? I do not like the smell flowery or sweet. I prefer the mysterious odor, strong and somewhat masculine. I appreciate Notorious because it has an element of mystery that I like very much.

One way to perfume in particular? I sprayed perfume in the air and I cross the cloud droplets. I also spray in my hair. I love perfume! For me, this is an extremely sensual gives me the impression that dress from head to toe.

Your luxury every day? Take a bath and light a scented candle ... divine!
