THR: You did Da Vinci Code here, and French actresses have made it big in America - Marion Cotillard, for one - so have you ever wanted to become a more Hollywood actress? It seems like it’s not a priority to you. And also, I’m not choosing my part because I want to prove anything or something to somebody. I’ve always felt very free, as I’ve had different proposals and thankfully, very quickly, I had this confidence that I could trust the imagination of directors. I never consider Amelie as a problem, so I never try to avoid her, so I keep working independently of what the audience could think about me. So do you try purposely to take roles that are much different from that character? So the role most people know you for here is Amelie. THR: You’re very well-known and famous in France, but we only get some of the movies that come from France, and even then, they’re only in so many theaters. It’s great for me to have the opportunity, that some director thought about me for something very different from the thing I did and for something I would not come up for immediately. Tautou: Well, it’s always fun when you have an interesting character and when it’s complex, and when she has an amazing destiny - even if Therese is, of course, a darker woman and much more mysterious and dry. THR: While watching the movie, I thought, is this really the same person as Amelie? That must have been fun. There’s no discussion, and it’s a nightmare, I think, for her. You have to be formatted for a certain life. The Hollywood Reporter: A character poisoning her husband usually isn’t all that sympathetic, but given the time period and her situation, it’s easier to understand her motivations.Īudrey Tautou: I found the character sympathetic because she is the victim of the system and those conventions, and the monster in the story, it’s not Therese, it’s all the violence and hypocrisy and influence that don’t let her live the life she wants.
