Hollywood So French!
Feb 22, 2023When we talk about France and French people in Hollywood, it’s always the same thing: Love, seduction, arts, Parisian women, the French-lover, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe. Passion, transgression. So many words that the whole world instantly connects to France. An image shaped by American cinema since the beginning of the 20th century and which still sticks to the French today. Here is the history of French people in Hollywood and the clichés that have accompanied them.

Gene Tierney, une star oubliée
May 13, 2017Au fil d’extraits lus de ses Mémoires et tirés de sa filmographie, qu’elle a traversée avec une délicatesse teintée d’élégance – trente-quatre films –, Clara et Julia Kuperberg (Billy Wilder – La perfection hollywoodienne, Joni Mitchell – Le spleen et la colère) retracent le parcours d’une femme éprouvée par la vie et d’une comédienne à l’aura mystérieuse et au jeu subtil, tout en intériorité, qui se souciait bien plus de son art que de son image. Comme le dit Martin Scorsese, ici longuement interviewé, qui lui voue un culte et dont la salle de projection personnelle est ornée des affiches de Péché mortel et de Laura, "derrière le masque de sa beauté" perçaient ses fêlures, qui la rendaient si touchante. Avec, aussi, les émouvants témoignages de ses petits-enfants et l’éclairage d’historiens du cinéma, le portrait sensible d’une grande actrice oubliée, populaire en son temps et cependant peu reconnue par le système.
