On the occasion of the release of her new film, La Passagère, the Belgian actress confided in her relationship to the body and to age to our colleagues from Version Femina.


Since

The Spanish Inn,

by Cédric Klapisch, released in 2002, Cécile de France has been coming and going in the French cinematographic landscape, and it is always with as much pleasure as we find her.

This time, she plays Chiara in

La Passagère

, the first film by Héloïse Pelloquet.

A woman in love with two men, an intense character for which the Belgian actress had to bare herself, in every sense of the word.

On the occasion of the release of the film, the latter confided in the magazine

Version Femina.

today's body

Returning to the question of scenes of intimacy, Cécile de France evokes the impact of social networks on the vision of the body today.

“[They] have reinforced the dictates of appearance and we need more than ever realistic images to identify with in order to dream and live.

I found it important to show my body as a 47-year-old woman as it is.

It's crazy to put it this way: I'm still young.

But I am no longer in the standards of beauty.

For the actress, it is important to detach herself from the standards imposed by virtual society and to anchor herself in reality, which the film does in her eyes.

"The character of Félix Lefebvre — his on-screen partner — still falls in love with this woman,

who works and does not correspond to the images of femininity that society feeds us.

It is his strength, his courage, his humor that appeals to this boy, not a so-called perfection.

The one who won two Cesars also considers her body as "an extraordinary work tool".

She explains that she likes to transform for a role: “we color our hair, we build muscle, we lose weight…”.

An art of metamorphosis that helps him get under the skin of the characters.

We have indeed seen her with a short haircut for

L'Auberge espagnol

, with a long and smooth bob in

Möbius

(Éric Rochant, 2013) , or brown in

Les Gardiens de l'ordre

(Nicolas Boukhrief, 2010) and

Ou is the hand of the headless man

(Guillaume and Stéphane Malandrin, 2009).

Finally, the actress explains how she finds her balance.

And it's not in fame “I show myself little outside of promotions and I don't have to force myself.

I do not exercise this profession to be exposed, but for the love of comedy.

But rather in a simple life, in communion with nature.

“I feel more fulfilled in nature.

It's almost hygienic, mandatory for my mental and physical health.

But I am lucky to have been able to make this choice while continuing my job.

It is a privilege and I am aware of it.

For me, not forgetting that we are part of a greater whole is essential to our balance.
