“It's a woman with whom I tied a bond on the set who was brilliant.
She sent me movies to watch.

"broken in two"
before analyzing
"when you write films and you have the chance to bring characters to life, I swear to you that you have the impression that they are immortal.

Mylène, you will not be forgotten and I hope that this immense actress will be remembered for a long time”
