Bunny in BB in the “Bardot” miniseries, Julia de Nunez continues with a successful first role in the cinema, under the eye of Régis Wargnier. In the enchanting family drama “reparation”, the 24 -year -old French actress plays the only daughter of a star chef (Clovis Cornillac) promised to walk on her traces. After the disappearance of her father and her boyfriend (Julien de Saint John) during a hunting game, she received a mysterious invitation for Taiwan.
Why did this father-daughter relationship and immediately talk to you?
Because it’s not long since I left the house myself. I know it’s hard to leave, to let your parents get rid of and build your life as a young woman. I felt in the script that beyond wanting to make Clara a talented cooking who will take up the torch, his father does not want her daughter to go. And Clara hides her boyfriend what’s going on with her father because she is afraid of the consequences and therefore keeps protecting him.
Did the universe of gastronomy interest you?
Not really because I don’t cook, eat very badly and don’t have a fine palace at all. On this point, Clara and I are not like us, but it was an opportunity for me to discover this world. Julien and I followed a small training in a restaurant in Pont-Aven with the chef. I learned a lot, but would lie if I said that now I am eating myself and I have developed culinary capacities.
What is worried about going to Taiwan?
I was very afraid of the plane. I even thought of giving up the film because of this trip to the other end of the world. But it was so meaningful with Clara’s initiation journey. She leaves to discover a truth. And I had the feeling that this story was going to serve me. The proof, I am no longer afraid of the plane. We must always be a little violence when we are confronted with certain events in life and this role has arrived at a good time in mine.
Was this role a little less heavy to wear than that of Bardot?
No, because these two roles were great challenges at different levels. In the end, I felt a little damaged, but also repaired. But it is sure that “Bardot” was my first experience in front of a long, long, long camera. It was a bit of my deflowering, we’re going to say. I always want to find an innocence in all the projects that I approach. I am happy because this vibration, this desire and this joy are always there.
