Living legend of French cinema, Isabelle Adjani seems difficult to understand. Proof of this can be found in Florence Foresti's sketch and her cult phrase “I'm not crazy you know”, which remains in everyone's memory. The actress reacts to this sequence to illustrate her thoughts on the notion of absence for a star.
“I'm not crazy you know”: A sketch by Florence Foresti that Isabelle Adjani is far from having forgotten…
The rest after the ad
A living myth in the skin of a legendary myth. Isabelle Adjani publishes the text of the play she performed on stage with her co-author Olivier Steiner, Near Marilyn's published by the Observatory. If the life of the French actress is distinct from that of the American icon, their existences intersect in particular in the image they project on others, between fantasies, realities and exaggerations. For the magazine Rolling Stonethe actress with the unrivaled record of five César awards spoke about a particular episode…
To answer questions about her absences between different projects, Isabelle Adjani specifies that this is part of “something“, of “the image of the star“. On the one hand, there were moments which corresponded to periods of her life during which she wanted to favor “private sphere“, notably, one supposes, the arrivals of her two boys, Barnabé in 1979 – whose father is the director and cinematographer Bruno Nuytten, then Gabriel Kane in 1995, whom she had with the Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day -Lewis.
However, Isabelle Adjani specifies that she has not been absent for a while. To illustrate her point, she revives the unforgettable memory of Florence Foresti’s sketch “in Marie Stuart completely perched above ground“.
“This is also the absence, the look that people can have on you, with humor or not. On has often catapulted me into the stratosphere, or even further, that can explain a certain difficulty in being perceived as presenton the cow floor, as they say. Yet here I am!“, says Isabelle Adjani in Rolling Stone.
Isabelle Adjani had already reacted to the famous Florence Foresti sketch
Isabelle Adjani unattainable, this is what makes her distant or even absent even though she is there and proves it with a lot of self-deprecation. Indeed, far from being offended by the cult parody of Florence Foresti in We are not in bed as Queen of Scotland in 2007, she even left a “nice message” by telephone to the comedian while she was giving birth to her daughter Toni. Then, she participated in a sketch with the comedy star to promote the César ceremony.
A crazy mise-en-abyme of Isabelle Adjani's powerful roles which proves that the figure of the seventh art has her feet firmly on the ground enough to be able to laugh at her characters, however “perched” they may be!
