A source of pride for Mallory Wanecque, actress from the North on display alongside François Civil and Adèle Exarchopoulos. She answers all our questions.

It’s true that we only had a preview in Paris for family and friends. The only real preview will be filmed in the North and broadcast throughout France simultaneously, I’m so happy. It’s going to be so cool. Three rooms just for us in the Lomme cinema! I’m really proud.

I just finished filming the Amazon Gang and technically today is my only day off of the week so I’m in bed, surrounded by food and reading scripts! [Rires].

Yes, it’s a film by Mélissa Drigeard, with a great cast. Already Laura Felpin, my favorite, and Kenza Fortas, who played in Scheherazade and who became my great friend. We are defending a true story, that of five women who committed a series of robberies in the Avignon region at the end of the 1980s.

That’s my thing, danger, guns, I love that so much. And it was the first time I shot in the South!

No, I turned The Worstmy first film which earned me a chance to climb the steps at Cannes, in Boulogne-sur-Mer. It’s thanks to him that everything happened. And for phew lovewe filmed in Dunkirk and I am proud of it, proud of my region, of showing incredible places that are not necessarily known.

This film is about the power of a first love.

Actress starring in “L’amour ouf”

In one sentence? Impossible ! It’s the story of two teenagers who are separated by everything. They are not meant to be together, but a common injury brings them together. He finds himself unjustly in prison. Ten years later, he wants to reunite with his first love, but she has rebuilt her life. This film is about the power of a first love.

Of course ! I love it. The first to tell me that I looked like her was Rossy de Palma in Cannes. Afterwards, everyone repeated it. Until one day she texted me and said, “Girl, people can’t stop talking to me about you, we need to meet!“. A month later, we both found ourselves in the casting of Phew love.

The first film that was recommended to me when I got into the cinema after a wild casting in front of my college in Valenciennes, it was Adèle’s life. She is a model for me, as an actress but also as a woman. The films she chooses to shoot, the clothes she wears, the way she speaks, I love everything about her.

Theater wasn’t for me. But I learned a lot of things! Afterwards, it’s my daily life that teaches me the most. Every day I succeed at something, I make mistakes, and I learn from those mistakes. Life is a lesson.

Don’t tell me about it! I was so stressed I didn’t realize it! But as soon as I finished, I received back-to-back calls from my horrified mother and grandmother. They told me: “Mallory, if you let this happen again, the next time you come home things will be bad!“

So let it be said, my name is pronounced “Ouaneck“, you’ll have to get used to it! [Rires].

There is this scene, which was not kept in the editing. And it breaks my heart because, you will see, I gave myself! [Rires, encore]. We had to shoot this shot in the air, where we seemed to be flying, a bit like in a dream. I revised for three days and with Malik, we did lots of tests with the stuntmen. It was one o’clock in the morning, I was hungry, I was cold, I was in a t-shirt and shorts… And there, supplies. God only knows how much I love food. So I didn’t resist, I ate lasagna.

I barely had time to swallow my last bite and put down my plate which they called me to turn. And to turn, it turned! They had to take me down urgently, I threw up everything and found myself lying on the ground like a starfish, everyone around me being very attentive. All this to avoid keeping the stage! But hey, if the film works, Gilles promised to produce a long version.

It was my grandfather’s song and since he passed away, it’s my whole family’s song. When I listen to it, it makes me cry straight away. So yes, I also used it for this shoot.

There was this scene where I ran away and I come home crying. My father opens the door and takes me in his arms. Except when I hear “Cut!“, impossible to stop. So Alain Chabat held me against him and I cried non-stop for three or four minutes. I put snot all over his shirt. [Rires, toujours].

Crying in the arms of Alain Chabat with Blood for blood in the ears, it’s just a unique and magical moment.

I am proud of what I did, of Malik, of Gilles, of François, of Adèle, of the way she made the characters evolve. I’m proud yes, but above all, I’m happy. This film is crazy, a hymn to love, it makes you want to cuddle.

So, whether it works or not, I just want people, even if there are only ten of them to see it, to feel what I felt while shooting it: maximum Love, with a capital A.
