Cinema: in “Par amour”, Cécile de France dabbles in fantasy
At 49, the Belgian actress, who conquered France, returns in “Par amour”, by Élise Otzenberger. She plays a mother who discovers that her son hears voices, and who then decides to support him.
True to her image, she appears smiling. With around forty films and two Césars, she has conquered French cinema. She arrived from Belgium 30 years ago, with a name, Cécile de France, which many find amusing. In “Par amour”, she plays a mother on the verge of a nervous breakdown. One day, Simon, his eldest son, told him he heard voices. She decides to support him. “I like the fantasy genre, it awakens my childish soul”confides the actress.
Cécile de France explains that her vocation as an actress comes from childhood: “It was the day I heard my grandfather singing regularly to himself in his bathroom. Once, while eating my toast, I heard him singing again, and I said to myself that I don’t weren’t going to play in my bathroom, but for real”. Although childhood is now far away, Cécile de France assures that she is not afraid of growing old: “I want to enjoy the positive side of all this, a kind of intellectual maturity”.
