“I like the intensity, not the violence.” Carole Bouquet’s film masterclass in Deauville

As a teenager, Carole Booke skipped school to go to the movies. He sees everything, “not just the good.” Between the ages of 18 and 22, his cinephile became clearer on the benches of the film library. Since then, he continues to feed it. Also, picking ten films to tell the story of American cinema this week, September 9, was no easy task.

However, one thing was obvious. Martin Scorsese, whom he considers one of the greatest masters of Hollywood, and with whom he admits that he almost starred. “It was for Age of Innocence. I would like to do it for the role, but above all to see the film,” he says before showing his artistic affinity with great humor.

A passion for Italian neorealism

He notes My beautiful lady pay homage to the film’s costume designers, Worry bearing to tell the story of the alchemy between Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, It shines hail Jack Nicholson’s freedom and The independent to declare his love for Marilyn Monroe and ironically about his age difference with Clark Gable, his on-screen romantic partner.

So many films that also allow him to build bridges with his other cinephile passions, such as Italian neorealism or his career with Luis Buñuel or Bertrand Blier. But the conversation ends already, continue Drive By Nicolas Winding Refn, a romantic film, silent and infused with some violence. “I realize that many of the films selected have this in common. But what I like is the intensity, not the violence.

It’s no surprise to see him on the poster Prisoners by Arnaud de Pallier presented at this 49th edition of the Deauville American Film Festival. She plays one of the supposedly “hysterical” women locked up in the Salpetriere mental ward in the late 19th century. No doubt, an intense film awaits in theaters on February 7th.
