The two actresses play Adam’s interestIt was presented at the opening of the 20255 of Cannes. A film that is in full tension, which raises the issue of care, communication and motherhood.
It’s a little seen on the screen. An unsuccessful mother, abusing himself in spite of himself. In Adam’s interest (1) Laura Vandel, which was presented at the 78th Cannes Festival, commenting on Rebecca, a young single mother, whose son Adam suffered from malnutrition. Rebecca likes her child, but it refuses to feed her properly, taking a risk of recalling her. In the hospital, where the little boy is treated, the nurse, Lucy (Luca Druke) bends them to help them, even if it means surpassing the limits set on it. In the many sequences, we literally cling to the traces, the two women’s doubts and fears, which is forbidden to save the land of life. Tension, which highlights the complexity of motherhood, the attention we pay to the other (title, Adam’s interestPerhaps it increases the question of how we care for people in general), especially in the hospital. Her two actresses experienced it as close as possible.
Madame Figaro: What does every temptation have a scenario? Adam’s interest ?
Anamaria vartolomei.- I was quite surprised by Laura’s very visual, very simple, very accurate records. I liked these characters who are always in a very restless gray area that we cannot judge because the scenario does not allow us. And I loved to discover the hospital world I didn’t know. Against the background of some instructions, this quite disarmed mother was also disarmed by this nurse, related to his desire and its instinct, and what hospital prohibits him. I found it very rich, a very nuance. I really liked Laura’s first film, World (2021). It was a bonus and no less important.
Léa Drucker: I liked the meeting of these two characters in women. Between this nurse, which suddenly overestimated in a story that did not do. It was nice to try to find the reasons why something suddenly drowned. And I found this idea very strong that the child passes well, the parents also need to go well. It is almost a society.

Nothing explained in your heroes’ behavior, but are you looking for reasons to make them better embody?
Av- As soon as you read the script, I asked who clinging to the child, or vice versa. From there I wanted us to feel that we can deliver the releases of motherhood. I don’t have children, but I have the impression so much that when someone has one, we do our lives and responsibilities. Now I wanted Rebecca to become a little “everyone’s man”, a woman next door, mama next door. That we feel that he forgets himself that he disappears behind his son when he may not be good. I told myself that he could be lost that he had to reunite himself, and that it could not be anything.
Ld.- We can also understand that a very cowardly environment is playing on your character. Loneliness …
Av- Or financial inaccuracy … We don’t know whether he has money or not, we imagine what we want, and it allowed me to design everything he wanted. I wanted mothers to know themselves so that they had permission to make mistakes.
Indelicite Obviously, I told myself because what Lucy’s life sounds closely for me. But in Laura’s cinema, she leaves a space for the audience. What uses is resonated is not necessarily to explain something in a concrete way. These things happen to us in life. Suddenly the human connection becomes stronger than function.
You were shot at the hospital. What memory do you have this environment?
Ld.- We lost the idea of time because we were all blocked with artificial lights. It was hot, it was summer, we used to wear great sweaters … But it was very close to the daily life of the nursing home, which never complains.
Av- I sometimes wanted to complain about fatigue. We shot a movie in an area. But people have worked in the rooms next door, and they are not given the opportunity to complain. Nor to stop.
Ld.- But we were also helped by the nursing staff, the nurses gave us technical advice. It was a meeting, we shared what we were doing. I told them my life as actress and they told me to them. It was very, very happy. One day I even had a game advice. The nurse said: “Technically, that was great. But it was much better before. ” I found it great, it was a real exchange.
What does Mother’s Movie say?
Av- I believe that we are a woman before being a mother. And it’s not because we have a child that we are mature immediately. We have additional pressure when we are not particularly more prepared. Sometimes it’s easier for some women than others. In any case, my image moved me with its fragile. It hurts me that he does not allow himself to fail in his duty as a mother, when it’s the first time.
Ld.- I believe that the film also talks about the motherhood, we always want to give a picture of perfection. It’s almost taboo to say that you can fail as a mother. Now I believe that there are enough elements in our world, in our world and our society, which makes the mother alone, can have great difficulties. It is very guilty to tell women that being a mother is great. Yes, that’s great, but it can be a breeding basis. Anamaria’s character is a young woman who does not trust her, and therefore has no confidence around her world, while she finds her child to be potentially toxic. I like that we have two views. These institutions protect the child very good, of course. But by listening to the mother, it is important. In order for the child to be good, you have to treat his mother. Except that the hospital does not have time, he is there to treat the child. These are nonsense that I can’t judge as an actress. But these are the questions presented by the film.
