Thanks to
Gala.fr, I discovered some quotes by the incomparable Miss Béatrice Dalle. She mentioned her admiration for Isabelle Huppert as an actress (of course; the two starred together in Michael Haneke's
Le Temps du loup [
Time of the Wolf]). And did you ever wonder what makes Mlle Dalle shiver? Pasolini's films. Above is a photo that I accidentally, and amiably, stumbled upon using the Google Image Search of my two favorite screen sirens, Béatrice and Asia Argento (although I do wonder if it's been photoshopped).
Also thanks to Gala.fr, I found some photos of my favorite contemporary French actor, Romain Duris, during his first audition for Cédric Klapisch's
Le Péril jeune. He was barely 20 and surprisingly dreadlocked. He would go on to act in five other Klapisch films:
Chacun cherche son chat [
When the Cat's Away],
Peut-être,
L'Auberge espagnole,
Les Poupées russes [
Russian Dolls] and the most recent,
Paris.
Back to Pasolini, I found an interesting video entitled
Enfants de Salò, which is featured on the French DVD of
Salò, of four controversial French filmmakers talking about the impact the film had on them. Gaspar Noé (
Irréversible), Catherine Breillat (
Fat Girl), Claire Denis (
Trouble Every Day) and Bertrand Bonello (
Tiresia) each discuss the power of Pasolini's final film and how it reflected on their own work, or at least understanding of the cinema. The film is entirely in French and without subtitles, so non-French speakers beware.
