Jeanne Moreau
Self-portrait of an actress
' Filming is a very personal and deep experience. If you want to be true to the film, true to the director, true to the public and true to the character you are playing, you have to dig very deep inside yourself.'
Jeanne Moreau talks to Peter Adam and examines her work and relationship with writers, actors, directors and technicians. Omnibus also shows extracts from Lumière, the first film which Jeanne Moreau has written and directed herself. ' I think the expression directing is misused - it has an aggressive meaning. Directing, for me, is leading people into the special world you want them to enter, and inviting them to share your emotions. Being an actress myself. I have a more intimate relationship with my cast, because most people don't realise that there is a real anxiety or terror when an actor starts a scene for the first time.' With extracts from some of her films.
