THE DREAMERS
Q&A with Eva Green		 Search all of phase9.tv






Continued from page 1

American attitude is very different from Europe’s. Did you find that working with Michael?

Oh yes, definitely. He was very scared that people in America would think he was a porno actor and he said that if we see his penis…. it’s the end of the world! This is the reason why Jake Gyllenhaal turned down the part. He was very worried about his girlfriend.

How comfortable was he on set?

We were acting like children. We would scream (making a child’s voice “Oh we’re naked!”. We were very comfortable.

Has anybody in your family seen the movie yet? Do they have any opinion?

They are going to see it [next] Tuesday evening.

How does this make you feel?

I am worried because of my mother, because she is going to see my performance and she is quite hard. Then she is going to see me naked and my dad is going to see me as well, and that is even worse!

Have you tried to prepare them?

Yes I have.


How? Did you tell them to go and get popcorn before certain scenes?

I don’t really know how they are going to react…

How long have you been an actress? Did you start very young?

No, I started two years ago. Before that I did two years in a drama school.

Is it when you came to London?

I only stayed in London for two months.

What do you remember of your experience in London?

I actually don’t remember much about London. I had 8 hours a day of school and it was very intense. I loved the way teachers worked at the school. It is much more serious then in France. We had a voice tutor, an improvisation course and you had to study authors.

Would you like to come to London to do some theatre?

Oh yes, Oh my God, yes! But I have to practice my English first.

What about America? Would you like to go there?

Yes, I think it’s the dream of every actor. Everybody wants to work in America.

With which directors would like to work with?

David Lynch, the director of THE HOUR, Lars Von Trier, Spike Jonze, David Fincher.

What’s your preparation as an actress? Are you the method type actress? How did you get inside your character?

I like to do some work before the scene. For example Michael wouldn’t know his lines in the mornings. He likes improvising, while I don’t. Plus there was the problem with the English. I did two months with an English tutor and I watched all the films we talk about in THE DREAMERS. I am also the kind of person that works also when we are not shooting, creating the character in my mind.

What were your impressions on Louis Garrel? He is the son of a very famous French director.

When I met him for the first time he was very mysterious. He was acting like a … man fatale!! I don’t know if you can say that! But he is just a little boy! He is very funny!
