Ludivine Sagnier Exclusive Interview

One of France’s rising stars, Ludivine Sagnier achieved recognition both home and abroad through her collaboration with François Ozon, playing the innocent, youngest daughter in 8 Women and the sexually enigmatic Julie in Swimming Pool. She has worked with some great figures in French cinema, from Alain Resnais (I Want to Go Home) to Claude Miller (A Secret, La Petite Lili), and was recently seen on UK screens in Jean-François Richet’s critical and commercial smash Mesrine, alongside Vincent Cassel. Sagnier chats to CinéMoi about her role, with another giant of the French screen Claude Chabrol, in The Girl Cut in Two (La Fille Coupée en deux) and recounts the true story of an ambitious American weather-girl in the early 1900s on which Chabrol’s gripping film about power and deception is based.
