Movie Sportlights—Nathalie Richard - French actress - Brief Article - Interview
Interview, Oct, 2001 by Jonathan Foreman
A PERFORMER WHO PUTS CLICHES IN JAIL
JONATHAN FOREMAN: You've worked with all sorts of amazing directors--Godard, Jacques Rivette, Olivier Assayas. Is there anyone in the States who you'd like to work with?
NATHALIE RICHARD: I'd like to work again with James Ivory [Richard's director on A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries, 1998]. And James Gray, who did Little Odessa. I like Woody Allen and Quentin Tarantino as well.
JF: American films are very popular in France yet there are critics who say, "We've got to keep them out!"
NR: It's a very big question. American movies make a lot of money in France, but this makes the distribution of independent French movies more difficult. And if every time one goes to the cinema they see something that's not in their culture, this culture may be lost.
