THE ACTRESS WHO DID GET ARRESTED
Virginie de Clausade might have just wrapped her first feature, Les Rois Mages, but her life already plays like a movie. Consider the way the 20-year-old actress met her ex-boyfriend, American actor Michael Pitt (Bully, Hedwig and the Angry Inch): "We met on a New York street, went to Central Park, and then to jail, for jumping a subway turnstile. We spent 24 hours looking into each other's eyes saying, 'I love you, I love you.'"
This eccentrically romantic actress is excited to be part of what she considers a move toward a more accessible, entertaining type of French filmmaking. "Traditional French cinema is so boring," says de Clausade. "Reality all the time. But now, French directors are making action stories and fantasy films. We are opening up to a whole new type of cinema."
