Elsa Zylberstein does not have a single moment of respite! While she was starring in the movie Simone, the trip of the century few months ago, the actress was passing through Nice to premiere the film We apologize for the inconvenience caused. For the occasion, she confided in the columns of Var Morning, Wednesday, August 9, 2023. Elsa Zylberstein is part of the cast of Woody Allen’s 50th feature film, Stroke of luck. An extraordinary collaboration for the actress who had dreamed of it for a long time, as she explains to Var Morning. “Working with Woody Allen was my absolute dream,” she confides. However, in this film which features a 100% French-speaking cast, she only has a small role. The poster is held by Lou de Laâge and Melvin Poupaud. The two actors play a couple that we follow throughout the film.
“I thought I was going to faint”
Elsa Zylberstein doesn’t care if it’s a small role, quite the contrary. “It’s a tiny role, but when I was told I was going to work with him, I thought I was going to pass out! That’s all that fueled my taste in cinema, it was even my obsession”, she confides. “To see him arrive in the morning with his hat, to say to him: ‘Woody do I keep this coat or not?’, I never thought I would be able to utter such a sentence one day!” A beautiful dream come true so for the French actress. In November 2023, Woody Allen entrusted the Sunday newspaper having shot this film in France, in the capital for “say thank you” to its French public. The director had already set up his cameras here, for his film Midnight in Paris, in 2011, as well as for Everybody says I love you in the 1990s. While waiting to find Elsa Zylberstein in Stroke of luck, from September 27, 2023, cinephiles can find her on the big screen with the film Sorry for the inconvenience caused by Olivier Van Hoofstadt.
