Arte will broadcast on Wednesday January 26, 2022 at 10:45 p.m. the documentary Marie Trintignant, your shattered dreams, directed by his mother Nadine Trintignant. In an interview with TV Star, this January 17, the director evokes the last days of the actress.
On January 21, the luminous Marie Trintignant should have celebrated her 60th birthday. But on August 1, 2003, the actress died of cerebral edema resulting from the beatings of her then companion, the singer of Noir Désir, Bertrand Cantat. As if to tear her daughter away from the night in which she has been plunged since the tragedy that occurred in Vilnius, Nadine Trintignant realized Marie Trintignant, your shattered dreams, which will be broadcast on Wednesday January 26, 2022 on Arte at 10:45 p.m.
For TV Star the director returned, in this issue of January 17, to the objective of her film: “Even if I talk about the fate of battered women, I refuse to allow Marie to become its flag spokesperson. I wanted to respect her by not discussing her private life, but rather her professional path or her militant anger. I also meant her ability to shine the sun wherever she went. The director acknowledges, however, that she did not come out unscathed from this experience. “Create a movie with filmed archives, these photos that move and talk, it’s very painful“, she confided.
” Il was like all those people who want to have a grip”
Still angry, the ex-wife of Jean-Louis Trintignant returns however on the Calvary of Mary with which she was spinning Colette, the last role of the actress, at the time of her death. She thus reveals that Marie had changed andhad lost his joy of living“. Nadine Trintignant remembers: ” There was one telling detail: Marie usually never left the set when she needed a little sleep. So we put him on a mattress that the technicians straddled, laughing because they loved him. On Colette, once the grip is finished, she slipped into her caravan and joined her assassin there…”
On Bertrand Cantat, whom she refuses to name other than that, the director still says: ” he was like all those people who want to have a grip and start by keeping their victim away from his friends and then from his family. At the end of the day, after the shooting, I no longer saw Marie. It’s the first time it’s happened to me. It was clear that it was her killer who wanted her to give up everything.”.
The director of Jade’s house hope that the film will allow us to remember the “sincerity and generosity” of his daughter. She can be sure, the fans, many, have not forgotten anything.
