Thursday November 16, the broadcast of season 1 of Master Crimes continues on TF1 from 9:10 p.m. In this pleasant fiction to discover, Muriel Robin (who shared with AlloCiné her memories about the filming) opposite her wife Anne Le Nen.
AlloCiné also had the opportunity to speak with the latter about this experience…
AlloCiné: Tell us about Barbara, your character in “Master Crimes“…
Anne Le Nen: What appealed to me about her is that I think many women will be able to recognize themselves in her. She’s not just an authority figure through her work. She’s also a single mother with a difficult teenager, who constantly juggles her professional responsibilities and her private life, which is actually quite catastrophic! There was richness on a human level behind his profession.
Did you have a hidden passion for news before joining the series?
To be honest, I’m crazy about Let the accused enter…But absolute crazy! And I’m very good at investigating and finding the culprit, which is not the case with Muriel at all! It’s fascinating, especially when it affects someone ordinary, to see what can happen in the human psyche to suddenly lead to terrible things. There’s something fascinating about that. And what really appealed to me about Master Crimes was that after reading the first six episodes, I couldn’t find who had committed the murder!
How would you define the budding relationship between Barbara and the law clerk, Théodore (Michael Cohen) ?
It’s so delicious to see them completely clumsy! They are not good at love at all. This relationship is not like the others, they are really struggling! (laughs) I won’t tell you if it will eventually come to fruition or not, but I think it will be very nice for the public to follow.
How did filming the date in the butcher shop go?
It was very funny and ultimately very pleasant! I always told myself that I would go back one evening, because it’s a real butcher’s shop! It’s a place that exists where you can eat very good meat on a corner of the table, like that. It’s not romantic at all, but it’s original.
What did you think of Thaïs Vauquières, Nordine Ganso, Astrid Roos And Victor Meutelet Who gave you the answer?
I found them all wonderful. They all have different personalities. It’s not sycophancy and not because I’m playing with them! They amazed me with their seriousness… Besides, I was almost a little frustrated because I’m not around them much. It’s especially Muriel… We said at the end of the season that we were going to rebel against production so that they would write sequences for us together! (laughs)
Were the interrogation scenes hard to shoot?
Yes and as we were shooting by location, the week we were installed in the interrogation room, I carried out all the interrogations over two or three days! That is to say that I spent my days doing interrogations only for terrible things… We were in the meanders of the sordid, the sad, the macabre, etc.
When we say “Cut!“, I cut it and I’m no longer in that emotion. It wasn’t hard because it’s the job but it was emotionally heavy sometimes. I ended the day exhausted, I was done! When we live the stage, we are crossed by lots of different emotions and energies. It crosses the body and the heart…
Are you hoping for a season 2 for “Master Crimes“?
A thousand times yes! We are very lucky. It’s very joyful to work with people you admire, in front of and behind the camera. And I hope that we will do good for people because we are living in a period which is dramatic, which is terrible, which is horrible. We are all very impacted in our daily lives by what is happening at the international level… If there can be little bubbles like that, things that allow us to escape for the space of an episode, the series will be perhaps therapeutic for viewers.
