She worked with the world’s greatest actors and directors: Buñuel, Mastroianni, Lellouche, Depardieu... The film guides us throughout her career with the filmmakers with whom she invented herself not to be a “cold blonde actress”, thanks to great interviews of many artists who crossed her path.
“There are two women in you," Depardieu says to Deneuve in The Last Metro. Indeed, there is the still image, the mystery she maintains, never revealing her private life. And there is the cinema, almost the opposite. Film after film, the falsely wise and truly rebellious actress has never ceased to shatter this image that sticks to her skin, through an insatiable appetite for adventure, a taste for risk and perpetual movement, a real commitment to invent the woman she really is in the cinema. Joyfully mocking the diktats, she broke the codes of her status. From the fixed image of a cold blonde instrumentalized by the fantasies of directors in her early days, the famous "fire under the ice", to the free, funny, and transgressive icon of today, there is a whole trajectory of emancipation and self-affirmation that Catherine Deneuve has led with boldness and determination in cinema.
