We lost another great person today, Jeanne Moreau, the French actress. Of the many who praised her I like this quote, 'Her charisma, intelligence, sexuality and star quality created a new space in postwar cinema'. She played in the New Wave but she wasn't defined by it or any genre of performance. She was her own person.
In her own words:
When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art.
What a loss! Who can forget Jeanne Moreau in Jules and Jim, a classic?
ReplyDeleteShe is unforgettable, and must be mourned greatly by French movie makers and viewers.
