silent-films hollywood-films cinema
I studied cinema at the university so I had a very classical approach to it. I studied all those silent films, and then the films from the 1940's, the Nouvelle Vague, the late Hollywood films. Now I realize, as a young actor, that it's one of my duties to actually be aware of what is today's industry and today's next big directors.
memories character thinking
I think an actor can actually gather moments, memories and emotions for his next character. So, it's a constant work.
fashion thinking space
I don't think there is the same space for fashion designers to create like Yves was doing it. So, it's that he's one of the last, great geniuses in fashion.
people challenges way
The most challenging thing is how to portray someone that is so well known that people still recall him in a very precise way.
