Audrey Tautou wants to return to cinema, but to direct a film, this time

“See you in ten years,” laughs the actress. “Because the time frame of animation is long.”

End of 2022, Audrey Tautou justified his desire to get away from movie sets without completely stopping her acting profession:

“I never said I was stopping, I will never say it because it's not the truth, explained the interpreter of Amélie Poulain, not seen on the big screen since Santa and co.by Alain Chabat, On the looseby Pierre Salvadori, and Jesus Rollsby John Turturro, between 2017 and 2019. You never stop being an actress. I love shooting, I love the atmosphere of a film, I have never been disappointed or mistreated, on the contrary. I have been very spoiled in this profession. Honestly, I have always been very happy. It's not a lie.”

The French star explained that she wanted to take time to raise her daughter, adopted in 2019, as well as to devote herself to other activities such as photography, a field that fascinates her. In fact, this winter, the 48-year-old artist is releasing an album of photos entitled Superfacial (at Fisheye). The opportunity to confide again about her relationship to the profession of actress, about BFMTV :

“Photography has always accompanied me at times when I practiced it more than others, but it's true that I always had a camera with me, she begins, before discussing her sudden fame in 2001, when Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film enjoyed enormous success all over the world. I know that when I'm on a film set, I'm at home, and I haven't decided to treat myself to an enchanted break out of rejection of the profession of actress. In any case, I don't believe in actors' farewells in the cinema. It's still such a joy, such an adventure to make a film and to act that it's difficult to give it up.”

Audrey Tautou then shares her new desire for cinema: to make an animated film.

“I wrote a story for children,” she confides. “I wanted to develop it into a screenplay. It allows you to be very creative, to have a lot of freedom. I the hope of being able to realize it. It will take a long time because the time frame of the animation is long, so see you in ten years!
