My Life Behind the Camera with Luis Bunuel, Francois Truffaut, Roman Polanski, and Lars Von Trier
Hardback
Publication Date: 01/07/2007
Marvelously opaque diaries of the great French cineaste.-The Observer (London) Catherine Deneuve's startling portrayal of an icy, sexually adventurous housewife in Luis Buuel's Belle de Jour established her as one of the most remarkable and compelling actresses of her generation. Forty years later, Deneuve is still widely regarded as one of the grandes dames of French cinema. Despite her international appeal, however, Deneuve has always chosen to avoid the ferocious glare of Hollywood and seldom allows the public into her private life. In these memoirs, Deneuve takes the reader behind the scenes of her life and career in this fascinating collection of seven previously unpublished diaries that she kept while filming abroad. In her own words, Deneuve charts the shooting of films such as The April Fools (1968), co-starring Jack Lemmon; Tristana (1969), directed by Buuel; Indochine (1991), shot in Vietnam; and Lars von Trier's acclaimed Dancer in the Dark (1999), co-starring Bjork. Including a never-before-published interview with famed director Pascal Bonitzer, The Private Diaries of Catherine Deneuve offers an intimate look into Deneuve's life both on and off screen. Arguably the most compelling blonde in film history, the international star of Roman Polanski's Repulsion has produced a memoir every bit as riveting as her movie persona. Catherine Deneuve's breakthrough role came with Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, which won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. She has worked with cinema's finest directors, starring in Buuel's Belle de Jour and Franois Truffaut's iconic Le Dernier Mtro. In 1992 she won a Csar Award and was nominated for an Oscar for her role inIndochine.
