Catherine Deneuve said she
"revealed a lot about myself" in The Truth, the opening film at
this year's Venice Film festival showing on Wednesday night.
"I put a lot of myself as a woman into the actress who is
protagonist of the story," the 75-year-old screen diva told
reporters on her arrival for the 76th edition of the world's
oldest film festival.
In the film by Japan director Kore-eda Hirokazu Deneuve plays
Fabienne, a monument of the French cinema who is visited by her
screenwriter daughter Lumir (Juliette Binoche), an actress
manqué with whom she has a problematic relationship, ahead of
the publication of her memoirs and and while she is working on a
film with a new star.
The film depicts the stormy reunion between the daughter and
her actress mother, Catherine, against the backdrop of
Catherine's latest role in a sci-fi picture as a mother who
never grows old.
