He searched the gem, a serious but sassy girl, beautiful but with cracks, as was an appearance Adjani in “The Deadly Summer”. When Freya Mavor came to casting, Joann Sfar knew he was holding his heroine
“I told myself: I found the new Adjani . ‘, Says the director of “The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun,” a thriller inspired by the novel by Sébastien Japrisot whose action is set in the France of the 1970s Faced with this pretty blond Scottish 21-year-studded face freckles, ultramarine eyes, silhouette to fall, we say that the director of “Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life” has really hit the nail. The teen actress discovered in the British series “Skins” is a power bomb. His interpretation of Dany, little secretary neurotic, a bit silly but extremely sensual, embedded in a murder by a Machiavellian boss (Benjamin Biolay), has something to mix up more than a spectator, and spectators too.
Joann Sfar, author of “rabbi Chat” in comics and cinema, drew his heroine as a girl in which all can be projected. “I tried to stage women’s fantasies,” he summarizes. Red hair came by accident, a failed color haircut. “It suited her,” says Sfar. Dany would be red, sexy devil and poisonous wish.
“I am completely natural in life, or who never wears heels or miniskirts, I loved slip into this role, confirms the young woman. Playing with the cliché of the pin-up of the years 1960-1970, the little secretary of sentimental boss but a little barred. I have seen many interviews with singers or actresses of the 1960s, Marie Laforet for example, and obviously Adjani The Deadly Summer, for the girl next nerves. “
” Why Scottish? “
Benjamin Biolay, the two actors have nosed and well heard. “Game of cat and mouse is played or tigers fighting for the most violent sequences. It was very physical. “Freya Mavor says it all in perfect French, and even sophisticated. She has taught children, in La Rochelle, where she lived for three years with his brother and his parents. Born into a family of theater writers, opera singer mom, she bathed in an Anglo-Saxon culture rather austere. The ‘Skins’ series was a revelation as a springboard. “She started it all. “A few supporting roles in Scottish films, including a musical, then towards Paris. “I was rowing a bit about casting, she recalls. We wondered: Why Scottish Each time, the role eluded me for a more experienced French actress. “
The actor Pierre Niney, who recruits for” Casting “, a series of sketches on Canal +, it opens doors. “I owe him a lot,” she smiles. No doubt “the Lady in the car …” will propel Freya Mavor among the most requested actresses of the moment. She dreams of an international career with Tilda Swinton, with bold filmmakers. Although we would see in the Bond girl heroine or a hard-hitting Tarantino. We would see good everywhere, actually. “I like directors who have an original artistic universe, like Joann,” she continues. Asked what her most French and Scottish in it. “My French side, humor, taste for culture. In Scotland, she laughs, I’m more vulgar, or rather sarcastic. “
