INTERVIEW

It was a dark event that marked the start of a new life.

At the age of 14, Isabelle Carré tried to end her life, before ending up in a psychiatric ward.

It was there that she discovered her way, in front of a film with Romy Schneider, before becoming a few years later the Oscar-winning actress known to all.

Guest of

There is not only one life in life 

this Saturday on Europe 1, she agrees to return to this passage in her life. 

A double heartache

"The most decisive reason for trying to erase myself from life was heartache," says Isabelle Carré.

A heartache which is actually twofold.

The first concerns classical dance: "I dreamed of myself as a dancer, but I was not gifted. So I was struggling in the last row with very severe teachers. This renunciation of classical dance, which was really a passion, was my first. heartache. And the second was a boy. I realized, that he was dating me because of a bet and not at all because he loved me. "

Two important heartaches to which we must add "family upheavals", led Isabelle Carré to feel a "given moment a little in a vacuum", she explains.

The revelation thanks to Romy Schneider

The actress was then placed in the psychiatric ward of the Necker-Enfants Malades hospital, a "rather dark place" in which she saw a ray of light appear on the horizon.

"I saw for the first time, in a very small TV from one of the patients, Romy Schneider in the film

A woman at her window.

She had a line which said 'prefer the risks of life to the false certainties of death '".

A sentence that Isabelle Carré immediately recopied in a notebook which will become over time the collection of her "jewelry sentences".

And it was by constantly replaying these different sentences that she was saved by "the words".

“Art is much more than a way of having fun,” she slips into the microphone of Europe 1. “I wanted to replay these sentences, but how? By enrolling in a theater course. "

A few years later, in 1992, she landed her first major role in the feature film 

Beau Fix 

and was nominated in the category of best female hope at the César.

A prelude to her consecration, 11 years later, in 2003, to the César for best actress she received for her role in the film
