On the poster for the film "Les Apparences", by Marc Fitoussi, Karin Viard was the guest of Patrick Cohen on Europe 1, Wednesday noon.
The opportunity for the actress to wonder about the roles of "scary characters" with "flaws", which she likes to play in the cinema.
INTERVIEW
A sickly jealous in
Jalouse
, an abject mother in
Les Chatouilles
, a chilling and deranged nanny in
Chanson Douce
and a deceived woman with the desire for revenge in
Les Appearances
, which comes out Wednesday: Karin Viard "loves so much" to play the roles of scary characters, as she tells it at the microphone of Patrick Cohen on Europe 1. "It is very jubilant to interpret that", entrusts the actress, for whom "it becomes interesting when it is ferocious".
No moral judgment on his roles
"If there is not a huge loophole, playing 'perfect lady' does not interest me at all," said Karin Viard, "unable to lie in life".
"The more the faults are crevasses, bottomless wells, the more it is the occasion to put my gaze, my subtlety."
The Appearances
thus shows a bourgeoisie where betrayals are numerous behind the smiles of facades.

Flaws, but no judgment: "I never take my roles from a moral point of view," says the actress.
"I could play a kapo (detainee responsible for monitoring other prisoners in Nazi camps, editor's note) who knocked out a kid in front of her, that wouldn't threaten me internally, if it served me to make the monstrosity of this act tangible."
Passion for various facts
And Karin Viard to admit his passion for news items: "Humanity is rather kind, but can become very very mean. Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès or Natacha Kampusch ... I read the news. What makes a monster? Society? Or are we born with this lag and this monstrosity? "
