Your best memory in theaters? 

"A friend of my parents took me to the movies for the first time without them. It was a bit of my thug, adventure film: it was Tim Burton's first Batman, which I had seen at the Gaumont Alésia. It was the first time that I went to the movies without my parents, so it was madness. I must have been 7 years old, besides it's really young to see Batman, it's super creepy Joker! But I thought it was awesome. Maybe that's where that great love of Tim Burton that I had all my teenage years came from. "

Your worst memory in theaters? 

“Back when I had the UGC card, I had a lot less remorse about leaving in the middle of a movie if it sucked. And I remember leaving pretty quickly in the middle of

Van Helsing

. was really, really bad. It sucked, it was badly written, the dialogue was rotten. I didn't give the product a chance, but I remember a really bad movie. "

Which movie would you like to live in?

"

The Tenenbaums

. Without hesitation. This is my favorite Wes Anderson movie, maybe my favorite movie. In this house there is a room for board games and I love everything about this house . In fact, I would like to be part of this family, I find it wonderful ".

The cult movie you've never seen?

"There are so many! There are even some that I am able to talk about as if I saw them by force. There is the one where people tell me 'what ?!' and make me repeat five times so much. don't believe it: I haven't seen The 

Shining.

 There it is, it ended up being part of me. One of my personality traits. Now I want to see it, but there is a kind of popular pressure that tires me ... And if I finally never saw him, would my life really be so bad? " 

What movie do you love, but ashamed to admit? 

"I'm not ashamed. But not long ago with my boyfriend, we made a list of movies that are really not glorious movies, but that the other hadn't seen. And I told him. showed a movie that I remember laughing about when I was little, a French comedy called

Promotion Canapé.

And we watched it. And I was very embarrassed, because nothing is going right anymore. in 2020 in this movie! That's not possible at all. " 

The movie that made you laugh the most?

"Sacha Baron Cohen's films are perhaps the films that made me laugh the most, really physically, to cry, not to be able to breathe. But otherwise, I have a really strong memory of the first time I have saw

Asterix: Mission Cleopatra

. Really, I had a very, very stomach ache, I was laughing so much. It was incredible ".

Which movie made you cry the most?

"

My Girl

, and it still works. Unbelievable. And her whole life will work. When she shows up at her boyfriend's funeral, who died with his bee stings. Besides, now in anticipation, I start. already crying a quarter of an hour before the stage. And then we are a community anyway: the people who see this film but who still cry when they are adults, these are the people who really have a heart! "

And the soundtrack that has marked your life the most?

"Same, I have really cucu answers, but I think it's 

Grease

. What could we do with the songs with my sister, sometimes it was me Sandy, sometimes I was Danny , in yogurt obviously since I did not have an optimum command of English. All the songs of

Grease

, we know them by heart with my sister. "
