Zinemaldia Spanish cinema is gambling its future
Marion Cotillard (Paris 1975)
is convinced that she is a privileged person. The facts thus seem to prove it. The actress, who was the first Donostia Award at the San Sebastian Festival underway, was not only the second French, after Simone Signoret, to receive an Oscar for her work in
La vida en rosa '
where she played Édith Piaf. It is also, above all other considerations, Marion Cotillard. And that, as he insisted on showing to the press on Friday, is already a degree. Actually, there are many degrees, one for each of the different ways of being her that she has been capable of since she decided to be who she is. "I am clear," she said about starting somewhere, "that
being an actress means depending on the wishes of others;
of the wishes that a director projects through you. "
In fact, the actress, in addition to being talented musician, occasional producer, mother of two children and activist whenever she can, came to San Sebastián not so much to receive a tribute as, as she recognized, to use the tribute of yore to present the latest documentary produced by her.

, follows a group of young people determined, each one of them, together and separately, to change the world. All of him. From the foundations. And here, Marion appears: "I almost feel the need to give back to society part of the attention I receive.
My responsibility is only with my work, but why not use fame to shed light on the problems that would otherwise happen? unnoticed? "
.
Cotillard admits to feeling lucky. And as evidence he presents: a) his repeatedly awarded work that knows no borders or distinction of filmmakers and that he paired the same with Christopher Nolan (
Origin
) as with Tim Burton (
Big fish
), with the Dardenne brothers
(Two days, one night)
than with Leos Carax (
Annette
); as (b) your family. "I am aware that only from a stable family life can I allow myself to risk later in roles that are very different from me.
That is what I am looking for: to be as different from myself as possible."
But, in addition, she is fortunate, she says, for the moment that she lives and we live. "It is clear that the historical subordination of women is a phenomenon that cannot be maintained.
The #metoo has released the word.
We are in an ongoing revolution that I am pleased to be part of. The more women take center stage, the sooner we will change the look. The woman has the obligation to question
the heteropatriarchal system
that we live in, "she said and said it slowly, calmly, almost silently. And, indeed, the contrast between forcefulness and tone, between the small body and the determination of a giant was surprising.
Marion says that she always doubts, that whenever she starts a new job, anxiety eats her up from the inside.
"I never know if I will measure up," he says.
Short
She is also convinced that a good part of her lack of accommodation to her firm and rebellious will is perhaps due to the whole of France.
"France is a country of cinema. It was created there and it is in its DNA ...
Cinema makes it possible to question life and the world
and, indeed, that is what has to be done and for which I dedicate myself to what I do. I dedicate: to questioning everything. Cinema broadens the view of the world, "he said with the same leisurely clarity with which he interprets, sings and produces the films of others.
A privileged happy and conscious of the privilege.
Beautiful and fair Donostia Award.
