Sophie Marceau: "I like to grow old, as a child I always imagined myself old"

Sophie Marceau (Paris, 1966)

has always been there. Since she made her debut as an actress when she was just 14 years old in La fiesta until today, she has been an undisputed star (perhaps the star) of French cinema. And yet, away from her the temptation of excess work, constant exposure, spotlights and red carpets. It had been years since he committed himself to a film as he does now with

which premieres today. The prolific François Ozon places the former Bond girl in

and long before that the mysterious Ferris Wheel in Maurice Pialat's

at the precipice of death itself. The film is based on the book by

in which the author recounts the moral, legal and even logistical labyrinth that his father's assisted suicide entailed.

That is why I think that with death we should maintain the attitude we had as children.

Children, in fact, think a lot about death because they don't understand it.

And it really is something incomprehensible.

Shall I tell you an anecdote about my children? Of course. On one occasion, one of my children heard us adults talk about how we would like to be buried.

I mentioned that I would like to be cremated.

After a few days, he asked me how I imagined the end of the world.

I answered him and he remained intrigued.

He wanted to know if she preferred to die frozen or burned by a great fire.

It was less aggressive for me to say that he preferred ice.

Then, he showed his stupor: «So, why so much effort to be cremated?».

I guess that's the right attitude.

[laughs] To continue with the matter, what do you think of the debate that opens the film on euthanasia? Honestly,

I don't know if I'm in favor or not.

It bothers me to become nobody's oracle.

I'm just an actress.

I imagine that I will know the moment I find myself in a situation that forces me to decide.

In any case, I demand the right to decide and I do believe that the individual has to have jurisdiction over his own life.

Be that as it may, what I am clear about is that as a society we should prevent anyone from dying alone.

The thought of dying alone terrifies me.
