Rebecca Marder and Judith Chemla play two singers from different generations in Michel Leclerc's new film, Les Goûts et les couleurs.
For "20 Minutes", the two actresses evoke their complicity in the film, but also outside, because both have a practice of singing outside the screens.
They are accomplices and claim it very loudly.
Before
Les Goûts et les couleurs
, Rebecca Marder and Judith Chemla already knew each other from having filmed
Noémie Lvovsky's
The Great Magic .
They were already singing "both, like their characters", assures the first, they gave "concerts too", adds the second.
In Michel Leclerc's new film, an enchanted comedy and songs, which reviews the issues of recognition and celebrity in the age of buzz and social networks, the two actresses play two singers from different generations, one aging , the other much younger while the two actresses are only ten years apart.
Judith Chemla is Daredjane, ex-star of the 60s, 70s, 80s, while Rebecca Marder plays Marcia, a young girl who admires her, who herself has talent to spare, but doesn't really know how to sell it, precisely. …
“During the scene that opens the film, where we are at the heart of the creative process with the two recording, we were already in a form of complicity”, recognizes Rebecca Marder.
Her character as a young singer "both completely in her time and not really in tune with the times" is well aware "that you have to create a strong enough identity today to exist", but all the same "a little in the nostalgia of an era that she did not experience".
Nothing to do with her eldest whom she admires because she has always been "free in her choices" by changing her style according to her will throughout her career.
Gainsbourg, this unknown
Judith Chemla, however, has fun comparing the two eras, which are not so different.
“I remember an interview with Marie Laforêt who said that she admired a lot of wonderful people who weren't talked about because they weren't on the cover of magazines.
And who gave the example of a certain… Serge Gainsbourg!
Proof that in terms of recognition, all eras have had their difficulties.

If each had a single word to define their characters, it would be "Freedom" for the one played by Judith Chemla, while Rebecca Marder claims "authenticity" for hers.
What about humor then?
It would undoubtedly be claimed more by the male characters.
The rightful claimant embodied by Félix Moati, perfect as a redneck in love, or the DJ played by Artus with all the possible arrogance firmly anchored in his body.
