Lily-Rose Depp: "film is a privilege, you have to be up to par"

She could have just fallen from a Botticelli painting.A blond, graceful and diaphanous, ethereal youth;But that is without counting his gaze, two black and sparkling streams, sources so deep that we feel the desire to question his future as in the best coffee.Lily-Rose Depp is barely 20 years old, but when we talk to her, his strength gives him more maturity.She jumped into the very small broth, that of the show and the costumes, she kept the taste of the lights, the mirror and a penchant for the princesses.In her pantheon, queens, there are: Catherine Deneuve, Sharon Stone, Penélope Cruz or Patricia Arquette in Romance.Powerful and determined women.But little one, it was Dorothy, Dumagicien d'Oz, that she was burning to be.This film, she watched it again and again.Like donkey.That life has several dimensions, that one can pass on the other side thanks to a cyclone or the skin of an animal and become friend with scarecrows, it made it dream.The dream is a word that often comes up in Lily-Rose's mouth.Because it is with a lot of humility that she tells her short life: it was a dream that Karl Lagerfeld asked her to put on an arpent of the Chanel myth, a dream that he makes her scroll through a wedding dress.She would never have imagined her."He gave me a chance, it was he who made me known.»She was 15 years old."Getting into the Chanel family", this is how Lily-Rose describes her links with the house."Karl is missing", but Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, the new artistic director of the house, are inseparable: "They were so close, she was in him, and today he is in her.»»

Muse but actress above all

It’s still a dream of becoming the face of n ° 5 water. Ah, le N° 5 ! Combien sommes-nous à se sentir rassurées et portées quand ses notes flottent autour de nous ? « C’est le parfum de ma mère»»,me dit-elle ; je lui réponds du tac au tac que c’est aussi celui de la mienne.And we laugh. Quand elle a tourné la publicité avec Jean-Paul Goude, elle avait l’impression de se glisser, toute légère, dans une longue histoire : « Je suis un petit ornement sur un grand parfum, comme ma mère était un petit oiseau dans une cage»».But we know that Coco Chanel opened the doors of the cages so that women breathe without losing anything from their elegance and their subversion. Et ce qui fait respirer Lily-Rose, c’est le cinéma, « Le meilleur moment, c’est entre« Action»»et»Coupez !»»»»

Child of the ball, she has dried up the theater lesson, she is well aware of it.So she works to catch up, know everything about techniques, know her body, let herself be guided by a director, but also to be engine, offer, take over the stage fright.With already six films on the clock, she knows that each of the characters she played has strengthened her palette."Rebecca Zlotowski planetarium was my first dramatic film.My last appearance in the film was actually the first scene I had to shoot.It is a violent passage where I am in crisis, I break the objects, balance a cage in Oiseaux.»» Tout cela face à Natalie Portman, que Lily-Rose admire tant."I will always remember the way Rebecca told me, supported me, and how she brought me where I had to go.She believed in me.»» Toujours les cages dorées dont il faut trouver sa propre clé.And indeed, it is difficult not to believe in Lily-Rose when we are facing her. Avec un prénom magique qu’on entendrait s’égrener sur la Reming ton portative d’une chanson de Gainsbourg, elle n’est que charme incandescent, « Rosebud»» caché de Citizen Kane, diamant brut qui s’ignore, incendie encore enfant.We guess in silence that she knows very well that she will have to prove her proofs, and in the Strong Coffee of her eyes, we can tell her that she is already a first name.Because any creator would aspire to hatch the sweet violence of this cheerful character and soaked in steel.Rebecca Zlotowski tells us that she knew that Lily-Rose took off in the cinema, and that it was the last time that she could play a child.The director captured a world getting engulfed.She wanted to help this young actress, already scrutinized in the media, to draw her spine, to go and draw deep down while protecting herself.

Lily-Rose Depp : « La pellicule est un privilège, il faut être à la hauteur »

Perfectionist

From Lily-Rose is preparing for many for films, and appreciates this dive into the repetitions and the appropriation of the character to which she lends her flesh.Whether it's historical figures-Lily-Rose Depp interpreted Isadora Duncan as well as Catherine de Valois-but also fictional beings.For the faithful man Louis Garrel, she was to be Eve, a rebellious and determined girl, ready to declare war for the man she decided to love."It was a challenge, we had to shoot in four weeks, on film!We can't plant ourselves.On the set, you have to find and not look.Film is a privilege, you have to be up.There is something Eve who stayed in me after.His ability to impose his desires.It’s always a weird feeling when you finish a movie.We have always explored further for months, it can be hard to let go.We hung on to our character, to keep him as close to us as possible.»» C’est le réalisateur Nicholas Jarecki, avec qui elle a tournéDreamland(dont la sortie est prévue en 2020, ndlr) qui lui a donné ce conseil : « Même quand tu ne parles pas, que tu écoutes ton interlocuteur, que tu te reposes, tu restes ton personnage.Think of what he would think.»» Toujours l’impératif de se glisser dans une autre peau.Besides, LOVE, one of his favorite songs, is taken from the Filmond The Skin.Lily-Rose dresses to her grigris, a Coco Crush ring that never leaves her and pebbles in her pockets that give her energy.When the film is completed, some actors cannot watch each other on screen.

Lily-Rose needs to see herself at least twice.A first to judge and track down what she wants to improve, and a second to take advantage of this collective work, find the characters she has rubbed shoulders, like ghostly but safe friends.Lily-Rose likes princesses and confides to love Christmas."It's still magic for me, snow, big guards and hot chocolate.»» Parce que c’est une histoire d’odeurs : le feu de la cheminée, la dinde et les marshmallows, et surtout le parfum des siens."Christmas is a time suspended, with my family.»» Avec son frère, ils ont pris l’habitude de confectionner une étoile en carton pour le haut du sapin, car chaque clan a ses coutumes qui remontent à l’enfance.And everyone is reassured to find their rituals intact.

Maternal figure

We avoid questions about her too famous parents, but as for many young girls, her mother often returns to her speech.A unique reference, a taste of paradise.She tells me that she is wearing her shirt.She likes to prick her clothes, to have her near her, she also tells me that, little one, she did not watch her parents' films, obviously.But that today, yes, and that it can appreciate with an adult look the immense actors that they are.It is said at low, with modesty, admiration and with the love that we have all for those who have made us, and which we stand out to lead our own life. Parce que Lily-Rose a dans ses mains « Mille et une symphonies/Qu’elle inventera en un rien»»,comme le chante pour elle la voix maternelle.We remember that the little Frenchwoman is also American, by the grace of delicious coquetries. Elle dit : « C’est « une»» honneur.»» Un mot qui revient aussi comme un refrain quand elle se raconte.We want nobody to come to correct it, to mix the feminine with this honor that she summons to talk about the big meetings of her life, from Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard to Rebecca Zlotowski and Louis Garrel, because she does notNot enough verve, Lily-Rose Depp, to thank the fairies leaning over her cradle.Tweed fairies, well dressed and full of imagination.Our Rosebud, who loves nostalgic songs and "scenes where we feel vulnerable.That is to say those who are difficult and who paradoxically teach us to be who we really are, once the camera has stopped.»»
