Rencontre avec Adèle Haenel, à l'affiche de trois films à Cannes
by Manon Garrigues - Vogue.Fr, May 26, 2019
Her immersive filming in Bosnia-Herzegovina, her first steps in Cannes, her stint on the stage... Vogue met with Adèle Haenel, one of the most talented French actresses of her generation, who came to present 3 films at the Cannes Film Festival.
Adèle Haenel was at Cannes to present three films, a wealth of experiences that she likes to multiply, always with that instinct that never fails her: Quentin Dupieux's Le Daim (at the opening of the Directors' Fortnight), Céline Sciamma's Portrait de la jeune fille en feu (in competition) and Aude-Léa Rapin‘s Les Héros ne meurent jamais (presented at Critics' Week), a dreamlike film that follows the journey of two friends in war-torn Bosnia-Herzegovina. In this genre-bending road trip (one hesitates whether to call it drama or documentary), Adèle is Alice, a reporter who decides to go in search of the past of her friend Joachim, who believes she is the reincarnation of a young Serbian soldier, killed the day he was born. Adèle Haenel, whom we met the day after the screening of the film, revisits this disturbing ghost hunt that has been received with critical acclaim.
What drew you to this movie?
I already knew Aude-Léa Rapin on a friendly level, we have the same circle of friends. I was struck by the script which I found exhilarating in the way that fiction and reality interacted. I thought that trying to understand these different levels of unmasking was quite playful.
Was there a particularly powerful moment on the set?
There were a lot of them. We filmed in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a country heavily marked by war and the siege of Sarajevo in the early 90s. We attended the commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide (Editor’s note: 8,000 Bosnian men and adolescents were murdered in the Srebrenica region in July 1995), that was an especially powerful moment.
You learned Serbo-Croatian...
Yes, and not just for the lines, but to be able to improvise on set. I spoke with the crew in Bosnian on the spot, I made a lot of progress thanks to them. Admittedly, I learned the language on a superficial level, but it really amused me.
How does Aude-Léa direct her actors?
She says «Action!» (laughs). She gave us a lot of freedom. Since there’s a documentary dynamic in the film, she let us interact with each other, we each followed our own line. In the end, we acted on intuition.
How do you choose your roles?
I operate on a whim, if I'm struck by the script, I go for it.
You’re presenting 3 films at Cannes this year. What’s your best memory here?
The screening of Thomas Cailley‘s Les Combattants in the Directors' Fortnight in 2014 (Editor's note: Adèle was awarded the Cesar for Best Actress). It was very powerful.
What was the first movie you saw in a theatre?
I think it was The Lion King or Le Hérisson dans le brouillard.
If you were to play a personality in a biopic, it would be...
Winston Churchill, why not!
Your first movie crush?
Gegen die wand by Fatih Akın.
The best movie soundtrack?
Hair.
The best movie advice you've ever been given?
Don't get too excited! It's from my father.
The craziest thing about being an actress?
What's happening right now in Cannes.
Your projects?
I’ll be in the theatre in November in a play directed by Gisèle Vienne.
Les Héros ne meurent jamais, by Aude-Léa Rapin, with Adèle Haenel, Jonathan Couzinié, Antonia Buresi, in theatres soon.

Asking permission would be nice in an ideal world, but I’m a realist - I know far too well how easy it is to appropriate stuff on Tumblr. I would be the first to admit that my translations are not perfect - there are some words and phrases that simply do not drop neatly into an equivalent in English, and I constantly fix typos and make changes or corrections in older posts - but they do take a lot of work and time. Thanks for understanding. - C.]
