Actress turned first-time filmmaker Anaïs Volpé was on tenterhooks when she visited the Deadline studio midway through the premiere of her Directors’ Fortnight entry. Starring Souheila Yacoub and Déborah Lukumuena, it tells the two young Parisian actresses who enjoy a close bond and a friendly rivalry, until life gets in the way. The story, Volpé said, was a subject close to her own heart and drawn from her own memory.
After an extensive search, she found Yacoub and Lukumuena. The two actresses didn’t know each other, even though they’d attended the same drama school, but quickly found the chemistry Volpé was looking for. “At first we went for coffee together,” said Yacoub, “then we started to get to know each other, and then we had rehearsals for two weeks. We both see acting the same way—we work a lot—and I think we connected in the acting. When we act together, it’s like an explosion.
Lukumuena agreed with Yacoub’s assessment. “We didn’t want to disappoint Anaïs,” she said. “We knew all the strength, and all the love, and the pain she’d put into the story. We realized that really, really soon and we did it—I think!”and keep your inbox happy.
