Opening night at The Paris Theatre for Rendez-Vous with French Cinema in New York Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze
Katell Quillévéré's potent Suzanne, screening in the 19th edition of Rendez-Vous with French Cinema in New York, stars Sara Forestier, Adèle Haenel, François Damiens, and Paul Hamy. The afternoon after the opening night screening of On My Way at The Paris Theatre, I spoke with Katell at the Empire Hotel, near Lincoln Center on her choice of a Nina Simone recording of a Leonard Cohen song, casting with chemistry, writing the script, and how she put it all together.
Quillévéré introduces her protagonist Suzanne as a child, getting ready for a school performance. Her truck driver father (Damiens) and older sister (the younger Maria played by Fanie Zanini) are in the audience, the mother is dead. The grave and the father's truck become the rest stops where the family gathers after their singular adventures in the world.
