“I feel very French, but I speak Italian and English, so I feel very European. But I don’t feel close to English people, for example. It’s not that far away geographically, but I don’t feel close to English people because it’s such a different sensibility, such different characters. We are so different. I feel closer to Spanish or Italian people than to English people. Because of the nature of the Latin character compared to an Anglo-Saxon character. We have different educations… we are very different.”— Catherine Deneuve to The Talks Magazine, answering the question of whether she considers herself first and foremost a French actress or a European actress.

Suspiria

Zig-Zig (1975) the French comedy that got no salvageable reviews and was dubbed chaotic with Catherine Deneuve and Bernadette Lafont as prostitutes, who also sing and dance in a Pigalle nightclub number.

“It is an unusual, poetic film, which is somewhat incomplete. But it is one of those films whose failure is more interesting than some successes. It was a failure. And the audience totally rejected me in this role. I do not regret having done it.” —Catherine Deneuve who also co-produced the film

“It seems to me that it works quite well, but it’s certainly a bit heavy being my daughter. I will always be there if there really are problems, because parents are always there. With Chiara, we talk a lot about cinema together. It’s fun because people imagine that there is a latent rivalry between us, while my daughter and I are in such a strong and fused relationship. Too much maybe... during the night of the Cesar awards, she called me three times from Los Angeles. No, we are not at all in a competitive relationship and, if it exists, it is at a level of unconsciousness that it is impossible for me to formulate. I really am the mother of my daughter, that’s all.”

Ha muerto su madre, 109 años.

Me he enterado que Chiara va a venir a dar una conferencia a mi ciudad, me gustaría poder asistir, a ver si tengo suerte, la entrada no es cara, y si hay vía libre para hacer preguntas puedo hacer alguna, aunque mi francés está un poco oxidado, de modo que a ver si acepta inglés como animal de compañía. Me encantaría preguntarle sobre los papeles que más le gustan de sus padres, ya que la Deneuve es tan hermética . De todos modos, aún no puedo confirmar.

The Last Metro 1980.

Nunca le perdonaré que decidiera teñirse de rubio, al igual que Virna Lisi. Aunque la italiana, lo hizo para idolatrar a su ídola.

A mí me parecía muy mona de castaña, tenía una carita más dulce, como su hermana.

Pensaba que Virna era rubia natural, en las pelis de adolescente ya se le ve así... ¿Se tiñó para imitar a Marilyn?
