The French actress known for her ‘Blue Is the Warmest Color’ breakout discusses her latest Sundance hit, and why she’s not too keen on period pieces.
with the release of a single still from the film showing Adèle Exarchopoulos and Franz Rogowski dancing at a club, sharing a moment of joyful serenity. In Ira Sachs’s acclaimed new film, Exarchopoulos plays Agathe, a French schoolteacher who falls for a magnetic German-born filmmaker, Tomas , who in turn drifts away from his husband, Martin .
This interview took place before the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike began; Exarchopoulos is not a member of SAG.I knew Ira’s work, and I love that he talks about simple stuff that can happen to you and overwhelm your world. And that the film’s subject is not about identity, it’s just about love. I loved the fact that the character is really different from me.
I love movies and characters that help you to just ask questions. I don’t think the character has the answers, but it helps to consider what you should accept and what you have to go through when you fall in love with someone. These kinds of boundaries are hard to find. I also love Agathe’s brave side. I already knew Franz and Ben were on the project, and I really love them.
I could feel her maturity when she’s leaving her first boyfriend, telling him, “Everything is too perfect, it’s good in many ways but... I can’t.” I can feel her freedom in how she dresses, in her nights in Paris, how she goes out. I remember I was struck by the fact that the first time Tomas tells her, “My husband doesn’t want to dance with me,” she says, “I will dance with you.” I think that’s a statement of someone having no fear and looking for feelings and experience.
A good talk beforehand, being really clear about your boundaries, what you want to show and what you don’t want to show. And being honest about what you want to be saying doing this sex scene, because sex is like a conversation. We spoke a lot before with Ira and with Franz. I told Ira, I don’t want to get bored doing nudity scenes, and now that I’m a mother, I don’t know if I want to show my body in this movie. It’s even more exciting to reinvent [a sex scene] in a different way.
