Sophie Marceau

In 1946, she starts telling her story.

So the documentary is shown kind of in flashbacks of Chanel's voice spoken by Sophie Marceau.

She's an actress.

She was in Bravehearts.

I think he's also incredible at casting and... has a knack in so many of his films for either casting established actors against type, which he does in a film like L'Impotent C'est Deme, or he's really good at discovering up-and-coming actors, and you've got two of them in this film.

Yeah, so you've got Sophie Marceau as Marie, and she was, I think, before this, like...

I don't know if she was a child actress, but she wanted to break free of her image of sort of squeaky clean image or something, didn't she?

Well, so she's in this... two part film the main film is la boom and then there's the sequel and that sort of established her as this kind of like 16 year old like pop idol and so she was like instantly very famous but in a super mainstream way right and so it's crazy to think of someone like I don't know, like Lindsay Lohan, when she finished the Parent Trap movies to go on and be in something like this.

Okay.

And look, most people who are listening to this who know of Jaworski, know him from Possession.

He had a habit of, well, all actors, because it's not just Sophie Marceau here, but obviously there's that scene from Possession that everyone talks about.

You've got that performance by Isabella Gianni.

These recruits hailed from Britain as well as other countries, including Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and especially France, where Section F undertook multiple missions that significantly aided the war effort, and many also resulted in the capture and execution of the agents.

In 2008, director Jean-Paul Salomé released Female Agents, a grim and brutal fictional depiction of SOE agents starring prominent French actors Sophie Marceau and Julie Depardieu, that places these agents as central to one of World War II's most renowned events.

Welcome back to The Spy with the Blood-Tinted Glasses.

My name is Vincent M Gaine, but call me V.

The film was released in 2008.

It's directed by Jean-Paul Salomé, screenplay by Salomé and Laurent Bochard.

It stars Sophie Marceau, Julie Depardieu, Marie Guéhenno, Déborah François, Maurice Bénichou.

Apologies for my French pronunciation.

choses et je pense que, comme tu l'as dit aussi, même en début de cette vidéo, quand ta mère te disait qu'il faut porter des trucs comme ça, c'est que même elle a été endoctrinée très jeune par des paroles tout de suite où on faisait faire des régimes à des nanas.

Moi, je me souviens que j'avais été choquée de fou par la mère d'une pote à l'époque qui nous avait montré La Boum, Sophie Marceau jeune, que je trouve trop mignonne à croquer dans ce film.

Et elle dit, ah ouais, c'est vrai qu'elle avait quand même un sacré cul.

Mais genre, un peu en mode, elle était un peu en bonne forme, quoi.

But for now, we're just gonna talk, first of all, about Renard.

Now, we've talked about the character and Robert Carlyle obviously being cast, but in all the promotional material, Sophie Marceau is the Bond girl.

Renard is that archetypal looks like a villain kind of guy.

In the trailers, we have the, the holograms, John, which you know all about-

Yeah

... like, there's just this European glamorous beautiful woman, but there is this mysterious element to her.

And Sophie Marceau does it so, so brilliantly because it might be that if it wa- wasn't done as well, when the big reveal happens and everything, you're like, "Oh, I'm not sure I buy that," or-

Yeah

It's a little bit, it's sort of SNL.

Like, it's a little bit more of a, a David Spade comedy, but it's, it's basically just a straight romantic comedy, uh, with, uh, Sophie Marceau, who is delightful in it, and I liked it a lot growing up, and I, I re-watched it this week too just for the, the fun of it, and it, it holds up all right.

Oh, I don't think I've ever seen it.

Artie Lange is in it as well, um, and he's pretty funny in it.

Lost and Found.

Nice.

David Spade is like a sort of-- He owns a restaurant and he's kind of a popular guy in the neighborhood, but this Sophie Marceau moves in next door, and he basically kidnaps her dog to have a excuse to talk to her.

Oh.

There's a movie with David Spade.

Yeah, Sophie Marceau.

He takes her to the Hollywood Bowl.

What's that called? Lost

the common

thing.

Sophie Marceau, you got to learn a little

to learn.

Patrick McGoohan, a veteran actor who I think has, has died since then, but he was, he was, um, a really, really good actor.

Um, alongside, um, Mel Gibson, who played William Wallace, and Sophie Marceau.

Mm-hmm.

The beautiful Sophie Marceau, who played the prin-- the French princess.

Let's practice with how long it takes, and then we're gonna m-- Danny has a piece of music for us, which is from a n-not very well-known Irish musician who died many years ago, a guy called Mick Christopher.

This was featured in, um, the Guinness company.
