Nosy questions : Camille Cottin answers

Your best memory from Cannes?
Camille Cottin – When we introduced Stillwater (2021). I remember Matt Damon’s emotion, as well as the way in which Marion Cotillard took me under her wing, because she was more experienced than I was.
What, in the room, will scare you most on the night of your opening speech?
Myself.
Could you name one master or mistress of ceremonies that left a distinct

If you could bring anyone on the red carpet? Anyone.
Billy Wilder.
One advice to survive Cannes?
Bring a pair of flats in your purse.
Your Palme d’or, amongst all the films in your life?
The Piano, by Jane Campion.

Leaving the beach to get to another party.
The film you are expecting the most this year?
Marcello Mio by Christophe Honoré and Furiosa by George Miller.
The best thing you can say when you didn’t like a friend’s film?
I think there is a time to hear and receive everything, so I try to adapt to what this
friend expects of me at such a time and to what they’re ready (or not) to hear.
Opening or closing night?
Opening.
The film you regret watching?
I don’t necessarily regret watching it, but the scene in Novecento by Bertolucci
where the skull of a young boy gets smashed has haunted me for quite a while.
