Welcome to Magnifique Marion Cotillard - your English online resource for everything about the Oscar winning French actress. She's best known for her award winning performance in La Vie en Rose - but you might also recognize her from movies such as Love Me If You Dare, Big Fish or A Very Long Engagement. Following her Oscar win she starred in Public Enemies, Nine, Inception and the French Little White Lies. In 2011 she became a mother and was seen in Midnight in Paris and Contagion on the big screen while she filmed scenes for The Dark Knight Rises and for Jacques Audiard's Rust & Bone. In 2012 she will play a Polish immigrant in the period drama Low Life. Not stopping at movies, Marion Cotillard is also exploring her musical talents as a member of the French rock band Yodelice. All the while, she is never too busy to lend her time and name to causes she believes in! Enjoy your visit keep checking back for all the latest news!
I finally had the time to go to the place where they’re selling international magazines and was thus able to buy a copy of the July/August issue of the French Psychologies. View the scans. The pictures are not new but the interview is. Not only is it the first interview after the Oscars it is also so much more than your average celebrity interview. And I’m sure after reading it you’ll be motivated to improve your knowledge yourself. Many thanks to Mariana (first part as published online) and Anthony (full interview as published in the magazine) for providing Magnifique Marion Cotillard with an English translation. I myself have thrown in a bit of work to try and make the translation sound “English”. If anyone else has propositions how some sentences could be better translated please let us know in the comments section!
I went back to Paris for a few days, and I noticed how nice people were with me. Many told me that I boosted their morale. If I can share this energy, that fulfills me. Energy is life. It’s pleasant to experience notoriety. All one needs is to manage to leave it at its right place.
I can’t be someone that I’m not, I can’t lie. I was treated like an idiot, but I prefer looking like an idiot than a liar. I’m just someone who tries to be open-minded, to find out about things and to understand.
It’s easier to let yourself down, but so much more enriching to learn. When we bother to make that effort, passion always comes and everything lightens up, everything is getting easier. We even can become addicted. Being addicted to knowledge is good … read all
Ms. Cotillard…I am a 55 year old American Woman and have to say that I have never in my life seen acting as spectacular as you are in La Vie En Rose! Viva la Marion! I am moved by your magnificent talent.

Ms. Cotillard, As a writer and SAG actress myself, I enjoy your Blog, but please DO elaborate for us on your thoughts/feelings about the impending elections here in the States…Are you a Senator Barack Obama supporter? I surely hope so!
Peace.

Comment by Maria on Aug. 1, 2008
It appears to be so. We haven’t yet seen other new pictures to see what her new haircut looks like when it’s not styled for filming, though.

Thank you Maria!;) I thinks she look really good in short hairs, but honestly-in long hairs she looked fantastic
Comment by Angie on Aug. 7, 2008
Wonderful interview. She’s such a remarkable person, inside and out, and despite that she’s so modest and humble! I liked how she never retracted her 9/11 statement. She’s right — it would have been easier to just say she was sorry, she didn’t mean it, blah. It does take courage to stand by your convictions.
I have a request. Can I post a snippet of this interview on my own blog? I will credit and link of course
