Many thanks Miss Grain from Zhang Ziyi Infos for the scans of last week’s issue of Femina. It’s mostly an interview by François Cluzet with Guillaume Canet. But there’s a gorgeous new photo of the cast as well as some lovely on set pictures. Read the interview on Femina.fr.

Marion Cotillard is featured on the cover of this week’s Styles – sold together with L’Express Magazine. While the cover is an old picture (BlackBook June/July 2009) the inside picture is new and looks like yet another Chopard Photoshoot. The interview is brand-new and interesting (thanks Nadine for the transcript). She talks about how Guillaume Canet is a very talented director. He always finds the right words to voice what he wants from his actors. Also about the personal issues of Marie, her character in Les petits mouchoirs as well as about her search for simplicity in her personal life. She doesn’t want to play a character in her everyday life anymore and is surprised when she looks at pictures of her from 10 years ago when she was wearing much more make-up etc. She also mentions the project by director David Cronenberg [Cosmopolis]: nothing’s signed but she keeps dreaming of starring in the movie.

I’m back from my internet-free holiday and slowly starting to catch up on everything that Marion has been up to. First up, gorgeous new pictures of Marion Cotillard on the cover of the new Glamour magazine in France. The photoshoot is fresh, young and fun. The article tries to figure out the real Marion and whether her character in ‘Les petits mouchoirs‘ (Little White Lies) is anything like her real self. A difficult enterprise as Marion as usual talks more about cinema than about herself – also we know that she brings authenticity to all characters she plays. Thanks Kelly for the pictures – stay tuned for quality scans whenever I pick up the actual magazine.

There is currently an overload of pictures etc from Marion’s appearances at the Toronto Film Festival. Stay tuned for more updates! In the meantime, Marion Cotillard was featured in the Evening Standard Magazine on the weekend with the stunning photoshoot realized for Chopard’s 150th anniversary in which she’s wearing pieces from their Animal World collection, developed in association with the WWF.

Anything we can do in favour of the defence of life and the environment is always precious.

For the most part the article is using quotes from the recent feature in the ‘Interview‘ magazine but it still makes for an interesting read. Thank you Natalie for the scans!

Note: In the final print Marion Cotillard wasn’t featured on the cover of ES Magazine, though there was a preview of a version with Marion.

I still can’t quite believe I managed to see ‘Les petits mouchoirs the other night. I’ve since had a day to think about it and here are my thoughts. I’m not going to spill any more plot details than the official synopsis revealed as I feel watching ‘Les petits mouchoirs‘ is a real experience, in the end you’ll feel as if you are a part of the gang yourself and as if you went through everything yourself. This because the movie has a perfect flow and all of the performances feel real, there’s no false note. Even though I didn’t understand everything I laughed a lot, sometimes just because of how comical the situations were but mostly because of the hilarious dialogue. Make no mistake though, it’s a rollercoaster for your emotions!

Marion as independent Marie is fabulous, she got to play the most interesting and engaging female character in the movie. While all characters are well developed the movie does focus more about the friendship between the men. Additionally to Marion, also Gilles Lellouche, François Cluzet and Benoît Magimel are definite standouts in my opinion. Do look out for interesting cameo appearances by Matthieu Chedid (aka M), Maxim Nucci (aka Yodélice), Jean-Claude Cotillard and Niseema Theillaud. But most of all, if you get a chance to watch ‘Les petits mouchoirs‘ (Little White Lies) do not hesitate to buy a ticket! It’s easily made my personal list of my 5 most favourite Marion movies & performances!

Guillaume Canet released the 4th Making of Video on Facebook which sheds more light on 4 characters including Marie:

I was very very touched by Marie’s character. There was a sense of understanding and I had already the wish to work on a character that could be similar to me even if not entirely like me.

In time for the world premiere on Saturday, the final poster for ‘Les petits mouchoirs‘ was released, credit to Jean-Claude Lother, Les Productions Du Tresor, EuropaCorp, Caneo Films and M6 Films. Isn’t it perfect?!

I also scanned the ‘Les petits mouchoirs‘ article in last October’s Studio Ciné Live – the on set pictures from which are no longer new – as well as this month’s Premiere which focuses mainly on Guillaume Canet, but he talks about working with Marion in the interview and there are new pictures of her taken during filming. Enjoy!

Thanks to Flor we have scans of Marion’s cover & interview from Spanish magazine Yo, Dona. The lovely photo shoot was actually realized for Chopard’s 150th anniversary. It’s an original interview, and here’s Flor’s summary for those of us who don’t speak Spanish:

It’s a very cute interview, actually. We learn that Marion studied Spanish for 5 years and that she was one of the best of her class but then she forgot it (while filming Nine, she tried to talk to Penelope Cruz in Spanish but she couldn’t join the sentences). She hopes she can study it again sometime. They ask her about Guillaume (as always) and she dodges the question very gracefully (as always). And then it’s more about the stuff we know: filming with Leo, La Vie en Rose changed her life, Dior, etc.

P.S. Some people mentioned that the pictures in the gallery seem to be of a smaller size than before. This is NOT the case. The new version of the gallery script resizes full-sized pictures to your screen resolution. If you right click on the photo and view properties, you will see that it says something like: 1,365px × 1,800px (scaled to 506px × 668px). This is done to allow a person with a slower connection or smaller monitor to see the full image instead of having to scroll. If the image is saved, it will save in its full original size.

Earlier this week I added HQ scans of the August Interview issue – including the full interview. I also added scans sent in by Kelly and Mariana. Many thanks for these!

Marion Cotillard is on the cover of French Elle this week. The pictures definitely have a retro as well as summer feeling to it, and of course Marion looks divine! It’s just a pity that they included ‘only’ 3 pictures.
