I have followed the career of French actress Naomi Merland ever since I saw her in Celine Sciamma’s weird romantic film. Portrait of a woman on fire At the Cannes Film Festival in 2019. After playing Marianne in Skiama’s film, Merland has worked tirelessly as an actor, showing films including:
- Jumbo Directed by Zoe Whitock, premiered at Sundance in 2020.
- good man By a frequent employee, managed by Marie-Castile Memento-Shari.
- one year one night Directed by Isaac Lacouesta, premiered at the Berlinale this year.
And the Todd Field movie Tari Where she plays two-time Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett. The actor told The Guardian that working with Blanchett was a dream and an inspiration. “Cate Blanchett has always been the primary reference for me. I love to review your favorite scenes, sometimes before shooting a scene, don’t copy it, just because she gives me energy.
During the making of all these films, he also made two films, with short titles. Shakira And he starred, wrote and directed his first film. Mia Lubita, Mon Amour Premiered at Cannes in 2021. She is working on a thriller script focusing on women.And a documentary about his family.
Merland’s Last Film, (opening Friday in New York cinemas) in the 13th arrondissement of Paris (Les Olympiades) by Jacques Audiard (Prophet, A beat that my heart would miss) And co-written by none other than Celine Siam. The film tells the story of three young women, Nora (Merland), Emily (Lucy Zhang) and Camille (Makita Samba), who fall in love and get lost in present-day Paris.
He’s in high demand now, so it was great to talk to the actor about how he’s been organizing himself since 2019 during his ongoing work and all the projects he has.
