Isabelle Adjani, known for her past relationships with Bruno Nuytten and Daniel Day Lewis, is now emphasizing her independence and self-confidence. The actress confesses to overcoming doubts about her appearance and declining roles in rebellion against the use of her image at a certain point in her career. Recently, she raised sensitive topics, which we’ll explore in detail in this article.
Starring in a new Netflix film
Isabelle Adjani makes her appearance on Netflix! On November 1st, the actress will appear in an action film titled “Voleuses,” directed by Mélanie Laurent, where she shares the screen with Adèle Exarchopoulos, Philippe Katerine, and Félix Moati. In an interview with “Madame Figaro” for this new project, 68-year-old Isabelle Adjani expressed her perception of women and her role as a mother outside the film sets. “I really don’t know what a normal woman is,” she said.
Her life as a mother
When discussing her role as a mother, she talked about the challenges of balancing her acting career with motherhood when her two sons were young. She reflected and said, “An actress or not, a working woman must be accountable for the time she takes from the mother and, therefore, from the child: too absent, too present… It’s always too much or not enough. These are questions rarely asked of fathers,” highlighting the pressures on mothers.
“It’s me, but at the same time, it’s not me”
Isabelle Adjani, known for the hit “Pull Marine” forty years ago, has collaborated with Pascal Obispo for a new album titled “Bande originale,” set to be released on November 10. In this second duo album, the actress and singer emotionally shares her vision of love. In the song “Samouraï,” a collaboration with Étienne Daho, Isabelle Adjani expresses that “Love is an art, not a battle.” In a recent interview published in “Elle,” she was asked about her agreement with this statement, revealing the story behind the song. ”
This song is an oratorical joust between imaginary lovers who find common ground on the chorus. It’s a bit like a couple’s life! We score points, we lose them,” she explained. She further clarified, “This album is me, but at the same time, it’s not me.”
“I’m too old for that”
Indeed, romantic relationships are no longer a priority for Isabelle Adjani, who has had less than rosy moments in this area. She sincerely declared, “Passion is no longer part of my life; I’m too old for that.” However, as the mother of Barnabé and Gabriel Kane, she experiences another form of passion. This “total love,” present throughout her album, Isabelle Adjani feels while acting “on stage, or on the set of a film, in a scene where your feelings merge.” At 68 years old, Isabelle Adjani finds herself in a state of complete fulfillment. She prioritizes her personal well-being and focuses on herself and her family, where love stories have taken a back seat.
