Marion Cotillard: ‘Losing interest in climate change is totally crazy’
The French actress traveled to Biarritz Film Festival in collaboration with Chanel to support emerging talent, saying, ‘The way that we look at young people, it says a lot about humanity’
Marion Cotillard, a 50-year-old Parisian, reflects on her first visit to the coastal town of Biarritz when she was in her twenties with a boyfriend. Six months later, as a heatwave swept across France in June, the actress returned to present an award to Isabelle Huppert at the fourth edition of the Biarritz Film Festival-Nouvelles Vagues, sponsored by Chanel, a brand she has been an ambassador for since 2020.
The festival focuses on nurturing emerging voices, with festival president Jérôme Pulis-Etchevers hoping to give these creators "the space, visibility, and confidence they need to take off." Having won an Oscar at the age of 32 for La Vie en Rose, Cotillard understands the importance of such support. Growing up in a bohemian family with parents deeply immersed in visual arts, Cotillard has succeeded in Hollywood, but she once contemplated leaving acting due to concerns about being typecast into uninteresting roles.
