FILM MAGAZINE: It is curious to see men play subsidiary roles in Céline and Julie Go Boating. Does this have anything to do with what you term “individual expression?”
JULIET BERTO: I couldn’t really answer that. It is hard though to find actors who bring original ideas to film. They somehow aren’t interested in innovative research and challenge. Secure in their social position, they refrain from taking too many risks. Women have nothing to lose and it is from our socially deprived position that we emerge as powerful individuals in the film. It is a unique situation and one that is reflected by the fact that men are inevitably weaker in their profession as actors. Male actors posses an ambivalence, since acting for them implies the exposure of a narcissistic and feminine side of their personalities.
