It has long been known that women are not made of flesh and blood. Catherine Deneuve is a woman.
The French press refers to Catherine Deneuve as "diverse", as "fire and ice", as "a cube of ice in a full glass of whiskey", as "Eiffel Tower", as "Greta Garbo by Greta Garbo ( 1905-1990)" and "the most beautiful woman in the world", "she is perfect to the extent that a film can succeed even without any plot" (François Truffaut).

Regis Wagnes Régis Wargnier already showed this in his "glorified colonization" siloem film Indochine (1992). His words were simple: "Catherine Deneuve is France." ”
Since the age of 17, Catherine Deneuve has been rash and rash. The child of the disciplined actor ran away from home to live with Roger Vadim (1928-2000), Brigitte Bardot's ex-husband and film director Roger Vadim.

Two years later, her son, Christian Vadim, was born, which many consider to be a "collision" with morality.
She was not married, and in the 1960s, when it was not yet open, people were still full of narrow-minded small family spirits.
In 1965, Catherine Deneuve's last relationship came to an abrupt end, and on August 18, she found another good partner and married British photographer David Bailey.

The two continued their marriage until 1972 and have been good friends ever since, but David Beret has since declared that "marriage is a trap." ”
On 28 May 1972 she gave birth to her daughter, Chiara Mastroianni, Ziara Mastroianni.
Ciara Mastruani's father was the famous Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni (1924-1996), who was a family man – which caused an uproar and made headlines.

It was before and after that an army of lovers was concocted for her — among them the "French Elvis" Claude François (1939-1978), singer Serge Gainsbourg (1928-1991), John Travolta of Hollywood, and even a national president.
Catherine Deneuve was born on October 22, 1943 in Paris, to a family of actors, so she was fascinated by her family as a teenager.

In 1957, at the age of 13, she played a role in the film Les collégiennes, a schoolgirl, which was her first appearance in a film, and thus began her film career of more than 60 years.
"I wasn't sure I wanted to be an actor at first, and although as a teenager I made cameo appearances in a few films with my sister Françoise Dorléac (1942-1967), it wasn't until I met Jacques Demy (1931-1990) at the age of 18 that he changed my life and career, and then everything was different."

The 18-year-old Catherine Deneuve succeeded as the heroine in the song and dance film "The Umbrella of Cherbourg/ Les parapluies de Cherbourg" (1964) directed by Jacques Demi, which established her as a star.
All the dialogue in the film simply becomes singing, Michel Legrand (1932-2019) composes all the music, Jacques Demi processes the colors of all the scenes, gorgeous and naughty, exaggerated but chic, the plot, music, and colors together express rich emotions, creating a colorful and infinitely beautiful world.

The heroine played by Catherine Deneuve is very moving and unforgettable. The film is undoubtedly an attempt to boldly experiment with the early forms of color to pursue.
The film is about a 16-year-old girl and a young mechanic falling in love, but in the real world, the status gap is so great that they have to break up the tragedy of love, and the sad atmosphere of the film makes Catherine Deneuve stand out, and the film won the Palme d'Or at the 17th Cannes Film Festival in 1964.
She then starred in the film Cold-Blooded Horror Revival (1965), a thriller directed by Roman Polanski that explored the psychological state of a schizophrenic, and Catherine Deneuve's performance was so well-placed that she contributed a thrilling and shocking performance that represented the complex spiritual world of the protagonist.
Roman Polanski's films are always filled with utter coldness and gloom, reflecting that the eerie spiritual world of the characters is a constant theme, and the exquisite interpretation of the young Catherine Deneuve shows great penetration.

The heroine played by Catherine Deneuve in the film has few lines, and during her time alone, the film presents a silence and silence, only the sound of the clock ticking.
The audience can only quietly watch her sad face and godless eyes, watching her wander aimlessly through the home, pacing the streets like walking dead.
Many times, the camera is only 18 centimeters away from her nose, and her beauty and performance are flawless. Her eyes were hollow and sluggish, as if she were out of the world.
The film was a great success, thanks to Catherine Deneuve's superb performance. The French actress showed a hair-chilling indifference and cruelty, sometimes looking away, like meditation, sometimes hysterical like a snowy mountain.
The film won the Silver Bear Award at the 15th Berlin International Film Festival in 1965 – the Grand Jury Prize.

In Luis Buñuel (1900-1983), Belle de jour (1967), the vermilion of the Day Beauty/Green House Wraith (1967), Kathleen Deneuve plays a seemingly dignified, but in fact lascivious and depraved dual life, which is very shocking.
Her husband, Pierre (Jean Sorrell Jean Sorel), a surgeon, is handsome and gentle and well-paid, but he is never able to satisfy his wife's carnal desires. Because of her identity, the wife has to enjoy herself by fantasizing about being abused and bullied.

Intolerably, she could only sell her body during her husband's visit (2 p.m. to 5 p.m.), so she was given the title of "Day beauty".
From the initial resistance to complete liberation, she was greatly satisfied and thrilled.
During this time, she meets marcel (Pierre Clémenti), a professional killer who is attracted to the beauty and mystery of daytime beauty, but also brings each other into the chaos of reality and illusion...
In the film, she is in a trance, cold and silent, but in the world of sexual fantasy, she chases the pleasure of destroying her soul.
And the most amazing thing is that after the screening of this film, Catherine Deneuve was not named "the most beautiful actress", but was called the "Ice Queen" - "Ice Beauty".
The film won the Golden Lion for Best Film at the 28th Venice Film Festival in 1967. It is a film adapted from a third-rate erotic novel, but under the clever tricks of Luis Buñuel, it successfully uses the intertwined situations of reality and fantasy to delve into the depression and loneliness of women.
Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1967) was catherine Deneuve's last film with her sister François Doriet, which tells the love story of a pair of sisters.

After the filming of this film, Catherine Deneuve's sister François Dorie died in a car accident, which was a big blow to Catherine Deneuve.
Director Jacques Demi's "Willow Flowers" is the most relaxed and happy work in his work, almost every shot of the whole film is filled with a carnival atmosphere, which can truly be called a classic that is pleasing to the eye and elegant and popular.
What sets this song and dance film apart is that a lot of outdoor real-life shooting, rather than Hollywood studio shooting, is a big test for lighting, cinematography, actors and scheduling.
Of course, the real scene also brings a lot of benefits, that is, to make people feel more real, the lighting, the actor's performance, are very natural, very stretched, not contrived.

François Dolle was the lover of director François Truffaut (1932-1984), and a few years later, Catherine Deneuve became François Truffaut's lover.
There is no doubt that François Truffaut and Catherine Deneuve have left a deep imprint on each other's lives. He brought her the affirmation of the first grand prize, and she was his rightful muse.

Catherine Deneuve's first collaboration with François Truffaut was la sirène du Mississipi (1969) in 1968, when François Truffaut had passed his prime.
The film features a heavy Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980) suspense routine, but the essence explores the elusive question of love.

Now it seems that there is nothing special about the film, and the only thing that seems to be remarkable is the performance of Catherine Deneuve.
François Truffaut then asked her to play a charming theater manager during the German occupation in The Last Metro, Le dernier métro (1980), and he asked another actor to say something like this: "She is indeed beautiful... But not really. There is something false in this woman. ”

Until the death of François Truffaut, the two maintained an indestructible friendship. More than once, Catherine Deneuve expressed her admiration for François Truffaut's talent, and François Truffaut did not hesitate to describe his muse in extreme words.
In the 21st century, Catherine Deneuve is still making films. In Dancer in the Dark (2000), she plays an unpretentious female worker who sings and dances.

In François Eurofrançois Ozon's 2001 cabaret light comedy "Eight Beauty Figures 8 Femmes" (2002), she co-starred with seven other top actresses in the French film industry.
In the face of the fact that she is old and the new actress is catching up, Catherine Deneuve has conquered generations of film audiences with her rich life experience and unique elegance...
Catherine Deneuve has worked with almost all the great european directors, including Louis Buñuel, Jean-Pierre Melville Jean-Pierre Melville (1917-1973), Romain Polanski, Jacques Demi, Claude Lelouch, André Teichner André Téchiné, Las von Tyre, François Euron, and many more.

Let's take a quick look at the fact that of the hundreds of films she has starred in, there are only three truly unforgettable films, and even in these three films, her extraordinary beauty has been ridiculed: in Cold Blood, Roman Polanski makes Catherine Deneuve, who has just turned 21, into a person with an innocent face but a heart of madness to kill men.
In "The Beauty of the Day", directed by Luis Buñuel, she plays a symbol of the bourgeoisie, and she goes to the brothel as a prostitute to let men ravage and hurt, but feels a kind of liberation satisfaction.

François Truffaut let her play a charming theater manager during the German occupation in The Last Metro (1980), and with this calm, gentle and independent female role, Catherine Deneuve once again became a French film icon and won her the first French César film trophy.
Catherine Deneuve said with emotion: "I learned to live from working with them, because I started acting so young, I had no experience at all, I learned to live through acting. ”
After more than 60 years of film experience, Catherine Deneuve also has some advice for young actresses: "They have to know that they need to take risks, and if the film is directed by an unknown director, then you need to study the script carefully, otherwise you may miss a good film." 」 ”
People are cold in the high places, and Katherine Deneuve, who wants to be the world's top genuine "high-end goods", is the most empathetic, not to mention that because of her personality and emotional encounters, Catherine Deneuve basically has no friends outside the circle, she is very clear that she wants to borrow her to ascend to the position, to elevate herself, she is also tired of this game.
Images of Catherine Deneuve in the film Indochina (1992).
"The best friend is Sophia Roland Sophia Loren, and whenever Sophia Roland comes to live in Paris, they will eat together four times a week." But beyond that, "Catherine Deneuve always seems to be alone." ”
After all, Catherine Deneuve and Sophia Roland had shared Marcelo Mastruani, which was an emotional experience they shared, and this kind of way that no one could understand may be a kind of traction and comfort in her two hearts.
But beyond that, "Catherine Deneuve always seems to be alone." "As a public figure, I always face the problem of how to balance the public image and private space," I often say 'no', not all invitations to events I accept, my shooting work takes up a lot of my time, my own time is a little less, sometimes I will put down my work and give myself a holiday." ”
To know that the vision of a good director is absolutely "poisonous", François Truffaut once commented on this former lover: "She is not very afraid of being observed, she is afraid of being recognized." ”
"If I were to take the reports of the untrue so-called "lovers" of me — correct them — oh my goodness! "There's going to be someone going to be a ghost in that, there's going to be something wrong in chronological order and causation, and at the end of the day I hate interviews." ”
Catherine Deneuve has always believed that "the formation of a person's image does not depend on the film, but on the appearance of rumors, film festivals or other programs, or on the articles and photographs published in a certain person. ”
Catherine Deneuve was taught how to play the trumpet on location in the film Willow (1967).

"My image," she said weatheredly, as if she could do nothing about it, "is a completely French woman." I'm just a fashionable, sly, sly and tasteful woman. ”
"For your face and body, it must be taken care of." Catherine Deneuve once said this. "This is your capital." When you see her smiling contentedly now, one will suddenly discover who she is: a woman entrepreneur who intelligently runs her products.
And France knew that it was much better to represent herself in Catherine Deneuve than in the lost women, the women who could see them through at a glance. Even some of her cheating and disrespectful behavior is under her control.
She is a Sphinx monster with no secrets. A "blasphemous" French journalist once said so. And her "ex-husband" Roger Vadim put it this way in his memoirs: "She played poker so well that she would trick you with clever hands." She was sometimes angelic and innocent, sometimes opportunistic. ”
