Juliette Binoche Tells "Io Donna" (Italy) That Robert Pattinson Is A Very Ambitious Man

Juliette Binoche talks about the new David Cronenberg film starring Robert Pattinson: Cosmopolis. Here's a preview of her interview in "Io Donna"

I translated this using google translate so if it's a bit lost in translation that's why ;-)



Cosmopolis is the place and the time is when "a rat became the unit of currency."

That's the epigraph to the novel by Don DeLillo that David Cronenberg has made ​​into a film.
It says a lot that it is among one of the most anticipated at the Cannes Film Festival (out May 25).
"We are at the end of an era, the golden age of cyber capitalism, with the booming markets and unbridled dreams of individual wealth." On that fateful day Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson, the star of Twilight) - a young and immoral millionaire - decides to cross the city, in his soundproofed and protected limousine for a haircut.
In this odyssey he will meet rebellion, will cross the fate of murderers, professionals, technocrats, and that of Didi Fincher, his art dealer.
She proposes to acquire a work by Mark Rothko. But Eric Packer wants the Rothko Chapel for himself , a place of spirituality that 'belongs to the world. "The deal will not be made."
Didi Fincher in "Cosmopolis" is Juliette Binoche, an actress who is an object of desire for directors all over the world.

"I'm 41 years and understand what is the problem," says her character in the film. "Life is too contemporary."

Don DeLillo's writing - and the film is very faithful to the novel - it was for me the extraordinary discovery of a universe.

A cold world, without humanity. That forces us to face the nightmare of desire, anxiety to possess everything, the obsession to win, to climb higher up, looking for a "more" that is not there.

Although her character is very contemporary, mixing sex and business, and perhaps no longer believes in anything, not even art. What effect did it have?

Didi Fincher is a lost woman, just like Eric Packer is lost. It's just one person, it's apparent weight is actually a hiding place to allay anxiety. Cosmopolis speaks of our need to procure money, sex, power and mix everything. A very dangerous game.

Robert Pattinson, who is the protagonist of Cosmopolis, is a global icon, a living image of beauty and youth. A perfect choice.

I met Robert for the first time on set. I must admit that I hadn't seen his films. And I found in him a fierce passion for cinema, he knows the cinema much better than me. It was lovely and fun to work with him. He's a very ambitious man and one day wants to produce and direct his films.
