Emmanuelle Bercot

What draws me to Emmanuelle Bercot is her refusal to stay on one side of the camera. Acting and directing each demand a different kind of nerve, and the fact that France keeps decorating her, all the way up to Officer of Arts and Letters, tells me her films carry weight rather than novelty. I tend to trust filmmakers who can both perform a scene and shape it, because they understand the work from the inside out. She strikes me as someone who chooses depth over flash, and if I had to pick, I would reach for her directing first.
