My Take
De Fougerolles is the kind of French actress who earned respect from her peers rather than tabloid noise. Two nominations for the César's Most Promising Actress, plus the Prix Romy Schneider for Rivette's Va savoir, tell me critics and the industry took her seriously early. What I find appealing is that she didn't stay boxed in as a performer; she moved into directing and screenwriting too. Coming from Vannes in Brittany rather than Paris gives her a slightly outsider feel that I like. She keeps things private, and her work speaks loudly enough that she doesn't need to chase attention.
