My Take

Isabelle de Funès fascinates me as a genuine multi-hyphenate, actress, singer, model and eventually photographer. Most people would stop at one lane; she refused. I keep coming back to her turn as Valentina in Baba Yaga (1973), bringing Crepax's comic-book icon to flesh-and-blood life, which demands a very specific kind of presence. What I find most telling is that she moved from being in front of the lens to standing behind it. That dual perspective, subject and observer, hints at an artist who was never content to be merely looked at. The restlessness is the appeal.
