My Take
Valérie Donzelli is exactly the kind of artist I gravitate toward. Rising from Épinal in the Vosges to become an actress who directs and writes her own films, she refuses to wait for someone else to tell her story. Declaration of War and Just the Two of Us turn intensely personal material into bold cinema, and her 2024 César for Best Adaptation confirms a screenwriter at the height of her craft. What moves me is the courage of authorship, controlling the camera, the page, and the performance all at once. I admire filmmakers this multifaceted and honest, and I want to keep following wherever she points the lens.
