Credit: Reuters/Christof Stache/Pool By Iain Blair LOS ANGELES | Thu Mar 24, 2011 5:21pm EDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Catherine Deneuve may be 67 years-old, which is past retirement age for many people. But the legendary French actress shows no sign of slowing down after making well over 100 films, including "Potiche," which debuts in major U.S. cities on Friday. Set in the 1970s in a provincial French town, 'Potiche' is a frothy sex comedy that reunites Deneuve with Gerard Depardieu and her "8 Women" director Francois Ozon ("Swimming Pool"). Deneuve plays Suzanne Pujol, the submissive, timid wife of a wealthy and tyrannical businessman who finds her inner tigress when her husband's workers go on strike at his umbrella factory and take him hostage. Here, Deneuve talks about the true meaning of 'Potiche,' marriage and lesbian love scenes. Q: 'Potiche' refers to your character, and it's being translated as 'trophy wife.' But she's not exactly a trophy. A: "No, 'Potiche' actually translates more like a 'useless decorative object,' while a trophy wife is more like this very young woman, with a much older man, who's very showy. The difference is, everyone can be a potiche once in a while." Q: I'm sure you've never been one. A: "Yes, of course I've been one! For example, you go to an event and you're bored and nothing happens and you're there with someone -- so you're a potiche for a few hours. Even men can be a potiche! It's a good word, no?" Q: How much of you is there in your character, Suzanne? A: "There's always a little of you in every character. Maybe the fact that she tries to smooth out all the drama and make everything okay for everyone -- that's how I am. I don't like drama. There's enough in life already." Q: She starts off as this little mouse... A: "Yes, and by the end she's this big rat! It's a bit like 'Rocky,' a success story against odds. I loved playing her." Q: This is your seventh film with Gerard Depardieu, who plays the communist mayor and your ex-lover. It must be like working with an old friend? A: "Yes, it makes it all much easier, and he's very warm and he loves actresses!" Q: Does he ever surprise you after all this time? A: "Always! He doesn't like to rehearse much, he likes to do things fast. He's very alive and witty, so it's wonderful as he never does the same thing twice." 1 2 Next Entertainment Fashion People Lifestyle Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
