    Episode 1138 - Helen Mirren

    Dame Helen Mirren is a winner of the Oscar, the Tony, the Emmy, and the BAFTA, and is in the middle of an illustrious career in which she played the great roles of Shakespeare, Catherine the Great and Queen Elizabeth, to name a few. And yet she still begged to be cast in the Fast and Furious franchise. Helen tells Marc why she finds film acting powerful, challenging, and uniquely fulfilling compared to her stage work. They also talk about her breakthrough on Prime Suspect, her job at an amusement park, and bears.

    Helen Mirren - SPÉCIAL CANNES

    À l’occasion du Festival de Cannes, je vous propose une série spéciale dédiée au cinéma. Des entretiens inédits avec des acteurs, actrices, réalisateurs et réalisatrices, venus du monde entier. Mais aussi des rediffusions de conversations marquantes avec des personnalités emblématiques du 7e art, pour découvrir leurs parcours, leur vision et leurs anecdotes exclusives. Aujourd’hui, je suis heureuse de vous faire (re)découvrir l'interview enregistrée l'année dernière avec la géniale Helen Mirren, égérie L’Oréal Paris et véritable icône du cinéma international. À presque 80 ans, elle incarne une liberté, une élégance et une lucidité rares. Dans notre échange elle revient sur ses débuts sur scène à cinq ans, son rapport ambivalent à la lumière des projecteurs, et son premier tapis rouge à Cannes. Elle partage aussi son engagement pour une meilleure représentation des femmes dans le cinéma, évoquant des décennies de plateaux dominés par des hommes, et la manière dont elle s’est battue pour défendre des personnages plus complexes et plus vrais. Helen Mirren parle également de son rapport au temps qui passe, de la beauté qui évolue, de la place des doutes et des insécurités dans son parcours, et de l’importance d’accepter (et de célébrer) ce qui nous rend uniques. Bonne écoute ! Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

    Helen Mirren, Joker, Rona Munro

    Helen Mirren discusses taking on the role of notorious Russian empress Catherine the Great, Russia’s longest-ruling female leader for a new TV miniseries. She talks about the preparation for the role, her habit of binge-watching TV and why she admires Madonna. Joker, the new film exploring the origins of DC comic book villain The Joker, Batman’s nemesis, is proving controversial before it’s even opened. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips, the movie has already been deemed ‘problematic’ by some. Critics Isabel Stevens and Mark Eccleston discuss whether a backstory for a villainous character excuses or explains them. Mary Shelley takes centre stage in a new production of Frankenstein where the action of the Gothic masterpiece unfolds around its creator. Playwright Rona Munro explains why she wanted to foreground the 18-year-old Shelley who was totally in control of her creative powers. Presenter: Nikki Bedi Producer: Timothy Prosser
