City Lights (1931) by Charles Chaplin.

“It comes from my childhood, my parents liked very much Charlie Chaplin’s films. His films came along with me and they still do. It’s extraordinary. This little man was a great man. The story of City Lights moves me, particularly the end of the film. She sees him and it is the first time she sees him in all his sincerity -there is something very moving here, very strong. I think that Chaplin’s films still resonate nowadays, they travel perfectly through time.”

Adelaide Leroux was seen for the time in the film Flanders by Bruno Dumont, which received the Grand Prize of the Jury in the 59th Cannes Film Festival in 2006. She is back on the “croisette” this year for Home by Ursula Meier, in which she co-stars with Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet. The film was presented in an exceptional screening at the International Critics’ Week.
