Jane Greer had told me so. And how right she was. When I first met her for an interview at her Los Angeles home many years ago, I had a few issues with me of Film en Televisie, a Belgian film periodical that published my interviews back then. One of the covers featured a picture of Émilie Dequenne in her highly acclaimed screen debut “Rosetta” (1999), directed by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. “I saw that film the other day, and I loved it!” Ms. Greer said enthusiastically. “And let me tell you something: there’s absolutely no actress here in Hollywood who could have played Rosetta better than this young girl did.” It instantly marked Émilie Dequenne’s smashing screen debut: she rose to fame playing Rosetta, a young girl living with her troubled and alcoholic mother. There she was, the seventeen-year-old Dequenne, right out of the blue, and she was here to stay.
Now, almost twenty years later, she still is one of the most reliable, dignified, and versatile actresses of the French cinema. The down-to-earth, all-round Belgian-born (1981) leading lady belongs to the pantheon of actresses in France, one of the most cinephile countries in the world.
A four-time César-nominee and a star without behaving as such, she had just ordered a coffee, and turned off her cell phone when she sat down in the salon of a Brussels hotel to talk about her latest film, “Chez nous” (a.k.a. “This Is Our Land”). She plays a non-political small-town nurse Pauline, a working-class single mom living and working in industrial northeast France, who gets involved in a far-right political party when recruited as its mayoral candidate.
With the presidential elections coming up in France, about two months from now, the release and the message of this handsomely crafted political drama couldn’t be more appropriate.
Ms. Dequenne, what convinced you to play the part of Pauline?
Everything. One of the reasons was [screenwriter-director] Lucas Belvaux; we did “Pas son genre” [a.k.a. “Not My Type,” 2014] previously, and I was looking forward to working with him again. It surprises me when people tell me now, ‘Bravo, “Chez Nous” is a courageous film.’ But I don’t look at it from that point of view: to me, this film was the obvious thing to do. It’s an important film which I think was necessary to make. So when Lucas was still writing the screenplay and told me what it was about, it was essential for me to be part of it. In my own private life, I have been confronted with people whom I always expected to be on the same wavelength, we shared the same views, but in the world situation as it is today, they have the tendency to close their eyes and are willing to vote for an extreme right-wing party. And this drives me crazy, it really upsets me, I am stunned, so that’s why I immediately said to Lucas, ‘That’s a great project you’re working on.’ So when I got to play the part of Pauline, I wanted to do everything I possibly could to express myself as an actress through the words from the screenplay. This was terribly important to me, not only as an actress but also as a person, a woman, a mother and a citizen. “Chez nous” was a very logical thing to do.

What is the secret of your successful collaboration with Lucas Belvaux?
So far we did two films together, but I hope there will be more to come. I like working with him and the characters he creates. In French cinema, it‘s not always easy to find genuinely great parts for actresses, although I have always been very lucky so far. I always got to play strong and interesting characters, but in, let’s say, three-quarters of the French screenplays, the most interesting, complex, and challenging roles are for men. The woman is often ‘the wife of,’ and consequently, the character is less developed. But, again, I have always been very fortunate up until now to play interesting characters, very well written with great dialogues, so I am grateful for that. And as far as “Chez nous” is concerned, Lucas came up with wonderful characters in his screenplay, and I am very glad he thought of me for the role of Pauline. I like his kind of storytelling; I understand and appreciate his approach. I trust him, and he trusts me. I think that’s the chemistry which makes it work for both of us so beautifully.
For many years now, you have been one of the most dignified leading ladies of the French cinema. Does this result in any kind of responsibility?
[Laughs] I don’t look at it that way. I only try to do my work my way and as good as I possibly can. I listen a lot, and I only accept the roles that I really want to play. If I have any doubts about a part that I’m offered, I simply turn it down. So I have to be convinced to play a certain character before I accept the part, and then it really comes alive. You have to be honest with yourself, you know. When I accept a role, it’s almost a matter of life or death to me: if I wouldn’t believe in what I do—in my own portrayal—then it’s almost like killing the character. That’s why I am very careful when I choose a role I wish to play. I don’t take it for granted, I don’t take it too lightly. To me, a movie is an essential piece of my life, and it becomes even more crucial if the character can also become a part of me.

And what about your screenplays? When you receive a new one in your mailbox at home, when and how do you read it for the first time?
Always in the morning, and I always read it back-to-back—not in bits and pieces, and I don’t ask myself too many questions or analyze what it’s about. This allows me to visualize the screenplay and look at it as if I’m watching a movie: reading a screenplay is, in fact, like watching a movie. I focus on my character, the situations, and all the information I get from the other characters, so I have to be very alert—and alone. I really need to be alone, to absorb every word I read, and use my imagination to unfold the entire story. My first impression of a new screenplay is terribly important. Sometimes screenwriters suggest sending the first draft of a new screenplay they’re still working on, but I always say, ‘No no, only send it to me when it’s finished.’ Because then I can watch it as if it’s already a film, and that’s where it all begins for me. My imagination can take me anywhere the story leads me to. Then when I meet the director to talk about the screenplay and the character, I talk about the fantasy I created in the back of my head, and see if the director shares my views; we exchange thoughts and ideas, and that’s how you can gradually create something magnificent together. That’s a very interesting process. And when we’re shooting, I only wish to know the ‘where and when’ on the set—that’s it, basically—without digging too much into the character’s psychology. I work à l’instant, and I try to be as efficient as I can in my performance; otherwise, there’s always the danger you might lose some of your own spontaneity.
Do you need a lot of takes?
That depends on the director. If it’s exactly what he wants, then he’ll settle for one or two takes at the most. Working with Lucas Belvaux is very easy for me: we understand each other so well, and I instinctively know what he’s looking for. But if a director wants something different, we’ll do multiple takes. When I did the car scene in “À perdre la raison” (a.k.a. “Our Children,” 2012), director Joachim Lafosse was very amused by the different approaches in each take. ‘Ah, she has another suggestion! Ah, she wants to look at it from a different angle!’ he always said. But generally, I don’t mind at all if a director suggests me to do several takes, but if I don’t really see any reason to, I always ask what I need to change. When you work with the Dardenne brothers [Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne], for example, they can do a scene over and over again, and as an actor you might not know exactly why—you even don’t ask why—simply because you know they are searching for something else. But in the end, I always rely on the director’s judgment. If he asks me, ‘What do you think, was this good enough for you,’ I always say, ‘You have to decide, who am I to judge if this was good enough?’ The director makes the decisions, so he has the final word on the set.
When you work with a director you never worked with before, do you have any expectations?
No, not really. I like to be surprised by his creativity, his approach, and the way he works with his actors. It’s always a challenge. There are always a few conditions, though, such as the screenplay, the role you’re about to play, and mutual trust. That is very important.
Do you need a lot of rehearsals before shooting a scene?
Very little. For “Chez Nous,” Lucas had prepared everything very carefully, so there was really no need to. Right before “Chez Nous”—and almost simultaneously—I also made “Au revoir là-haut” with director Albert Dupontel. For this film, we all knew exactly what we were expected to do, since we had rehearsed everything. He had the entire film in his mind before we first appeared on the set. That’s the joy of this profession: you get to work with different filmmakers, and they all have their own working methods.
You just mentioned the Dardenne brothers. The day they picked you out to play Rosetta, was that the most crucial day in your career up until now?
Absolutely. Ever since I was a five-year-old, it was my ultimate goal to become an actress. And because I grew up in the country, I never thought it would be possible to live this life as an actress that I’ve been leading for almost two decades now. So all of this has become possible thanks to the Dardenne brothers.
They did give you a stunning role, and you really did something extremely worthwhile with it, didn’t you?
It was a magical part to play; it wasn’t an easy part, and being an actress isn’t always as easy as it might look, but thanks to the Dardennes I have been able to choose the roles I like to play ever since. Can you imagine how wonderful that is? Since I was seventeen years old, I have been able to choose what I did with my professional life, and I never think of acting as ‘a job.’ What a luxury!
You got instant recognition, Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival, you were nominated for a César, and numerous other awards followed. For a seventeen-year-old, wasn’t it perhaps a little bit too much too soon?
No, not for me. I mean, you never play a role hoping to win any awards for the work you do, but if you’re lucky to win, it’s a wonderful bonus. Awards are not the most important thing in your life, but it’s always nice if you’re awarded.
