It was clear that he was not going to be the little wife of someone, the housewife who takes care of her husband,” he said in an interview with dpa in the past month of September. It was the lady of French cinema Catherine Deneuve, who spoke to Bercot her for this role, and the scandinavian, he didn’t.
“I like the roles with substance, characters with contradictions, but I’m not looking for particularly play strong women or heroines,” says this actress who was born in Copenhagen 47 years ago. “What I don’t like are the stereotypes, or read scripts that are written like the person who writes any thing. I like the characters that I am looking for also as public”.
“The doctor of Brest” is based on the autobiographical book by Frachon “MEDIATOR 150mg: Combien de morts?”. In it, the neumóloga tells how in his modest hospital of Brest, in Brittany, france, discovered that there was a direct connection between a series of cardiopatologías and a drug against diabetes, approved by the State.
in view of the passivity of the authorities, which took decades looking the other way, and decided to withdraw it from the market, Frachon undertook a titanic battle against the all-powerful pharmaceutical gala Servier and the dome itself French in matters of health. A fight of David against Goliath to the that this fireproof women will need all their courage and energy, but which will also have its costs.
“For me, Irène is all about an inspiring woman. Because as individuals, I believe that our role is not to sit back and wait,” said Babett Knudsen. But though he sympathizes with a variety of causes, believes that the best way to express his commitment is by acting. “That is my strength. I am not very good with words and it gives me better use of the others.”
With a mount that baby clearly from the Hollywood movie, “The doctor of Brest” narrates to the rhythm of a thriller how, sometimes, there are people willing to face up to a giant. And, sometimes, even, to get it down.
