Invitation to Bulle Ogier

Discovered as the embodiment of insolence and freedom in Alain Tanner's The Salamander (1971), Bulle Ogier has worked with the greatest directors: Rivette, Buñuel, Fassbinder, Chabrol and Barbet Schroeder, who is also her partner. She is a symbol of an ambitious and innovative ‘auteur’ cinema, but also excels in comedy and can light up the theatre stage. In 2019, she confided in Anne Diatkine for J'ai oublié, winner of the prestigious ‘Prix Médicis essai’.
