Valérie Donzelli, born March 2, 1973 in Épinal (France), is a French actress, screenwriter and filmmaker. She directed three films between 2009 and 2013, whose Declaration of War.[1]
Early life
Valérie Donzelli grows up in Créteil, nearly Paris. She moved then in Lille with her family when she was 14 years old before coming back in Paris at the age of 19. Before starting working in the cinema, Valérie Donzelli first studied architecture, but abandon quickly. She started playing theater at the municipal conservatory of the 10rd arrondissement of Paris, but keep a bad memory of this period. To live, she worked at Ladurée where she salt cakes. She met Jérémie Elkaïm at the same time, who becomes her partner, both in life and at work, and who encouraged her to stop the conservatory and the work at Ladurée to become actress. Together, they have two kids, whose Gabriel who inspired the movie Declaration of War (La Guerre est Déclarée, 2011). They are now separate, but still have a close relationship. [2][3]
Carrer
In 2001, Valérie Donzelli was the leading actress in Martha Martha, by Sandrine Veysset, which will be presented at La Quinzaine des Réalisateurs during Cannes Festival. Then, she played subordinates roles in Who Killed Bambi?, Le Plus Beau Jour de ma vie, and also Entre ses mains. She achieved great success among French public thanks to the French TV show Clara Sheller (2005), in which she plays Jeanne, best friend of the main character. Donzelli's first film, The Queen of Hearts (La Reine des Pommes, 2009), in which she was the leading actress, be more successful than expected. Jérémie Elkaïm is also co-writer. The film was presented at Locarno International Film Festival. Despite of its low budget, around 7000€, the film can be considered as a success because of its 30 000 spectators. [4][5]
In 2011, with the help of her now ex-partner Jérémie Elkaïm, Valérie Donzelli directed her second full-length feature film, Declaration of War. This movie, presented during the 2011 Cannes Festival, achieves great success, public and critic. It is directly inspired by their private life, relating how their couple fought against their son's cancer when he was 18 months.[6]
Donzelli directed once again Jérémie Elkaïm in Main dans la main (2012), with also Valérie Lemercier in the leading role.
Donzelli considers that this is always a politic and engaged gesture to make films as women, and admires Agnès Varda for her work and her status of first women filmmaker into French Cinema.[7]
Valérie Donzelli is part of the jury during Locarno International Film Festival in 2013. She presents Que d'Amour!, a TV adaptation from the play The Game of Love and Chance (Le Jeu de l'Amour et du Hasard), by Marivaux, with Comédie-Française' sociétaires. [8]
