Laughter coming from the North: Sidse Babett Knudsen tells Mauro Donzelli February 8, 2017 A hearty laugh, a joke always ready to happen, Sidse Babett Knudsen seems more a strict view that the Danish actress joiner Australian in Susanne Bier's after the wedding or the third film of the Dogma, Mifune. The international breakthrough for this good actress came with the role of the Prime Minister of Denmark in Borgen, television series popular in many European countries, especially France, where one of the biggest fans is Catherine Deneuve. She suggested to Director Emmanuelle Bercot, desperately seeking an actress capable of interpreting the true story of Irène Frachon, doctor capable of fighting against a pharmaceutical giant to withdraw a drug by serious side effects. Before the release of 150 milligrams, came the César award in a supporting role for the Court, beside Fabrice Luchini, returning to television with the tv series, HBO's success as well as Westworld hell of Ron Howard. The genesis of the film told us in Paris, during the Rendez-Vous of Unifrance. Emmanuelle and producer I have come to find, telling me that it was some sort of Erin Brockovich French, telling me the story of Irène. I met her in Paris, is a crazy woman. Took me aside and told me ' you don't know anything about this story, I'll tell you. Has an incredible talent in using the right words to the person opposite. I was immediately hooked, she with her story. " What was your biggest challenge? The French, because it speaks very quickly. It is difficult to interpret a real person, you have many responsibilities. I saw her on television give an interview and was perfect when you need it can be a steamroller. When he saw 150 milligrams the first time sent me a message saying I had returned every emotion he felt in real life, thanking me. Then we watched the movie together and been crying continuously for both. In sobs. Irène Frachon is someone well known in France, often appeared on television, why not make a documentary but a movie? We called immediately with Emmanuelle Bercot: to get people to pay for the ticket to go to the movies we had to do something other than a simple documentary. There are elements of thriller, but universal is the story of a town that rebels against an injustice. When I read the script I thought it came at the right time. Today we need such stories, for everything that happens in the world. It is important to give the responsibility to the people. Westworld is a series in which anything can happen, no matter what happens to his character. He signed up for the second set, coming back? Well, let me see what I'm supposed to respond ... No, I can't really talk about that. We'll see what happens. I can say that while touring example we too many theories, as well as fans when they saw. How many chat with girls makeup, but also with the writers, who were always present on the set. But not go to them and ask for too much, the mystery is good to keep it intact and many things we discovered them just by reading the scripts. It all started at the international level with Borgen? Borgen was an important showcase to the world, after I received tenders; but I was trained in France and have always wanted to perform in English. I think it's a very funny language for an actor, then I grew up with the American cinema. I've always wanted to say: "Oh my God" or "Non, je ne T'aime pas, no no. Even the Finn isn't bad. All kidding aside, I would like to do more different things possible, I really like it. Why is over to study in France? It was a decision made with my girlfriends in 15 years. We said that we would go to Paris immediately, as soon as diplomate. I think the attraction comes from the movies we had seen in those years, as Betty Blue and Diva: colored reality, Bohemian and full of passion, or simply the desire to grow up and leave for a year. Then I tried to do the auditions for the theatre and they caught me and I decided to stay a bit longer. Eventually I became six years. As she found herself instead to work in American productions? I am very impressed by the actors. Always come prepared and know the joke and how to say it, from the first take. In Europe we tend more to try, try to get to the right situation. We like to talk about an art form in the United States are hyper, they find it business, a professional job. Then came a big Hollywood blockbuster as Hell, alongside Tom Hanks, with whom he worked always last year also in Tom Tykwer's film based on the novel Hologram for King, seen at Tribeca and still unpublished in Italy. I auditioned via skype with Ron Howard, my role was a mysterious white-haired woman, 60 years old. We can make some change, but I was reassured. Working with Tom Hankswas a double joy. Gives off vibes and full of joy when he's around you are just happy; I'd do anything with him. Danish films has given great directors and films, a small miracle for such a small country. With whom would you like to work at home? Maybe with Lars Von Trier? In fact I've been working for a week. I was Nicole Kidman in Dogville. I really don't believe that? And how it was to be Nicole Kidman, then? It was nice. All kidding aside, it was a test to show funders how would come on the floor with the interior designed movie-HAIA strange with a pencil. But it was a lot of fun and Lars is a very special person, there is something very sweet about him.
