About to enter the realm of the fifty-somethings, Michelle Pfeiffer is on form. The actress attended the Berlin Film Festival to present her latest work, Cheri, directed by the British director Stephen Frears, and in which Pfeiffer plays a beautiful, rich courtesan who falls in love with a man 20 years her junior. As I get older, my admirers get younger and younger joked the actress at a press conference in which she made fun of her age in front of hundreds of journalists. And, unfortunately, today it is still unusual for such a veteran actress to continue to triumph and above all enchant all kinds of audiences.
Cheri, based on the novel of the same name by the French writer Colette, is the second film Pfeiffer has made with Frears. 21 years ago they worked together on Dangerous Liaisons.
Another protagonist of the day was Brenda Blethyn, the British actress rumoured to be a favourite for the Silver Bear for her performance in London River, directed by Frenchman Rachid Bouchareb. This film portrays the drama lived through by two people, a British mother and an African father, looking for their children in London after the July 2005 attacks.
