It’s a very beautiful thriller for children but a simple parenthesis in the break of this very discreet actress. Audrey Tautou returns to theaters on Wednesday, lending her voice to the animated film Nina and the Secret of the Hedgehog,
The unforgettable Amélie Poulain plays Nina's mother, a little girl in search of a treasure hidden in the old factory of her unemployed father (Guillaume Canet), helped by an imaginary hedgehog (Guillaume Bats), hero of his evening stories.
This is the first time that French spectators will hear the voice of Audrey Tautou in the cinema since 2018 and the release of the film En liberté, while her latest feature film, The Jesus Rolls, spin-off of The Big Lebowski, does not was not released in French cinemas after being a flop in the United States in 2020.
Her admirers will also be able to see her again in the flesh from January 19 to 25 at La Seine musicale, near Paris, for a reading of Charlotte, the book by David Foenkinos dedicated to the Jewish painter Charlotte Salomon. But not (yet) in a new film.
“I don’t want to return immediately to my job as an actress,” she explained this week in a rare interview with L’Obs. “I’m just making a departure,” adds the one who stepped back to “take advantage” of her daughter, adopted in Vietnam in 2019. “I can’t imagine leaving my home at 6 a.m. to return to 9 p.m., five days a week for three months. Depriving myself of my child for a shoot is a no!” explains the forty-year-old who for the moment prefers to devote herself to photography and drawing, illustrating a children's book that she wrote.
It is because she cannot “refuse anything” to the creators of Nina and the Secret of the Hedgehog, Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol, that Audrey Tautou joined their project, after having already participated in their previous film, Phantom Boy, in 2015. “They are talented and adorable directors. And, as with Charlotte, I knew it wouldn't take me much time."
“What I love about Audrey is the energy she manages to convey, the nuances in her voice and, what's more, she has a lot of humor,” explains Alain Gagnol to AFP. She has a very sparkling voice. For animation, it’s really perfect.” The opportunity for the director to also pay tribute to Guillaume Bats, a comedian who died this year at the age of 36, who lends his voice to the hedgehog, a black and white character inspired by the first Mickey Mouse.
