“The woman is passionate, the actress is fascinating. Every time I imagine her from a distance, I don't see her reading a newspaper but a book, because Jeanne Moreau does not make us think of flirting but of love,” said François Truffaut. Seen through the prism of a friendship, this is perhaps the most accurate portrait of an iconic actress. Meetings, elective affinities, trips, songs and poems, with a detour through astrology and a gourmet break, the book tells of Jeanne, her childhood, her learning of the discipline, her career, her family, her successes, her injuries, her stardom. Her roles in the cinema (Kathe in Truffaut's Jules et Jim, Losey's Eva, Jeanne Tournier in Louis Malle's Les Amants, and Mademoiselle by Tony Richardson) and in the theater (La Célestine, Le Récit de la servante Zerline), and her meetings and friendships with Orson Welles, Luis Buñuel, Marguerite Duras and Wim Wenders testify to an intelligence and an uncompromising curiosity of mind.
