It seems that even international stars have their off days.
During an interview on the French TV show Les Rencontres Du Papotin, Marion Cotillard was asked about her stint in the Christopher Nolan movie The Dark Knight Rises.
More specifically, the Oscar winner was asked about her death scene, and whether she felt – as the interviewer did – that she’d missed the mark.
“Effectively, I agree with you,” she admitted. “I don’t think I nailed that scene. What happened was that I didn’t find the right position, I didn’t find the right way.”
“I was stressed, and there you have it,” Marion added. “Sometimes it happens that you mess up. And I messed up.”
The camera angles and positioning of the actor in Marion’s death scene have long been a bugbear of fans of the Dark Knight movies, which the La Vie En Rose actor previously addressed in an interview back in 2016.
“Sometimes there are failures, and when you see this on screen, you’re thinking: ‘Why? Why did they keep that take?’ But either you blame everyone or nobody,” she told Allociné.
“But I thought people overreacted because it was tough to be identified just with this scene. When I’m doing the best I can to find the authenticity in every character that I’m playing, it’s tough to be known just for this scene.”
The Dark Knight Rises was the third in Christopher Nolan’s Batman series.
Alongside Christian Bale the caped crusader, the film featured an all-star supporting cast that also included Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
