The incredible thing about Charlotte Gainsbourg is the way it also tells you the most intimate things. Above all, the fact that you the stories. There are respondents who are put on the defensive from the moment you turn on the recorder, others with whom you have the distinct impression that the first question a bit 'more personal (and even some "do you like pasta?" falls in the category) will call the publicist and you will drive crashed. With her no, indeed. With her you have no common sense that you could ask all who respond to everything with his voice and those ways delicate, and perhaps because of it, because you see it available and maybe even a little 'defenseless, you're the first to hold you , not to sink, because you're almost willing to protect it. Even more so when the topic of conversation back to an episode of the summer of 2007: Gainsbourg takes the head by water skiing. He gets up as if nothing had happened. Months later and after weeks of fierce headaches, she undergoes an MRI (the acronym in French, in fact, IRM) il cui risultato è chiaro: emorragia cerebrale. «Sono stata per un mese a rischio di morte e non ho avuto nessun segnale del pericolo che stavo correndo», ricorda lei. «È stata questa la cosa più sconvolgente. I medici non potevano credere che non avessi avuto nessun sintomo. Continuavo a pensare: e se mi succede di nuovo? Come faccio ad accorgermene?». Adesso Gainsbourg sta bene, anzi «fisicamente stavo già bene il giorno dopo l’intervento. La parte più difficile è stata il recupero psicologico: ero terrorizzata, come se mi avessero tagliato le gambe. Non sapevo da che parte andare, ero molto instabile. Lavorare a questo disco è stato il modo migliore per uscire dal tunnel in cui ero finita». IRM has thus become the title of his third album , a project carried out together with American musician Beck and where in a song you hear the sound of the scanner.
Why did you decided to make public something as private as his health?
"Not having the compound or the music or the words, but I wanted to find a way to make MRI work my staff. In fact at first I thought of putting only the sound of resonance within a track and Beck liked the idea very much. Then, almost without telling us, the disc has been developed around the themes of remembrance, of life, loss. It was a process natural, instinctive. We never sat at a table saying, ok, now we write songs about my illness. "
diseases sometimes make us discover stronger than we thought to be. Even for her it was so?
"The opposite. Until the accident I always thought of myself as a strong person: after I discovered weak and prey to panic attacks, very vulnerable. "
After the intervention has begun to affect this album with Beck and shoot "Antichrist" by Lars von Trier: two characters are not exactly easy to work with. We have chosen a real shock therapy to quit the crisis ...
"I'm very insecure and I like to trust others, let them control the situation: I like the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing able to completely give up something stronger. When working on a film or disk does not have time to think about your problems is a way to forget about yourself, to get out what you are. It was just what I needed and it was very therapeutic. "
you rightly do not remember, but we were already met in Cannes last May. Then I told her not to be considered an artist, but rather that the word puts it almost in awe. On this record, however, she sings like a real singer.
'Well, yes, the previous album (entitled 5:55, note) I was much more shy and bashful. With Beck was easier because there were only two of us and the sound engineer, was a very intimate situation. He was good at making me feel that I could experiment and that no one would judge me for that. "
The fact of not being an artist has to do with being the daughter of two icons of cinema and music?
"I grew up with a father who used to repeat that his own music was not anything important, that artists were real Chopin and Beethoven, not him. Same thing for my mother never liked her, not le sono mai piaciuti i suoi film, non si è mai considerata una grande attrice. Ecco, ora si immagini come possa sentirmi io, io che non ho mai davvero composto una canzone o scritto una sceneggiatura. E poi la parola artista è imbarazzante di suo: sentirla abbinata a me mi fa vergognare».
Amy Winehouse sul suo twitter ha scritto di vergognarsi di suo padre, perché va in giro a rilasciare interviste come una rockstar. Lei si è mai vergognata di qualcosa che hanno fatto i suoi genitori?
«Oh sì. Quando ero bambina odiavo essere accompagnata a scuola da mia madre perché sapevo che i miei compagni di classe prendevano in giro lei e mio padre. Allo stesso tempo però ero orgogliosa di loro two, and then the comments of my peers do not hurt me that much. The time I have ever been ashamed of most was when my father, for fear that I dhimmi took up arms, I had to put calcaglia two bodyguards following me to school. I was a kid, it seemed all a game, until I realized he was right because there was a real danger. "
It is still painful for her to hear the songs of his father?
"Yes, because hearing the voice at times I forget he's dead. It's strange, it still makes me suffer. "
But later in life decided to make the singer.
"I thought I'd never managed to sing without my father. All of my musical experiences have always been associated with him from classical music that made me listen to a child, the first album I've ever worked (Lemon incest, ed.) When he died it's like the dead desire to make music. It took me a long time to find that desire inside of me. "
To his children do not listen to the songs of his grandfather?
"With them I used this trick: I put the iPod in their records of my father and waited for them to discover for themselves. I like to think that you are building a personal fantasies about him from his music. "
course for un'insicura lei si è scelta delle sfide mica male. Qual è la prossima? Un nuovo disco o un film?
«Cantare dal vivo. Mia madre insiste da tempo perché lo faccia e alla fine mi ha convinto».
