Because she has hair as black as ebony, skin as white as snow, and lips as red as blood, some people thought they recognized Mikey Madison as Snow White’s cousin. Doesn’t it have a Disney name? Even more so since the film that reveals it today, Anoraby Sean Baker, takes up the framework of fairy tales: the actress plays a poor girl, Anora, who has a love that is as perfect as it is unexpected with a prince. Enough to unleash the ire of his clan, especially his mother-in-law.
Be careful, the story fits with the present of American hyperliberalism: Anora is a prostitute, and her prince, the son of a Russian oligarch. As a carriage, they fly with a private jet; instead of in a castle, they get married in a mansion in New York or a palace in Las Vegas. In Cannes, Anora it won a Palme d’Or which seemed like a magic wand, given its modest budget. It didn’t take long for the actress to be offered the “new princess of auteur cinema” costume, nimbly cut in spring by a swooning press.
Something of this enchantment still hovers in the air when we meet Dame Madison, at the end of September, in the suites of the Lutetia in Paris, where the promotion takes placeAnora. For the occasion she wore her most beautiful ball gown, black like her hair, and her most beautiful shoes. In the other wing of the Parisian hotel, Francis Ford Coppola receives journalists for the release of his great work, Megalopolis. “It all seems a bit unreal to me…”says the 25-year-old actress, stars in her eyes.
Its guardian angel, Sean Baker, roams the halls, with his wife, producer Samantha Quan, and their dog. He discovered Mikey Madison in Once upon a time… in Hollywood (2019), by Quentin Tarantino, where she makes a brief but memorable appearance, in the role of an exalted follower of a Californian cult. “What courage!” Even against actors of the caliber of Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio she prevailed.”praises the filmmaker, referring to the ending of the film, which features him as the protagonist Titanic forced to dampen the young woman’s ardor with… a flamethrower.
A “reserved” nature.
It was after the screening of Cry (2022), the fifth part of the terrible saga, where Madison wears the mask of the serial killer, to whom Sean Baker decides to entrust her with the role of Anora. “Leaving the cinema I said to my wife: “Anora, it’s her!”rembobine-t-il. In the space of two films, I was able to measure the full range of his acting: Mikey can bite, fight, explode with incredible insolence, but he also masters the mechanics of comedy. And then her beauty goes beyond Hollywood canons and takes us elsewhere. »
