Here’s the trailer for ‘Lourdes’, the quality is not very good but at least it’s something! Hopefully a better quality one and more info about the film will be released soon.

I’ve also added the scans from the October 2008 issue of the french Glamour which Nora has very kindly donated and translated the article for the site.

GLAMOUR : Can you introduce yourself ?
Léa Seydoux : I grew up in Paris. I just turned 23. That’s it.

In what have we seen you and what’s new ?
I started with a comedy for teens, ‘Mes copines’, by Sylvie Ayme. I have had a small part in Catherine Breillat’s movie, ‘Une vieille maîtresse’. You will also see me in a movie by Bertrand Bonello which is out in October, in ’13 French Street’ by Jean-Pierre Mocky and ‘La Belle Personne’ by Christophe Honoré. I just finished a movie with Sylvie Testud.

The thing most people talk to you about ?
An American Apparel ad where you see my boobs. It made an impression.

Your brain wave about movies ?
It may sound pretentious, but I’ve always known that I was made for it. I wasn’t discovered in the street, I made myself on my own. I took acting classes, I started by doing ads… so I worked ! And I even took big clobberings !

The most discouraging moment ?
It was a casting audition for a TV movie. The producer looked at me and said : “You know, the character is a girl who has experienced things, who is serious, who has a depth. We can’t say that you look like you’ve experienced anything !” Okay, at the time, I was a platinium blonde. She didn’t even wanted me to do the try outs.

Your best (or worst) filming memory ?
The best : Christophe Honoré’s movie. During the filming, I felt the same things as when I’m in love, this kind of euphoric thing : your heart is beating, you want to do a million things.
