Marion Cotillard Talks Cannes Double-Duty With “Strong And Twisted” ‘Karma’, “Very Artistic” ‘Roma Elastica’ & Returning After Raising Her Family

Oscar-winning Cannes habitué Marion Cotillard returns to the festival with Guillaume Canet’s Karma and Bertrand Mandico’s Roma Elastica. These titles bring her Official Selection tally to 16 films since 2011, eight of them in Competition, including Jacques Audiard’s Rust and Bone, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne’s Two Days, One Night and Leos Carax’s Annette. Karma revolves around a woman with a troubled past whose new life is upended by a child’s disappearance, while Roma Elastica follows an actress caught up in a crazy film shoot in Rome in the 1980s. Cotillard says both roles appealed to a desire for challenges during a period of transition in her life.
