The Ten Commandments for the hundredth time, this film never gets old for me, I love it.

Interviews with stars Natalia Vodianova : "I discovered that I can be an actress " Published July 26, 2013 Model, stylist and muse , very active at the head of her foundation to help children with disabilities in Russia, the Russian top sublime shade a new card : the cinema . She made her debut as an actress in " Belle du seigneur " * , a young woman overcome by the mad love. And in life? 1/3 Natalia Vodianova and the role of Ariane One day in 2000, we spotted during a the Irié fashion show a young woman with a melancholic gaze hidden behind thick eyebrows . A strang mixture of Romy Schneider and Brooke Shields, round cheeks and full lips . It was love at first sight between the girl who had landed the year before of her native Russia and the drafting of Marie Claire . Name: Natalia Vodianova . Born in Nizhny Novgorod. Discovered at 17 by a modeling agency in Paris . We had booked for series in which she contrasted with her fiery gaze and her luminous presence . Since then, the former debutante became superstar. At 31, the woman nicknamed Supernova is not only one of the best paid models and the muse Guerlain, but also an accomplished businesswoman, who successfully launched a line of lingerie Etam . Separated from Viscount Justin Portman , with whom she had three children , Natalia took up residence in Paris, where her new love lives , Antoine Arnault. This is on the left bank , near her home , that we met for the release of " Belle du seigneur " , the cult book adaptation of Albert Cohen. Ariane , the sublime, the desperate , this is her. Angelic face , sweet voice ... But Natalia knows where it wants to go. An angel of iron in a satin skin . Marie Claire: What did you learn about yourself by interpreting the role of Ariane ? Natalia Vodianova : That I could be an actress , but nothing new about myself . I did not know the novel by Albert Cohen. In order to work for the role , I read the first hundred pages of the book and I skim read the rest . Sometimes it is better not to go into too much a work to be surprised. Marie Claire: Have you had trouble with the sex scenes ? Natalia Vodianova : Sure. It was a little scary at first , but ultimately, those scenes were shot very quickly. We did not ask : it had to go ! Marie Claire : You play an Ariane who is stronger than she is in the book ... Natalia Vodianova : Exactly. It is much more aware of the ambiguous game played Solal . In the film , the two characters are equal. And I think it is important now to show women characters who can inspire . Ariane film is not passive . She made ​​mistakes in its handling of the situation , because she is very young. But she keeps her dignity. Marie Claire: Do you think that trying to reach such a level of passion , Ariane and Solal doom their relationship to fail ? Natalia Vodianova : Absolutely . Ariane and Solal love each other, there is no doubt about it . But when you start to play a destructive game in a relationship it's headed for disaster. Unless you are able to discuss it openly with his partner to cope with the situation and try to resolve it. 2/3 Natalia Vodianova : her obsessions Marie Claire : Marie Claire: Were you aware of your beauty when you were very young ? Natalia Vodianova : No. And besides, as a teenager, I did not find myself beautiful . Many boys made ​​fun of me because I was very tall, very thin and very withdrawn . I tried to look better, but the result was not great ... But when I was 15, I realized the look of older men , and I realized that I could please. I was very lucky not to encounter problems, because I lived in a dangerous neighborhood and knew how some men can be violent with women. However, from the age of 11 , I was alone in the street, I was selling fruits and vegetables with a small handcart , and anyone could pick on me. It just happened to me a few times to beat me against drunken men , but I 've always had the upper hand. Marie Claire: You 're selling fruits and vegetables with your mother? Natalia Vodianova : we had bearings . After school, I was replacing her. Then I came home to take care of my sister Oksana , who is autistic . Today , she lives with my mother in Russia. It is not always easy , I know that my mother will this weight until the end of his life and it will then be up to us to take care of her . But Oksana is happy, and this is a very nice person . Marie Claire: Have you lived a self-destructive relationship? Natalia Vodianova : Yes , very young. But it is often the case with the first love story , one that leads nowhere and ends with bitter tears . For me , what really binds two people is honesty, respect, compassion for one another and mutual interest. When only sex connects two people , it does not run long . Making love is very important to keep the flame , but if there is that it limits a relationship. Because once the urge is not as strong than at the beginning , what is left? Nothing. Marie Claire : Albert Cohen books talk a lot about death implicitly. Is this also part of your obsessions ? Natalia Vodianova : Not an obsession but a truth which, paradoxically, makes it possible to maintain life. I think about death because it seems important to remember that one day I 'm gone and I need to live each day as if it were the last. That does not mean I have to do everything that goes through my head, but I need to know to make the right decisions , those dictated by the heart and not by the lure of immediate pleasure or comfort . And , above all, become the person we want that others remember . Marie Claire : Is it this philosophy of life that makes you so calm ? Natalia Vodianova : My serenity is that I always try to be honest with myself and to live according to certain principles of integrity , courage and honesty that I apply daily . 3/3 Natalia Vodianova : family life Marie Claire : You were educated by your mother. What relationship did you have with your father when you were a child? Natalia Vodianova : I saw him very rarely. It's a bit my mother's fault , who didn't encourage me to meet him. This is another lesson I learned through her negative attitude : you can and should , as a mother , to ensure that our children remain in contact with their father after separation. Marie Claire : You have suffered? Natalia Vodianova : Not when I was a child more now . I wish it had been different , because I 'm sure my father would have brought me things I miss today. For example, I really do not understand men. My first marriage failed because I did not know how to choose the person I needed. This is the kind of thing you learn with you father as a little girl . In this I had a more difficult path than other women, who grew up with their father . Marie Claire: For you, what is the ideal man ? Natalia Vodianova : The one I love today because he knows that for a relationship to work you must both respect each other and understand each other , or at least , to do your best . It is very important for a man to accept his feminine side . When he is not afraid to express their emotions and learn to listen to the woman he loves , he is likely to become a generous heart and a good father. Everything a woman can dream! Marie Claire: What are you trying to teach Lucas, Neva and Viktor , your three children ? Natalia Vodianova : Nothing special . All I can do is guide them, but they taught me a lot. I have a very different than most people vision of education: I think a child is born with a lot of knowledge about himself , what he wants and what he needs. Obviously, I would like to send them my philosophy of life , but simply used as a model , not dictating their principles . For example, I take them to visit orphanages : I know this is difficult and they are not places where children usually takes , but it is important for them to be faced with another reality. Marie Claire : You're very involved in humanitarian causes. Is this also a way to accomplish yourself ? Natalia Vodianova : I can not underestimate this aspect . Helping others without consideration brings immense gratification, and this feeling fills me with happiness. Marie Claire: What do you do exactely with your foundation Naked Heart? Natalia Vodianova : In Russia , we build playgrounds for children from poor neighborhoods. For two years, we have started a new program for children with disabilities . Today, 70 % of children born with a mental handicap in Russia are abandoned by their families because there is no adapted medical or psychological, or educational system . We opened a first support center for families, in Nizhny Novgorod , and summer camps for children and their relatives. Our action is even more important since Americans no longer have the right to adopt Russian children . The United States was the first country where mentally handicapped children were adopted from Russia . I want our country to understand that the work charities like mine do should be supported. Marie Claire: What is the force that pushes you forward? Natalia Vodianova : My past and the lessons that I draw . I faced the evil in my country , whether in society or in some very harmful people. Have been facing all this is a strength, because it allows you to see the truth in the face of wanting to act to change things . Marie Claire: Would you say that the old fruit salesgirl got lucky, or do you believe in destiny? Natalia Vodianova : I believe in luck, to some extent, but I also got there because I made ​​the right choice. And I can not call it destiny. I think we build our existence by making the right decisions. But our bad choices shape too. It is by learning from mistakes that you can really accomplish yourself . Mistakes give us good lessons and make us stronger . by FabriceGaignault

So I finally watched the show, if I had to sum it up in one word, it was rather boring. It's not even that the models were bad or the outfits, honestly, I found them overall good this year, with the exception of the Pink segment, but I don't know, the ambiance felt a bit unexciting. It was like a concert with nameless girls walking around in lingerie. Even the little sequences between the segments were dull. The "Shipwrecked" sequence was kinda funny but other than that ? Alright, we're sorry for Lais and her accident at last year's rehersal, but we already knew about it. And do we need th hear for the billionth time that VS is a great career boost for the models who do the show ? I wasn't interested in the social media thing at all, especially if it's just a pretext to see Cara doing her "funny faces" and the Paris city of lights thing, yeah, we know, Paris is a beautiful city. Overall I'll give it 5/10 because the outfits were good but not more because the TV show in itself was dull.

I don't think this has been posted yet. Water Girl L'Equipe Sport&Style 7 Décembre 2013 ph: Mathieu César

The social network : while I really enjoyed the film, I don't understand why so many critics said this film was a quasi-masterpiece. It's a good film but not an amazing film.
