From IndieWire - No doubt she was inspired to meet with him after seeing Rampling in Under the Sand - is this an auteur-actrice pairing you'd like to see? 
Do actresses come to you, begging for you to write for them?
Julianne Moore. Julianne Moore came to France and said that she wanted to work with me. So I was very proud I had to meet her one day. It’s quite difficult, the feeling that it’s the end. In France there is a real pleasure to make movies about women—and very often it’s films that could be successful. I think my first experience was “Under the Sand” with Charlotte Rampling. It was quite strange because when we financed the film it was a nightmare. Nobody wanted to put money on the film, everyone said that Charlotte Rampling was over. It’s a film about mourning. It interested no one. When the film was released it was a big success.
