Hardtalk

Irene Jacob is described as one of the darlings of European cinema. Voted best actress at Cannes at the age of 25, now just for a short time she belongs to London. She is starring alongside Macaulay Culkin in the West End play Madame Melville - story of a French teacher of literature who seduces a 15-year-old American boy. She talks to Tim Sebastian about her films, the roles she wants, and the ones she turned down.
