OK, I have not gone THAT far, where a "fan" is a true "fanatic" in the original sense... My fandom extended more to directors than actors, I would repeatedly watch their movies and try to collect their entire filmography and read multiple critical studies of their work as well as biographies. This predates ready home access to the Internet so the pictures and interviews were limited to books or magazines that I bought or that I found in a library. (No, I did not do a Jake Gittes and cough loudly while tearing a page out... but I did use library photocopiers.) Traveling thousands of miles for an autograph was out of the question. Since a number of the directors were dead before I even discovered their work (and actor Bogart before I was born), an autograph was impossible! At least I became aware of Akira Kurosawa while he was still alive but I was not about to fly to Japan and knock on his door. I would not have put up a poster portrait of him on my wall and cooed "Oooh, he is so DREAMY!" while lying on my bed, because that was not what interested me about his movies. Decades of collecting his (available, not lost) movies on home media allowed me to start over and re-watch his entire filmography in chronological order. Is that obsessive enough to be considered a real fan?

Of course, you are a fan of his filmography and creativity, but not a fan of love (for the person) as a person, I am also not a fan of love, - I did not paste the room with posters, if I like very much an actor or singer and did not go 1000 kilometers away to get an autograph or just to his concert

Yeah well I can admit to some delusional thinking on my part just in general in my life, but not quite to the extent of being in loooooove with a complete stranger who is not even aware of my existence. Well not anymore anyway... Maybe Princess Leia when I was young...

I think I was just using "fan" in a milder sense, not implying any sort of irrational obsessiveness. I figure that if I like an actress enough that I try to see as many of her movies as I can, then I am a fan. I would not be some sort of crazy stalker just because I consider myself a fan. But in some imaginary scenario where somehow I might meet her, I would probably be dorky and gush embarrassingly about how much I enjoy her work. "Oh, how sweet, thank you" and her refrigerator-sized bodyguard walks closer...

The bottom line is that there are different types of fans, some are completely obsessed that they are ready to jump off a bridge for the sake of their idol (it's a disease I think), I remember the movie Der Fan (1982), where she kills her idol because of jealousy . Other fans , just follows the activities and filmography, watch movies and don't panic

An excerpt from the autobiographical book 'Dire vrai' released this year, in which Isild talks about her experience during the filming of La Puce and Sade, was recently published on SC.

La Puce
Sade


Dire vrai

Yes “La Puce” is the most explicit movie in her early filmography (a bed scene with a grown man) - has drawn a lot of negative critics

Imagine if La Puce had gone as far as „Beau Pere“ or „a nos amour“ in terms of nudity..

It'd probably be a banned movie, but there's no full nudity

Yes, and I want to say that for a year she changed a lot in the movie La Puce (1999), she is more slender, beautiful was, then after watching the movie. Les filles ne savent pas nager (2000) - she put on weight, butt more, breasts more (she's become a real lady)

Isild was 14 years old during the filming of 'La Puce'.
The filming of 'Les filles ne savent pas nager' began in September 1999, when Isild was almost 17.
In short, there are more than two years between the filming of the two movies.
