Making the actors look like the people they play required some sacrifice: actress Elsa Silberstein gained 18 pounds for the role and spent weeks trying to imitate Simone Veil’s speech; actress Rebecca Marder listened to Veil’s speeches for two hours a day for 5-6 months and watched many of them. archive footage, and her nose, cheeks, and eyebrow arches had a lot of makeup and prosthetics; actor Olivier Gourmand had to endure five hours of makeup every morning before filming. Les Roses Blanches Music by Léon Raiter Words by Charles L. Pothier. It’s always difficult to make a film about someone who has done so much for humanity in every way, so to do it in 2 hours and 20 minutes is a real challenge. The film is not perfect, there are many things that could have been better, but it is still worth watching. There are some really beautiful parts to it. It is a rollercoaster of emotions and history. Knowing Veil’s story, which is an endless inspiration, this film showed some very beautiful and unique moments of her life. It was a mix of hope and melancholy, but at times a little overplayed and staged. The film shows such a strong and intelligent person at his most vulnerable moments. The camera is also very intense at times and the attention to lighting is not bad either. .
