Patricia Mazuy, director of La prisonnière de Bordeaux, is forceful and doesn’t ask for forgiveness. She welcomes us with a demeanor that is both friendly and skeptical, as we try to unravel who the prisoner of Bordeaux in the title is. She speaks to us about the two leading characters, the great Isabelle Huppert and Hafsia Herzi, and firmly addresses each question we ask, questioning preconceived ideas about her cinema and declaring war on conventions.
