At 37, Julie Delpy has stopped waiting for Hollywood to call.

And she’s stopped waiting for Paris or the rest of Europe to call, either. The French actress, a Hollywood transplant since the early ’90s, still spends a few months a year in her home city. But starring in such acclaimed films as Europa, Europa; Three Colors: White; and Before Sunrise didn’t guarantee her work there.

She became a screenwriter, earning a co-writing Oscar nomination for Before Sunset, the sequel to her romantic idyll Before Sunrise. She’s been directing. She even composes the scores to her films, making her “the most ambitious actress working today” (USA Today).

Back in Paris and scripting the life of a mass-murdering, oversexed Hungarian countess - while wondering why the poor voted for Sarkozy - the actress’s thoughts turn to living in London

Here I am at home and all I do is sit and write. When I read things about this Julie Delpy character - she writes, she acts, she sings -she sounds fabulous. As if she’s running around, doing exciting things, dressed in a tutu: ‘Ah, it’s Tuesday, I’m going to put on my tutu and dance around the apartment.’ So why do I feel my life is so boring? So why am I sitting here in front of this screen? And, sadly, not wearing a tutu.

The simple answer is that I’m trying to finish rewrites on the next film I’m scripting, The Countess. It’s about Elizabeth Bathory, sometimes called the Bloody Countess, born in the 16th century in Hungary. She’s thought to be a serial killer who killed lots of young girls. Even better, she tortured her young victims and sucked on their blood to preserve her youth. So evil and there’s the vampire connection, the sex… that’s the story, anyway.

With the title 2 Days in Paris, Julie Delpy’s film sounds like another lovely romance. Instead, it’s an acerbic, often-crude comedy that’s so harsh on France, senators may toast it with freedom fries (for David Edelstein’s take, click here). Delpy spoke with Logan Hill.

It is difficult to write about Julie Delpy’s career without rhapsodizing about the multi-talented Frenchwoman. At just 14, she got her breakthrough in Jean-Luc Godard’s Detective, and while still in her teens she worked with such celebrated European auteurs as Leos Carax, Bertrand Tavernier, Carlos Saura, Agnieszka Holland and Volker Schlöndorff. In the early 1990s, Delpy established herself as one of the most promising actresses around with her work in both arthouse successes (Krysztof Kie?lowski’s White and Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise) and more commercial fare like Killing Zoe and The Three Musketeers. But rather than trying to establish herself as a Hollywood A-lister, Delpy went to film school at NYU and studied directing. Since graduating, Delpy has written and directed three short films, earned an Academy Award nomination for her contribution to the Before Sunset screenplay and released an album of her own songs, all the while acting in at least one or two films per year.
