The French-Swiss actress Ella Rumpf received a César in Paris on Friday evening. The jury of the French film award honored Rumpf as Female Discovery of the Year for her role in the film "The Theorem of Marguerite".
This film is a Swiss co-production directed by Anna Novion. Rumpf was honored as Discovery of the Year for the second time. At the award ceremony, she thanked Novion for the trust and confidence she had shown for the role. She never thought she would be able to play it.
The 29-year-old Rumpf also paid tribute to the other actors in the film - Jean-Pierre Daroussin, Clotilde Courau and Julien Frison. "It was a pleasure to work with them," she said, moved to tears.
In "The Theorem of Marguerite", the actress, who lives in Zurich and Paris, plays a student who fails her dissertation presentation. In defiance, she quits everything and becomes a shoe saleswoman before discovering her talent for Mahjong. The actress was also selected in the "Best Actress" section of the next Swiss Film Awards.
Suzanne Jouannet, who can be seen in "La voie royale" by Valais director Frédéric Mermoud, was also among the César nominees for Discovery of the Year. Julien Frison was nominated in the "Newcomer Male" category, also in "The Theorem of Marguerite".
