And we can say that the actress always surprises us during her interviews. We learn that in her selection, she loves Stanley Kubrick's filmography because she claims that Barry Lindon is part of her selection and Paris Texas directed by Wim Wenders, which won the Palme d'Or in 1984, is a production that she also likes. But it's her other two choices that are surprising because they are French. She cites in particular The Passion of Joan of Arc, directed by the Danish Carl Theodor Dreyer in 1928 and highlights the “absolutely crazy” performance of its lead actress Maria Falconetti. Jenna Ortega does not hide her dream of one day playing this French historical character. Finally, her latest favorite film is none other than a film directed by Mathieu Kassovitz with Vincent Cassel who plays his first role: La Haine.
