Catherine Deneuve & A Former Neighbour

Catherine Deneuve

I've always had a thing for the ice cool gallic blonde. I've seem many of her films and loved her collaborations with Malcolm McLaren. Delighted then, when in a Novel Idea I came across Close Up & Personal, a translation of film diaries which she kept whilst on set during a career that has spanned more than 40 years.

Powered through the diaries, loved the photos and thought briefly about Patrick Doyle. He used to be a neighbour of mine in Glasgow when I lived in Kirklee Quadrant. He worked on a number of her films, producing soundtracks for East-West in 1998 and Indochine in 1992.
 
He's a world class composer, charming and great fun. One New Year was spent in his company with his family, twas a hoot!
