What a wonderful interview! It’s so refreshing to see Meryl being asked truly intelligent questions. Bringing up Callas and playing that clip for her to comment on Callas’s artistry was an exquisite way to honor Meryl. I only wish talk-show hosts in US media were able to treat Meryl (and us as an audience) to such an intelligent, thoughtful kind of conversation. The questions they tossed up are so trivial and mindless one even wonders why they even bother to interview artists of Meryl’s stature. Kudos to French TV for still having this kind of talk shows.

A great interview though (or because ) they didn’t speak much about the film. So the presenter asked various questions about her vision of the profession of acting and the world of art. Very refreshing interview.
As for the Callas part, they played it because they knew she was Meryl’s favourite singer and they asked her why she is so touched when she listens to her.

Hello I’m French and watched it sunday night, the Maria Callas Clip was there because the interviewer wanted Meryl to talk about women’s work in general and then her admiration of Callas
