Marina Foïs Revisits Brother’s Death in ‘Sept à Huit’ Interview

Her remarks coincide with promotion for Diane Kurys’ film Moi qui t’aimais ahead of its October 1 release.

Overview

  • In TF1’s Sept à Huit on Sunday, the actor reflected on her brother Fabio’s death in a light-aircraft accident.
  • She said she was 29 at the time and he 32, calling the grief “very particular” because it reshaped her childhood memories.
  • She described feeling “abandoned” by his sudden absence and avoided returning to Italy for about ten years.
  • She stated she is not religious and sees death as final, speaking of mourning in terms of absence rather than an afterlife.
  • She credited family, steady work, and meeting director Éric Lartigau shortly before the tragedy with helping her recover, as she now promotes Moi qui t’aimais by Diane Kurys for an October 1 theatrical debut.
