Re: Pauline Acquart - Retenez Sa Nom
Perhaps we should not assume, simply because l'Acquart is such a star to us, that this status is acknowledged by the rest of the world - or, at least, not in any bankable or financial sense.
NdP, despite its rapturous critical reception, didn't do big box office [outside of France, anyway...?] and none of the smaller films since will have been big earners either. There is thus a distinct possibility that L'Acquart is as skint as any other student just finishing uni...although I hope not, it doesn't seem fair...and a bit of recycling, as per this pic, would then make sense.
I hasten to add that this is all pure speculation and supposition and probably bears no resemblance whatsoever to actual reality.
