The film, which was written and directed by Jean-Marc Vallee and screened at September's Toronto Film Festival, consists of two suspenseful, psychological charged, musically intertwined love triangles: one between a man, his adored wife and his new soul mate and the other between a poor young mother, her Down syndrome child and his first crush.
Vallee -- who had Paradis high on his wish list of actresses, which included Marion Cotillard, Audrey Tautou and Charlotte Gainsbourg -- told Fash Track last week that Paradis wore absolutely no makeup for the entire film. To top it off, her gorgeous hair was dyed a mousey brown.
Of her deglamming, Paradis admits : "It was interesting for everyone to see me like that. It was not even in my mind that I'm going to look so ugly. i wasn't there to be glamorous, and that's what doing a movie is about, to step into someone else's life. It was about being this mom and doing a good job."
