Marina Tsvetaeva has taken the subject of Assurance sur la vie and Le chinois from Russian emigration common experience. Dominique Sanda is one of Marina Tsvetaeva's ardent admirers. There is an agreement, a connivance between the author's thought and the actress' concern (cassette-book jacket). Dominique Sanda “reads” Marina Tsvetaeva and as we are listening, a miracle occurs: we have the very selfish feeling that we are tête-à-tête with her. Of course she tells us two brilliant, smart, proud, short stories, written by the Russian poetess, in a fluent French translation, but we cannot forget that this music was composed by the actress herself, and she plays it for us. (M.J. Le Quotidien de Paris, 6/8/1992)
Published in 1961, the novel describes old people's search and yearning for pleasure. Dominique Sanda surpasses everyone in transmitting all the subtlety of such a story while keeping a tactful restraint, that allows her to speak on just about any topic. (Cassette-book jacket)
Fascist Italy of 1933: characters escaped from a “tragedia dell’arte”, but far from weird clichés of a caricatural Rome, live, survive and die in a heavy climate where one can sense the disastrous storm of imminent repression and war. The Denarius, a ten-lira coin, circulating from hand to hand, spins a web, both vital and fortuitous, between those people who sink into their passions and solitude. Dominique Sanda touchingly lends her voice to this novel where the narrator alternately exits with modesty or intimately vibrates with the characters. (Audi-book jacket, Auvidis Editor, 1987)
