Same here, I've been wondering why there's so little about her life on the internet, I still watch Rapture often, now that its back on you tube, I did buy a blue ray cd but I don't have a blue ray player yet, bought Sundays and Cybele (tape and cd but cd didnt have subtiles and managed to break it) and I watch it often. I was a freshman in college in 1964 and my art teacher recomender watching Sundays and Cybelle) I never forgot it and at the time a friend of mine told me the meaning of the film which I don't agree with...it was a beautiful relationship , Pierre never did anything improper. I'm so glad Patricia gave an interview...I've wondered why she gave up acting but said to myself that she probably had a happier normal life.
For some reason, by the time Patricia Gozzi acted in Rapture, directed by my husband, John Guillermin, when she was fourteen and a half, she absolutely hated acting! Many times, my husband told me, she would run away before filming was set to begin and hide in the caves. The whole crew would be sent out to scour the caves all along the Breton coast and bring her back for filming. My husband told me that her mother was a typical "stage mother" and perhaps it was this that changed Patricia's attitude to acting. John said she was the best natural actress he ever had the privilege of working with. She made one more film, when she was about 17 and then left acting to get married. And about watching Rapture in one of the beautiful new releases, such excellent prints, a Britsh company put out a DVD version a few years ago and multi-region players are really cheap. I think mine cost about $30 from Amazon, I believe.
@@maryguillermin6747, so she was 14 and Dean Stockwell was more than twice her age. Is it possible the love scenes made her uncomfortable and that's the reason she ran away? (Hiding in the caves seems like such an immature thing to do.) I'm aware the French are somewhat less inhibited in many ways than Americans, but I though about it while watching the film for the first time on TV today.
@@maryguillermin6747 l love your comment. Sho rich in detail and anecdote. Your husband did a fine job with Rapture. I just chanced upon the film on cable without a clue as to is nature. The cinematography and dialogue instantly impressed me immediately, and then of course Patricia was a sheer force of nature. I am grateful for everyone's efforts in the film.
It's really amazing. for the first time I've been able to see an interview of Patrica Gozzi. I really do hope she will give more interviews.Particularly for her 1965 movie Raptue.
I watched Rapture for the first time today and I liked it very much. I was impressed with the beautiful little girl and her acting and wanted to know more about her. Sometimes if I'm impressed with a character in a movie, I want to know more about them lol! I was familiar with Dean Stockwell but I wondered if the little girl who starred in the film was still alive. I googled her name and it brought up a couple films. Glad to see that she was still alive and well. Her acting roles in films were limited I see and I wondered why because she was just so talented, so believable. I found this interview and now I know a little bit more about her. Patricia Gozzi. Not a name I was familiar with but seems her real life was just as impressive lol! Thanks for posting this. 😊
I saw the film Sundays and Cybele in December 1962, when it came out, and found it extremely moving, and finally, as the tragedy of a man grossly misinterpreted unfolded, heart-breaking. In around 2005 I rang the National Film Theatre to ask if they would show it, but the woman I spoke to, after finding out about its contents, rang me back and said "we wouldn't show a film like that". I was appalled by such censorship, as if it were her business to dictate what people should or should not see. Patricia Gozzi says at 4 minutes, "Hardy and I didn't need to speak". Both were born on 12 April, Hardy Krüger 1928, Patricia Gozzi 1950: perfect accord. In March 1945, Hardy Krüger, then only 16, was conscripted into the 38th SS Division Nibelungen where he was drawn into heavy fighting. The 16-year-old Krüger was ordered to kill a group of American soldiers. When he refused, he was sentenced to death for cowardice, but another SS officer stopped the order. Krüger described this experience as his break with Nazism. He afterwards served as a messenger for the SS, but later escaped and hid out in Tyrol until the end of the war. He is today a member of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation and frequently speaks out against extremism and for democracy, also citing his own experiences.
I totally agree with you about the condescending odiousness of the National Film Theatre's response to your suggestion. On the other hand, I've just watched 'Rapture' - a film with the characters played by Gozzi and Dean Stockwell involved in a love affair - and have just worked out that Gozzi was fifteen years old and Stockwell, 29. Having a seventeen year old daughter, I'm not sure how I feel about that at all.
Dear Sebastian Verney, thank you for your interesting and important comment. In France, in the early 1960s, extraordinary films were made about friendship and love that went against stereotypes. At the same time, there was no vulgarity in these films, unlike modern cinema, where frankly pornographic scenes are shown and no one, for some reason, censors them. As for 'Sundays and Cybele', I tried to watch this movie ten years ago and found it pretentious and boring. Within ten years my life has changed a lot and my outlook has changed. Now I watch this film simply, ‘as is’: on charming characters, on their touching friendship. And now I can repeat the words of the painter from the film that I would wish everyone such friendship and such simple and innocent children's love. Perhaps this is what true love should be. And this is exactly how people should spend their free time: just walking in the park, running and playing like children. This is happiness. In addition, I note that this is actually the only feature film by Serge Bourguignon. In addition, this is his author's film, where he is also a screenwriter. Interesting fact. Serge Bourguignon zodiac sign Virgo. Virgos have a specific view of the world. This is reflected in their acting (Mickey Rourke, Keanu Reeves), in their cinematography and in their melancholic music (Jean-Michel Jarre). By the way, in this film, the composer is Maurice Jarre, the father of Jean-Michel Jarre, and both of them are also Virgos. Those are some weird coincidences. In Italian, Virgo is called like ‘Sinless’. * I wonder how the fate of Patricia Gozzi turned out. If she has children. Patricia says that her mother gave her along with her older sister to an orphanage. Perhaps this happened due to difficult life circumstances. But the fact that Patricia grew up in an orphanage is evident in the film 'Sundays and Cybele'. By her manners. And in her huge sad eyes.
@@autumman .. Thank you very much for commenting. It's so important for me to engage in serious conversations with people, so I am pleased that someone had replied to a comment I left a year ago. Yes, I was acutely aware that Serge Bourguignon is a Virgo. Like me, he is Sun Virgo, Ascendant Sagittarius, Mars Gemini. His Virgo purity shines in the purity of the film. I have been working on a study of Zodiac signs for 30 years and could quote streams of anecdotes about Virgos, always with this imperative for purity, for example artists like Ingres, Caspar David Friedrich, Jean Arp, Carl Andre and so on. Thanks for telling me about the Jarres, pere et fils. And that the Italians say "sinless". There are, of course, exceptions, but, as they say, the exception proves the rule.
@@sebastianverney7851 I am very glad that my modest comment has become interesting and important for someone. Serious conversations is also important to me. Now this is a rarity. Especially on a site like UA-cam. Do you know what song Cybele sings? I know this tune, but I can't remember the title...
@@autumman .. Some friends deplore “the social media”, saying it’s not “real life” and so on. To which I reply, any medium is only a medium, and you can use it in any way you want, “real life” included: to post illiterate rudenss and prejudice, as 90% of people do (welcome to the human race); or for something more worthwhile. I don’t know the song Cybele sings, I’m afraid. I saw the film at the Hampstead Playhouse in 1962 when I was 17! That’s why I asked the NFT to show it again in 2005, a request that was rejected by the woman on the other end of the phone, as “not a film we would want to show” (echoes of Orwell’s Thought Police).
Awesome! I've been hoping someone would upload this interview from the recent Criterion release as so little info has been available for Patricia since the Seventies so this extremely rare interview is a real treat. Thanks for uploading.
¡Increíble! Finalmente, después de tantos años de estar averiguando en todos los lugares, he podido ver como luce hoy en día aquella extraordinaria actriz que, inexplicablemente, y al mejor estilo de Greta Garbo, desapareció después de haber interpretado magistralmente Rapture. Los amantes del buen cine, por años hemos sido testigos, en todos los sitios de referencia cinematográfica, de los cientos (tal vez miles) que preguntaban: ¿Qué fue de Patricia Gozzi? Esta entrevista nos despeja parte de la incógnita. Luego de haberse desempeñado con tal maestría en Rapture, bajo la acertada dirección y fotografía de John Guillermin en 1965, su próxima y última película, Hung up (1973), tuvo una pésima dirección de Édouard Luntz quien por coincidencia también fue la última que dirigió. Dudamos que el fracaso de taquilla de esta producción, haya sido motivo para que Patricia Gozzi hubiera decidido retirarse. Su calidad como actriz innata había sido demostrada desde niña con León Morin Priest (1961), y posteriormente en Les diamanches de Ville d´avray (AKA Sundays and Cybele) un año después en 1962, y que fue el motivo de la entrevista. La otra parte de la incógnita, ¿por qué decidiste retirarte?, aún queda sin responder. Lo que sí nos queda claro, como muestra en la entrevista, es que el encanto de la niña de las dos primeras películas, y de la adolescente de Rapture, se mantiene en la actualidad. Esta vez en la belleza madura de una Patricia Gozzi esplendorosa. Es una lástima que esta entrevista no se hubiera adicionado como una de las extras que tanta falta hicieron en la reedición de Rapture en Bluray en 2011, limitada solamente a 3,000 copias de esta obra de arte.
First "foreign" film I saw at age 17. Since it was an acclaimed art film at the time I paid strict attention. Had some uneasiness due to the more intimate moments between Kruger and the innocent girl, and I never forgot the film. Poetic, cool, sensual, a viewing for first term psychological students.
@@eschaton8758 Well, since, at that age, my mind was still colliding with societies common attitudes, and I just felt that way, also don't you think the director was hoping for an edgy feel?
sundays and cybele is great, wonderfully filmed and acted, but such an unsettling movie as you wait for something pedobearbad to happen, but it never does. the only other movie that felt like that was napoleon dynamite, where you thought for sure something awful is coming, especially with uncle rico, but it never does and its just a sweet, oddball movie too.
Étrangement, Patricia parle de ses rapports avec Hardy dans ce film comme étant amicaux quand celui-ci affirme qu'elle était amoureuse de lui : ua-cam.com/video/pQEOF0227iE/v-deo.html
Ce film m'a bouleversé si bien que je le connais par cœur. Tellement heureux d'être tombé sur cette belle entrevue. Merci.
She was outstanding in this film, but it was her performance in 'Rapture' that totally mesmerized me and blew me away.
Thanks for uploading. There is precious little available on Patricia today. What a marvelous talent. I stumbled upon Rapture and was bowled over
sundays & cybele is pure poetry... tragic but absolutely beautiful!
She's still so beautiful!
What a charming woman

@@maryguillermin6747 THANK U INTO THAT INSITE..WATCHED LAST NIGHT FIRST TIME..COULD NOT BELIEVE SUCH NATURAL TALENT.
@@maryguillermin6747 That one more film was Hung Up, right? Sadly nothing seems to still exist on that film except a few production stills.
A child actor with this kind of talent is some kind of miracle. One of the greatest ever

On ne pourrait plus tourner un tel film aujourd'hui
I don’t know who’s this actress until one of my aunts told me to watch her movies because my daughter looks like her
I love her films even though she only really has two of them. I think she looks a bit like Lorraine Kelly now in this interview.
sundays and cybele is great, wonderfully filmed and acted, but such an unsettling movie as you wait for something pedobearbad to happen, but it never does. the only other movie that felt like that was napoleon dynamite, where you thought for sure something awful is coming, especially with uncle rico, but it never does and its just a sweet, oddball movie too.

If it was filmed the year the interview was released, she would have been in her mid-sixties, around 66, 67.
