Margaret Qualley actor

“I’ll start with Beau travail, which is a Claire Denis film. And I love my girl Claire. And I specifically love this one ’cause of a last dance sequence, which has– I don’t know if I ever say his name right, but Denis Lavant, who I’m, like, obsessed with. Anyway, Beau travail.”

Margaret Qualley
