Moreau has told interviewers that the characters she played were not her.
In a review of Clothes in the Wardrobe (1992) (TV) Ebert wrote: "Jeanne Moreau has been a treasure of the movies for 35 years...Here, playing a flamboyant woman who nevertheless keeps her real thoughts closely guarded, she brings about a final scene of poetic justice as perfect as it is unexpected".
Moreau made her debut as a director in Lumière (1976) -- also writing the script and playing Sarah, an actress the same age as Moreau whose romances are often with directors for the duration of making a film.

Far from being a conventional screen beauty, Moreau, in repose, might look tired, haggard, almost witchlike, but when she smiled, she lost years and cares and became Circe the Enchantress, outdazzling the sun.
