Clipping: Belle

"Natalia 'la Belle'

We will see her at the cinema in a dramatic love story. But Natalia Vodianova's heart is devoted above all to her children

Glenio Bonder has just recently finished directing her on set also in Italy, in Stresa and Camogli, and he defines her as ‘virginal’, a professional with enormous potential.

‘Purity’ is the term that he uses to describe her beauty. A characteristic that, bringing her close to the protagonist of the novel by Albert Cohen Belle du Seigneur, on which the homonymous film is based, the reason why the director chose her for that role.

But she, Natalia Vodianova, 29 years old, behind her apparent fragility, conceals great determination and awareness of each one of her words and gestures.

As demonstrated, for example, by her commitment in favor of children in her native country, Russia, a cause she dedicates herself to through The Naked Heart, the organization she founded after the dramatic Beslan school siege, in 2004, that cost the lives of almost 100 children.
