Many, many years ago, I watched some footage in black & white of a
European actress, acting out a scene, again and again. I think it was
on The Film Programme. This is a long shot, but it was an
extraordinary scene of the actress getting truely lost in her role. It
may jolt someone's memory;

Norman was not showing a piece of finished, promotional material, or
clip. It was someone at work, under direction, and there were several
takes involved. (Did the Film Programme show this kind of thing?)
There was a scene in a kitchen, and the actress was backwards and
forwards, in some kind of domestic row. Someone with Jeanne Moreau's
fire and temperament maybe? She was so lost in the part, that a door
she had to furiously fling open, she repeatedly mistook, and each time
went for a door that was just a cupboard,I think, or the wrong one.
There must have been two adjacent doors. It was an extraordinary
scene, primarily one of someone who drove herself. There were tears I
remember, and she was possibly consoled by a sympathetic director.
Eventually she may have got the take, I can't remember!

I would appreciate any help or pointers. It could've been
France,Italy, probably not Spain, at that time.

Thanks
