I haven’t seen the film yet, but Sylvie Testud is apparently delivering a stunning performance in the biopic about Françoise Sagan. The same can be said of the special effects people at nomanslandfx who created this superior mask of an elderly Françoise Sagan:

The making-up in gel of silicone of Françoise Sagan, accomplished on Sylvie Testud, consisted of a prosthesis for the neck and both cheeks, one for the lower lip, another one for the upper lip, and contact lenses to change eye colour. We needed four hours to complete the pose.

France24 has some clips from the film (with English subtitles) and an interview with Sylvie Testud (dubbed in English):
