" Sonia Benezra est dans le paysage culturel québécois depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans. Née à Montréal au sein d'une…
famille d'immigrants juifs marocains, la reine de TQS, couronnée par quatre MetroStar et trois Gémeaux, a emprunté divers chemins : des études de théâtre à la chanson, en passant par des milliers de rencontres et d'interviews, certaines routes se sont fermées et d'autres se sont ouvertes, faisant grandir celle qu'on croit connaître. À travers ses amours, ses blessures et son clan familial tissé serré, la femme se révèle un peu plus. Dans Sonia Benezra - Je ne regrette presque rien, on découvre une personne sensible qui a parfois été déçue par la tournure des événements, mais qui adhère totalement à ce qu'a dit Maya Angelou : "J'ai appris que les gens oublieront ce que vous avez dit, ils oublieront ce que vous avez fait, mais ils n'oublieront jamais ce que vous leur avez fait ressentir.

Mais le cinéma la rattrape, et Stephen Frears, Francis Ford Coppola, Woody Allen, Wes Anderson vont lui offrir des rôles qui la conduiront au sommet d'Hollywood. C'est là qu'elle rencontre Jack Nicholson, avec qui elle va former un couple de légende. Dans Suivez mon regard, Anjelica Huston revient sans détour sur ses amours et sa carrière.
