Thanks to Lara`s fan from Finland>
this is interview from 2001:
Sam Taylor-Wood:
“Lara Belmont rose to the challenge of starring in `The War Zone’, her first film, with strength and vulnerability. What I saw on the screen was someone who had not been trained in any way. Who was totally open and natural. I’m looking forward to seeing a lot more of her on the big screen.”
LARA BELMONT
