Your first memory of cinema? 

"

Tarzan

! It was at Castel-Sarrazin in the 'Vox' room. We went to the 'Vox' or the 'Florida', there were two cinemas. And either it was Charlot, or it was Tarzan, or Laurel and Hardy It was really a party every time Daddy told me we were going: he had a cafe at the time always full of customers, and to kick the whole room to go to the movies once a month It was a terrible deal! But Dad loved movies too and

Tarzan

was the absolute dream. "

Your best memory of cinema? 

“

The Children of Heaven

. There is everything: Prévert, Carné, the wonderful actors… I think it's one of the greatest successes in cinema. I saw it in theaters in Paris, a long time ago now. I must have gone to see him three or four times in a row. "

Your worst memory of cinema? 

“One day, I went with my little brother, and we saw

François 1er

with Fernandel. There is a scene where Fernandel is being tortured: he gets his feet tickled, it's a hilarious scene! And my little brother who must have been five or six had a terrible fit, because he thought that poor Fernandel was really being tortured, and I had to take him out of the room because he was crying. , who laughed, scrutinized me as if I was responsible for this kid who kept crying. He didn't understand, he was too small, of course. But he got over it. "

"That's a bit of the trick question. I would have liked to live in

And in the middle of a river

. It's got everything I love about it: the fishing, the river, the environment, Redford who is an actor essential… I would have been quite at my ease in this universe. "

The film that you like, without being able to admit it? 

"I'm not ashamed of myself. One of the best films in the new ones is Dolan,

Just the End of the World

. I think it's a great achievement, a great lesson about society, about what "We're living. Among the most recent, he's one of those that struck me the most. You can cry without shame in front of this kid who made a film with incredible maturity. He's a pure man. diamond."

The soundtrack that has marked your life the most?

"The music of

The train will whistle three times

. It marked me, it jumped in my ear. I must have been 14, I was in a movie theater ... Very early on I had a notebook, a pen with me. I remember in the darkness, the darkness of the room, trying to find the light at the end of the row to make my staff, and I immediately wrote: sol do ré mi do fa mi re do ".
