of Charlie Chaplin

Your first memory of cinema?
I would say it's
The King and the Bird
.
It's a very beautiful film that I can't wait to show my children myself.
It had both disturbed and transported me, and I never found this poetry to this point.
Sometimes I like to watch him, like a true Madeleine de Proust.
It still bothers me, but I like how it bothers.
Sometimes you shouldn't hesitate to show children things that aren't necessarily all smooth, things that ask questions.
Your best memory of cinema?
I think this is the
infernal Montparnasse Tower
.
This is the first time that I had the right to go to the cinema with friends, I was 11 years old and I was really on the ground, in PLS of laughing, so much the film had electrified us.
Which movie would you like to live in?
Bruce, almighty
.
And I would like to be Bruce.

Which movie have you seen the most?
There are quite a few.
I think there's
The Truman Show
and
Charlie Chaplin's
The Dictator
, in very different styles.
What masterpiece you hated the most?
The young ladies of Rochefort
.
It's very personal, it doesn't deserve.
The movie that made you laugh the most?
There was the
infernal Montparnasse Tower
, then
Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra
by Alain Chabat.
For references, and then because I saw it exactly at the right time.
This is exactly what I wanted and what I always want.
I still find it an ultra controlled film, very funny.
A dialogue from cinema that you know by heart?
There is few of it.
I forget pretty quickly, but there are very short dialogues that I still know by heart in
The City of Fear
.
Me, I like "Are we not expecting your sister?"
by Dominique Farrugia.
I think he's the one saying that at the airport (
in fact, it's Alain Chabat, editor's note
), and it makes me laugh a lot.
The soundtrack that has marked your life the most?
That of
Interstellar,
Hans Zimmer.
I love it, I find it magnificent, ultra hovering.
I listen to it often.
