Your first memory of cinema?
It's
Le Boss
u, with Jean Marais.
I was raised by my grandparents and they loved swashbuckling movies.
Me, I was not crazy, but suddenly I saw them.
I discovered films from the 70's and 80's with a very good friend, and I was relieved to get rid of the swashbuckling films, I wasn't so interested in it.
I found it entertaining, it was part of my culture, but I felt that I didn't have the same fit as when I discovered films at 14.
Your best memory in the dining room?
I went there with my grandmother one day.
I was sick and she had come to wake me up to go to school.
I told her 'I'm sick, I'm tired, I don't want to go to school today, wouldn't you two go to the movies this afternoon?' She Said 'okay, go back to sleep' and we went to see
Tootsie
.
It was skipping school with my grandmother to go see
Tootsie
and it's a memory that is very happy in my head.
Your craziest movie screening?
It is in adolescence.
I've seen
Apocalypse Now
three times
with three different guys and never got to see the movie because as a teenager going to the movies was a chance to roll your spades during the whole shoot.
I saw it years later on television because I never managed to see it in the movies.
Which movie have you seen the most?
It's one of my favorite movies:
Elephant Man
, by David Lynch.
It's a film that overwhelms me, that ravages me, that pleases me.
I like the aesthetics of the film, what it says.
I have a closeness to this incredible film.
The movie you love and are ashamed to love?
There is no movie that I love but ashamed to love.
I assume to like the big American potacheries.
Les Rois du Patins
,
Get Him To the Greek
... I love it and I am not at all ashamed.
On the contrary, I warmly recommend them.
Which movie would you recommend to your best friend?
I would have a little list.
La Chasse
,
Royal Affair
,
Get Him To the Greek
,
Fanny and Alexandre
... And above all,
Lack of Love
, an extremely violent sublime film, with a suppressed violence, deaf, but this film I liked so much .
I find it to be a masterpiece.
Which film would you recommend to your worst enemy?
I would recommend
The Pillow Book
, which lasts 4h50, which is incomprehensible, and where the actors all play worse than each other.
It's one of the worst nightmares of my life, yet I love Peter Greenaway.
The soundtrack that has marked your life the most?
I love all of Tarantino's soundtracks.
He arrived in the cinema having such interesting soundtracks, great.
He was for me the precursor of good soundtrack with a very good groove.
In
Reservoir Dogs
, there was no music to throw away.
