Jean-Pierre Bacri passed away on January 18, 2021
"Grumpy with a big heart", he will have marked French cinema
We asked our internet users what memories they kept of the actor
His sincere and tongue-in-cheek side marked them
One more light that goes out.
Over the years, Jean-Pierre Bacri will have marked French cinema and, inevitably, its spectators.
Inimitable by his character and his "grumpy" appearance, he leaves behind a host of good memories, from dark rooms to Sunday evening family reunions.
Our Internet users, like many, were not insensitive to this disappearance, while the actor was only 69 years old.
They pay him a last tribute.
"A remarkable and whole man"
It is almost obvious, but what you will remember the most when you think of Jean-Pierre Bacri is his sincerity, his “no pretense” side.
Michèle remembers it with nostalgia: “He played real, grumpy and sincere, a great comic for me, he made me laugh.
Monsieur Bacri was an artist, his playing was unique.
»She asserts.
A man without concession, but more subtle than a simple "grumpy" of the cinema, tempers Pascale: "I really liked his role of grumpy and, at the same time, of the nice uncle in the film
La Baule-Les- Pins
… He was a remarkable and whole man.
Admirable.
"
This duality, this “false villain” and “deadpan” side was the actor's signature, and for Laurent, this is what set him apart from the others: “Jean-Pierre Bacri leaves us a tone and intonations of sentences that belong only to him and which have now passed into our daily culture.
This style and the indelible mark it will leave in our memories are the most beautiful tribute we can pay to an artist.
"On this unique way of playing, Hubert completes:" Few actors in France and in the world have been able to sparkle by their use of a physique, a phrasing, a movement of the body in front of the camera.
In short, Mr. Bacri played with his mastery as an actor, by taking risks in his various roles.
"
Sweet melancholy
If he is so appreciated, it is also because Bacri spoke, and will continue to speak to everyone, as Emmanuel underlines: “For me Jean-Pierre Bacri will remain a popular actor, in the sense of one who does a little part of the family.
He had no equal in playing characters with nuances, touching by their humanity, which means that you can't help but think that he must be like that in life.
A whole type, generous, angry and human.
What a man.
What an actor!
For me it will remain
Summer on a gentle slope
, a too little known film with Villeret,
A family
resemblance of course, and above all
The taste of others
, a huge film.
With her prolific career, there would be plenty to do with many stills to try and keep an eternal portrait of Jean-Pierre Bacri, but the description that Cathy offered us seems to suit us perfectly: "An elegant sadness, a small smirk and his particular phrasing.
