"
The magnificent grumbler
" for
Le Parisien
, "
a grumbler, caustic and terribly endearing
", "
a popular misanthrope
" at
Le Figaro
.
"
My mouth is hungry, that's how it is,
" said Jean-Pierre Bacri in an interview dated 2011 to read or reread on the
World
site
.
The actor, screenwriter and playwright died yesterday from cancer at the age of 69.
He who was born in Algeria, he had "a
sense of affect
", it is certain, tells us
Humanity
.
He was "
a tender, irascible one,
" writes
La Croix.
And this is what made him "
a figure of French theater and cinema
" for
Le Monde
: "
he occupied a prominent place with the public for his roles of disillusioned but deeply human antiheroes
".
Yes it was a big one, appreciated by the profession as well.
Le Figaro
does the accounts: Jean-Pierre Bacri is “
five Césars, four for the best screenplay, one for the best supporting role
”.
A story of encounters
Jean-Pierre Bacri is also a story of encounters ...
A girl first, as often, to whom "
he wanted to please
", it is by following her that he pushed the doors of Cours Simon, we learn from
Liberation
.
But the most beautiful meeting, the "
woman of his life
" recalls
Le Figaro
, it is of course Agnès Jaoui.
Their paths crossed at the theater in 1986. “
One day, during rehearsals
,” said Jean-Pierre Bacri, “
she was cold, I lent her my large scarf.
She wrapped it around her neck, her nose was in it.
I had pleasure to see her like that…
”.
As we know it, Jean-Pierre Bacri will co-write 9 films with Agnès Jaoui.
His name is more widely attached to those in the middle, we read it in
Liberation
, in
l'Humanité
and in many other pages.
Its name was attached to that of Arcady, Resnais, d'Huppert, Marchand, Berri, Chabat, Besson, Klapisch and more recently Toledano and Nakache.
The list is very long, like that of his films and his plays.
Yes, it was a big one, but "
the public will not see it anymore
, concludes
Le Figaro
,
it's sad
".
The sadness of French students
Sadness, there is this morning in the Figaro, particularly that of French students.
“
The great depression of students”
, headlines the Journal en Une, just above - like an echo - the photo of Jean-Pierre Bacri.
But the problem of students, if they are "
in full spleen
", it is obviously because of the Covid-19, explains
Le Figaro
.
Some, like at the Cité Internationale in Paris, try to "
keep a social life
" by meeting in "
small committee
" at the library or for dinner.
But now,
"the pandemic condemns them to spend their lives behind a computer screen
."
Not even odd jobs.
“
On social networks, young people have nicknamed themselves ghosts
.
A young girl confided in a letter to Emmanuel Macron her impression of being dead,
”writes
Le Figaro
.
But here we are reassured, when they "
want to find a semblance of university life
, we read,
the government promises them psychologists
".
Comedians in middle and high schools
While some middle school and high school students are entitled to actors, to cheer them up.
And it is perhaps even more effective, who knows… "
Classrooms are the last stages of the performing arts
" poster
Liberation.
Actors, dancers and musicians, “
government constraints do not prohibit performances in class, these are the only places (if we do not count the street, stations and shopping centers) where it is still possible to perform in front of a public
”.
This is what the Congolese dancer Florent Mahoukou does, for example, by playing in the play “My Brazza”.
Libératio
n followed him to a high school in the Paris region, in Colombes.
In the class, "
without warning, the dancer moves the tables and incidentally the students
", "
he even climbs onto the teacher's desk
" and "makes
the bubbling city center of the capital of Congo appear without decoration"
, "
For talk about Africa
”.
In short, it is a trip for the students, an outlet for the artists, it obviously feels good.
In France, the birth rate at half mast
And in the future, how many students in the classes?
In France, the birth rate is on the decline ... For the sixth consecutive year, "
the birth rate has fallen in 2020
",
La Croix
believes
.
This is what should normally underline the demographic report of INSEE, expected this Tuesday, "
around 1.7 children per woman
".
And the newspaper is interested, him, in these "
French, who would like a third child and do not have it
".
Because yes, in spite of everything,
"a significant part
" of our compatriots remain seduced by the large family, as shown by an opinion poll by Kantar.
1000 people questioned, and almost a quarter of them want to have three children.
However, things will not go smoothly, warns
La Croix
, "
the current health crisis could well weigh on the birth rate for several years
".
Hear it, the French therefore have their work cut out for them ...
