Your first memory of cinema

"The first time I went to the cinema, it was to see

La cuisine aueurre

, with Fernandel and Bourvil because my parents systematically went to see the films of Bourvil, the local actor.

Your craziest movie screening

It was a film by Mel Brooks,

Frankenstein Junior

, seen in the 1970s. I did not understand everything, but it was the first time I discovered Marty Feldman, and I especially remember the bursts of laughter from the English. .

I had never seen a room laugh at this point, it was crazy and wonderful.

The movie you would have liked to see in the cinema

I would say

The Exit of the Lumière factory in Lyon

.

It must have been extraordinary to see those first images, to be fascinated.

The magic of cinema was at work.

The movie you would like to live in

Perhaps a Jacques Tati film.

In

My Uncle

, or

Feast Day

.

It's such a reinvented, burlesque world and it's quite tender. 

The cult movie you've never seen

I've never seen

Star

Wars,

but I would have to see it.

At the beginning it's not the kind of film that particularly attracts me and so I let it go, but I will try to see it before I die.

The most beautiful movie scene

In City

Lights

, when the old blind woman recognizes Chaplin.

It is one of the most beautiful scenes in cinema which, every time, moves me.

The characters are of great purity and the story is overwhelming.

There is also a kind of perfection in the directing which is extremely moving.

Your favorite director

I would have loved to work with Chabrol.

I really like his mind.

I would have liked to know him because I think he had a sense of life and brotherhood that you get in his films, and he did some masterpieces.

The movie you would recommend to your best friend

I would hesitate between two films:

Tandem

, by Patrice Leconte, and

La Fin du jour

with Michel Simon and Louis Jouvet.

Michel Simon is amazing, it's funny and heartbreaking, it's a film that I love.

The movie that you would recommend to your worst enemy

Ma Loute

, by Bruno Dumont.

It was like a demonstration of how professional actors are so much worse than the people you pick up on the street.

I didn't find the project great, and at the same time I remember some images that I found to be very strong visually ... But overall, I found most of the main actors to be very bad.

The soundtrack that has marked your life the most

The music of the 

400 Coups

, by Truffaut.

Besides, he said bad things about his composer and this music, and I think he is wrong because it is very nice music.

Jean Constantin was a wonderful melodist, and he is an artist that I really like.

He was a bit of a jazzman and had such a singularity when he sang his songs that I love this character. "
