It is Jean-Paul Rouve who was chosen to play Gabriel Matzneff in the adaptation of
Consent
, the truth book by Vanessa Springora.
On the set of RTL, the actor revealed why he was happy to be part of the cast of this film, adapted by the author herself.
“It is a remarkable book, an important, indispensable book, which tells - for those who do not know - the hold of this man on this 14 year old girl.
What is beautiful about it - that's why
Le Consentement
is
called
- is that she is really in love with him, but he is a predator, ”he said on the show.
Let yourself be tempted
, before continuing: "And then, it also speaks of a time which accepted all that in the 1980s. It is all the same a consent also vis-à-vis parents, the role of parents who is not clear.
This is all very important and Vanessa made it into a remarkable, truly remarkable script.
"
Hidden point of view
Jean-Paul Rouve is categorical: he will, as much as possible, try to play his role without letting his point of view on the "Matzneff affair" show through. “Me, I interpret. I don't judge when I interpret. I have a look, me, Jean-Paul Rouve, on a story, on what it tells and it is the only role of the film. But that's not the role of the interpreter, obviously. The risk when we interpret is that we humanize and as soon as we put humanity into something, it's as if we were redeeming people. Well no. The worst person is a basic human being, ”he added.
Alongside Jean-Paul Rouve, we should find the young actress Kim Higelin (
Plan B
), granddaughter of Jacques, who will play Vanessa Springora.
Behind the camera, there will be Vanessa Filho, director of
Gueule d'Ange
, released in 2018. No date has yet been announced for the film
Le Consentement
.
