"There are bad films that succeed and good films that fail... That's what cinema is all about!" A phrase to ponder from Bertrand Blier. So, Rohmer, Corneau, Chabrol, these sacred monsters of cinema, are the great departed at the César Awards this year. But you, Bertrand, are you afraid of dying? A straightforward start, just the way we like them on Salut les Terriens. A golden career, but... An Oscar, five Césars, a Grand Jury Prize at Cannes... Not bad, right? And yet, everyone still confuses you with Henri Pescarolo. "It's appalling!" And Bertrand replies: "In the Southwest, that always guarantees me a good restaurant meal!" Misanthrope and bad mood: the key to genius? "There's always a rebel sleeping inside me, a bad mood," admits Blier. And he continues: "To create, you have to be in a bad mood." But tonight, at Ardisson's, Bertrand is... in a good mood. Miracle? Women, Love, and Death Blier drops a line that hits the mark: "We all want to die in the arms of a woman, not in those of a medical professor." Poetic, raw, all Blier in one sentence. Theater: "Sorry about the carpet" Bertrand Blier reinvents himself as a playwright with his play Sorry about the carpet. A bourgeois woman, a tramp, carpeted sidewalks to make life easier for the homeless. A crazy idea? Blier replies: "It's to illustrate the general bad conscience." Papa Blier: Shadow and Light Bertrand opens Pandora's box about his father, Bernard Blier: "A macho, bitter man, often locked in his office, but brilliant." A poignant confession about family heritage and childhood, which comes back ever faster with age. Memories Under the Covers At 13, Bertrand devours books under his duvet with a flashlight. His father enters the bedroom: "Are you asleep?" Bertrand replies: "Yes." And Bernard blurts out: "Would you like some sausage in the kitchen?" Simple but unforgettable moments. Music, a Family Affair His mother, a gifted pianist, played Chopin divinely well. And it shows in his films: "The piano costs less in royalties!" he jokes. Death, a peaceful conclusion “When you have a full life, you are less afraid of dying.” Blier, the philosopher, speaks of accomplishment, legacy, and the films he leaves behind, successful or unsuccessful, but always sincere. ***** Comments Info ***** On our YouTube channels, you are free to express your opinion, even if it is critical.
