Comedy or drama?
” I don’t know. I never know when I make a movie. Dramatic, social, bittersweet comedy… Anyway, not a gag comedy. »
A comedy duo?
“With Grégoire Ludig (Palmashow member), we didn’t go into comedy mode. We play as if we were in any movie. Then, the overall tone will make you laugh about it or not. The British do it very well. I like. Pick it up in France Head shot By Jean-Jacques Annaud. We no longer ask ourselves, but what is it in the end? It’s a comedy, right? We are in between. »
