The War of the Buttons
“This is my favorite adaptation, the parents are really suckers and the ingenuity of the kids amazing! It’s very funny and it’s also the painting of the countryside from the middle of the last century.”
The kite at the end of the world
“Conversely, it is the painting of Paris at about the same time as the War of the Buttons, and how the magical invades a working-class district. An image of China and its Communism of Epinal which has changed a lot today. “
The Young Ladies of Rochefort
“A masterpiece by Jacques Démy. I saw it when it came out, I was a child and I have always lived with it. My children were brought up to soundtrack.”
Pocket money / The 400 blows
“Just to make you realize that your grandfathers and grandmothers were children and experienced emotions similar to yours …”
The Lord of the Rings
“Because I’ve always believed in elves, fairies and all the magical people around us. And then it’s sublime in its staging and special effects.”
Peter Pan
“Because he’s my favorite hero, maybe because I didn’t quite understand what growing up means!”
