On November 22, ESRA welcomed director Benoît JACQUOT to its amphitheater, following the screening of his 2011 film " Les Adieux à la reine" (Farewell to the Queen), a historical film that is undoubtedly one of the finest by its author, if not the finest. The filmmaker spoke to the students about the adventure of this extraordinary film, and his relationship with actors and, more specifically, actresses.
Talking about his taste for psychoanalysis, opera and theater, the director naturally returned to his career, his years as an assistant, his beginnings in cinema and the intense pleasure he derives from working on the set. He insisted on his passion for classical authors and history. As long as the films he makes are not antique films.
