Today, his former companion Daniel Auteuil shares his admiration: “I saw the film before it was broadcast, it’s strong, courageous. Painful, I imagine. I admire that”. He specifies that this did not surprise him: “But I have often been reminded of his positions, he is someone very committed”.

The documentary by Emmanuel Béart and Anastasia Mikova brought together nearly a million viewers.
