Strong emotion last week at the announcement of the death of Gaspard Ulliel, after a skiing accident. To pay homage to him, some channels have shaken up their program schedules. This Sunday, January 23, France 2 therefore broadcast Sybil, by Justine Triet. A hotly debated choice on social networks.
On January 19, we learned of the tragic disappearance of Gaspard Ulliel following a skiing accident in Savoie. Several chains have logically shaken up their program schedule to pay tribute to the French actor among the most promising of his generation. This Sunday, January 23, France 2 has therefore upset its evening and broadcast instead of black river, Sibyl with Virginie Efira, Adèle Exarchopoulos and Gaspard ulliel who was making his last appearance on the big screen.
The film unveiled in 2019 and directed by Justine Triet had been presented in the official selection of the Cannes Film Festival the same year and garnered critical acclaim. A wise choice then? Not necessarily, to the taste of Internet users, many of whom have shared their misunderstanding and their disappointment throughout the evening.
Sybil, a symbolic choice for France 2?
Certainly many Internet users have been upset to find the comedian’s angel face, magnified by Justine Triet’s camera. ” Gaspard Ulliel is so handsome in Sybil, it hurts too much “, notably launched a user. But other voices were raised against the choice of Sybil in sometimes brutal terms : “but what is this crap? And then this useless acting, not to mention that at the level of articulation, it’s inaudible …. French cinema in its pseudo nerd delirium! There was much better as a tribute in Ulliel? “, ” Where is the tribute to Gaspard Ulliel in this film? We only see Virginie Efira what a desappointment “, “I really like Gaspard Ulliel, his personality, his presence, his sensitivity. But this film, his last, Sybil, broadcast this evening by France 2 to pay tribute to him, it’s just not possible. A caricature of French cinema. Nothing believable, carnal. It’s all there “, dropped some very angry internet users.
“Sybil, it’s very very boring, and we see very little Gaspard Ulliel. Very weird as a choice “, “I wondered if the movie Sybil broadcast tonight was a tribute to Gaspard Ulliel or Virginie Efira??? ” , ” The broadcast of Sybill, this evening on France 2, announced as a ‘ tribute to Gaspard Ulliel’ Truly ? Seriously? Almost fifty minutes after the start of the film, one can legitimately ask the question… “, “I don’t see how this film is a tribute to Gaspard Ulliel which we hardly see. Why did France TV not broadcast Saint Laurent ??? “Other many viewers were moved. The choice of France 2, it is clear, was not unanimous …
#Sybil I don’t see how this film is a tribute to Gaspard Ulliel, who we hardly ever see. Why @France2tv not having broadcast “Saint-Laurent” ???

Sybil, it’s very very boring, and we see very little Gaspard Ulliel. Very odd choice.

I really like Gaspard Ulliel, his personality, his presence, his sensitivity. But this film, his latest, Sybil, broadcast this evening by France 2 to pay homage to him, is just not possible. A caricature of French cinema. Nothing believable, carnal. Everything there is only posing.
