Almost a year after the death of Jean-Pierre Bacri, France 3 broadcast this Friday, January 14, a documentary devoted to his life. The opportunity to learn why he was angry with Roger Hanin.
The sad news fell on Monday January 18, 2021: Jean-Pierre Bacri died at the age of 69. The actor, made famous by the films Kitchens and outbuildings and A family resemblance, had cancer. A disease that only his relatives knew about. But not all. Very modest, the former companion of Agnès Jaoui did not pour out on his health problems. “Jean-Pierre was very modest, did not talk about his health. When I met him, he was thin, sometimes out of breath, taking medicine, but it would never have occurred to me to ask him about any problems”, sadly confided his driver, Valentin Morel, in the columns of the Parisian.
While this great star of theater and cinema has left us almost a year ago to the day, France 3 devoted a documentary to him this Friday evening entitled Bacri, like a family resemblance. The opportunity to learn that he was seriously angry with Roger Hanin, one of his mentors in the middle.
Jean-Pierre Bacri did not support Roger Hanin’s remark
At the start of his career, in the 1980s, Jean-Pierre Bacri had the opportunity to collaborate with Roger Hanin, who offered him roles in several of his plays. But their friendship ended in 1983, when they leftMoney, my beautiful love. Behind the scenes, the director and his protege would have been the subject of a big clash. Sam Karmann, one of the closest friends of the late actor, remembered it from France 3.
“There was a huge shouting match during rehearsals. We argued because there was a strike, and we wanted to show solidarity, not to repeat, for union reasons. Suddenly Roger said: ‘But what am I getting involved in?. And we, we said to him: ‘But you, the man on the left, you could understand“”, he explained. A reflection that the interpreter of Navarro would not have appreciated at all, who would then have treated his interlocutors of “little idiots“.”It went all over the place and there was a real clash. We played the play, but it was hot. It was the end of relations between Jean-Pierre and Roger“. An irrevocable sentence.
