More affable, more kind, more courteous, there was not. More severe, more cooling, more angry, there was not. Jean-Laurent Cochet was a sacred character ... But first of all an interpreter who made the least character a great character so powerful was his personality, so was his talent with contrasting moirés.
He imposed them, Mr. Cochet. He liked to please and he seduced. But even young, slender and lively like a Harlequin, he did not play pretty hearts. He set the bar very high and his eye became very dark when you were caught in the act of uncultivation ... He took a certain mischief in making enemies ... He loved the argument and ignited, got carried away, was angry… But he also cultivated the art of reconciliation and his friends, among whom former students who had become stars in the firmament of the performing arts and the seventh art, would tell you, amused and moved, the thousand and one ruptures and backlashes with the master.
