Actor Sam Karmann recounts a memory of the filmmaker who died on January 18, which according to him defines “the man he was”. When the piece had to be put on in 1992.


He was her

"friend"

, her

"brother"

.

Actor and director Sam Karmann reacted on his Facebook account to the death of Jean-Pierre Bacri, which occurred on January 18.

A long message which is

"not just any eulogy"

but the story of an anecdote

"which defines the man he was"

.

It is about how

Cuisine et Dépendances

, a play before becoming a cult film, was produced in 1992. Or rather, how it almost did not.

"Jean-Pierre Bacri is already known and appreciated in his status as a young film star

,

"

begins Sam Karmann, who plays the character of Jacques, the bourgeois husband.

With Agnès Jaoui, who is at the beginning of her career, Bacri wrote a text,

Cuisine et Dépendances.

He offers it to Stéphan Meldegg, director of the La Bruyère theater.

As this is not available, the director organizes a reading in a

“large Parisian theater”

.

In an interview published in

L'art du scenario

, published in 2012, Agnès Jaoui explained that it is the Montparnasse theater.

"We will go elsewhere"

After a discussion with the management, Stéphan Meldegg

"joins them with his inimitable Droopy face"

and tells them that the audience is interested in the piece but wants a

"more powerful"

cast

.

There were then Agnès Jaoui, Bacri, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Zabou Breitman and Sam Karmann.

The

Sens de la fête

actor

bangs his fist:

“I don't care what their ideas are, they didn't understand that this play was this casting!

We will go elsewhere. ”

Result, deaf to the negotiations of this direction, the team will play

Cuisine et Dépendances

at the theater La Bruyère after Stéphan Meldegg has changed its programming.

Without changing the cast.

Later, the piece will be crowned with a Molière.

Still in

The Art of the Scenario

, Agnès Jaoui compared the anecdote to her refusals, years later, to go and pursue a career in the United States, as he was advised.

She summed up:

"I don't see why I would go somewhere where I have constraints."
