Invited to the microphone of journalist Sonia Mabrouk, actor
Pierre Arditi

This feature film deals with the rivalries that can exist between a father and his son.
The actor plays the role of François, a world-famous conductor, who finds himself in a duel with... his son, played by Yvan Attal.

paternity
which has not always been easy.
Indeed, he may have experienced obstacles in his role as the father of Frédéric, his only child born from his first union with the actress Florence Giorgetti.

“There are no good parents, it does not exist. I can speak with knowledge. I myself am one of the
assassins
of my own son
,” says the 77-year-old actor.
Obviously, this is a metaphor meant to reflect his absence as a father.
“It's quite violent as an expression but when he came into the world, his mother and I, my first wife, we were in the process of making ourselves as actors.
So he didn't get what a child expects from his father and his mother.
He did a bit like Proust.
From time to time, he had to be alone in his bed, crying because his mother did not come and kiss him on the forehead”
, Pierre Arditi book.
Water has flowed under the bridge since this complicated period for young Frédéric, who is now an accomplished 53-year-old man.
The relationship of the father son duo seems to have calmed down over time even if it has not been easy.
“We paid a lot of money for it”
, explains the father before adding:
“When we wanted to speak with my son, we had to call him because he no longer called.
He said
, “
Me, there's no problem, I'm delighted to see you, but I'm not calling.
“
Now it's over, everything has disappeared”
, reassures the actor.
