Christine and Gilbert really don't have much in common.
One, bourgeois, indulges in reactionary remarks, the other, a little low-ceilinged, only grumbles.
Of course, very distinct personalities were needed to create these new
Household Scenes
.
Fanny Cottençon, who we saw recently in
Cassandre
and
César Wagner
, and comedian Didier Bénureau, who played in
Candice Renoir
, camp the new couple of the cult soap opera of M6.
The first played in front of the camera of Philippe de Broca and Jean-Pierre Mocky, the second, a former member of the “Petit Théâtre de Bouvard”, is particularly known for his show
Pour Morales
.
Didier Bénureau
and
Fanny
Cottençon
, who had never played together, enjoy giving each other a cue.
“I was happily surprised, I said to myself the couple was going well”
, explains the first, who felt
“an alchemy”
.
The second suspends its judgment to rely on that of the viewers.
She also confides that she felt a little nervous, despite all the scenes and films shot in her career.
Were they going to succeed in integrating with the other couples of
Scenes of household
, this series which exists for fourteen years?
“We had to see if we held up against the others, who have been there for a long time and have mastered it diabolically!”
“
In cinema, women are made into young girls, mothers, grandmothers.
Couldn't they be doctors, for example, simply have a profession?

Echoes of their personal life
Didier Bénureau describes Gilbert, his character:
“He is still low in the ceiling.
Beaufs, I love.
To make a redneck well, you have to be a little yourself…”
Fanny Cottençon says she looks a little less like Christine.
“But it passes through us, there is necessarily a bit of us in our characters.”
The production team meets once a week to read the texts and refine them if necessary.
This is an opportunity to bring personal experience.
"These
household scenes
can echo scenes from our own married lives
," smiles the actress.
The two actors appear less, lately, on the big screen.
The small screen gives, it is true
"many possibilities"
, recalls Didier Bénureau.
And then, there is
“a certain
youthism
”
in the profession.
Which penalizes women like men, assures Fanny Cottençon:
“For women, it's fifty years, men, sixty years.
But women suffer particularly because they are always made into young girls, mothers, grandmothers.
Couldn't they be doctors, for example, simply have a profession?
We can't make this reproach to
Scenes of Household
: Christine is the manager of a campsite there.
