To get a good interview, you need at least two people.
Wednesday evening,
“Quotidien”
offered an exceptional panel of guests with the arrival of the protagonists of the film
Dune: second part
.
In addition to Canadian director Denis Villeneuve,
Yann Barthès
welcomed several actors including French-speaking Timothée Chalamet, Souheila Yacoub and Léa Seydoux.

TV tonight: our selection of the day
After a part devoted to the analysis of the
Dune
phenomenon and the review of the film (which will be released in theaters on February 28) by Ambre Chalumeau, the host of TMC took charge of interviewing his seven guests by mixing up the questions entertaining ones a little offbeat with those more serious and promotional relating to the feature film.

“The interviews with international stars by Yann Barthès are always extremely embarrassing”
In this game of questions and answers, Yann Barthès was sometimes confronted, despite himself, with the incomprehension or reserve of some of his interlocutors.
Which broke the rhythm of a relatively jerky interview lasting more than 35 minutes which was the target of numerous criticisms on social networks.
“Having incredible guests and asking such lame and awkward questions is crazy,”
wrote one user.
“The interviews with international stars by Yann Barthès are always extremely embarrassing.
Continuing to ask actors to play emotions is on the same level as saying to a comedian: “come on, make me laugh”
,” published another.
“But Yann Barthès is so bad. He has the cast and the director of
Dune
in front of him and his questions are absolutely useless
,” annoys a viewer.
“To receive so many international stars to ask them: “Who is the most drama queen?
Who is the funniest?
Play us the mystery... Define the director in one word”.
And it ends with scarves from Saint-Étienne..."
In the relaxed mood of the interview, Yann Barthès finished by bringing scarves from the AS Saint-Étienne football club so dear to Timothée Chalamet.
The latter sang his team's anthem while his neighbors agreed to put green scarves around their necks.
An unusual moment which was appreciated by the Forézien club.
