Jean-Paul Rouvé was received by Laurent Delahousse this February 20 in the show 8:30 p.m., Sunday. He had come to promote his new film with absurd humor, the one he appreciates the most, named Zai zai zai zai, in reference to a comic strip from which it is drawn, and directed by François Desagnat. This is the story of a man who does his shopping at the supermarket, but realizes that he has forgotten his loyalty card… so he decides to run away with a leek! And if this summary may seem crazy to you, or make you think of a “Kamoulox” (parodic game in which two adversaries face off in a verbal contest without tail or head), it is actually a criticism of the actual society.
Jean-Paul Rouve asks Laurent Delahousse to remain silent
“We are all hysterical, we eat the news channel, one news chases the other… that’s also what we find in this film“, analyzes Laurent Delahousse on set. And the actor, who had mocked Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine some time ago, confirmed: “I try to avoid, it’s a drug, the news channels, and even the telephone… I quit”. The journalist and his guest then approached the infernal rhythm of today’s life: too many screens, too many appointments, too much of everything and too fast. Laurent Delahousse, taking Claude Sautet as a reference, then evoked the importance of silences, in the cinema, or elsewhere. “You’re right, silence is very important. We try, do you want us to try?” he then launches to the journalist, who did not expect that at all.
Laurent Delahousse runs, very uncomfortable
“Silence on a TV set? Right now, at 8 p.m., with thousands of people watching?“says the journalist, visibly embarrassed. “You, you may succeed, but I will have great moments of loneliness”, he warned. “We try ?“, insisted the actor. The two men then stopped talking.one looks at the other while the other remains with his eyes fixed on the camera, rather uncomfortable. The fifteen seconds passed, Laurent Delahousse spoke once more, and Jean-Paul Rouve underlined: “Not bad, huh? You have noticed, when we talk once more, the voice is softer.“A suspended moment and a rather original experience for the presenter of France 2, but which he will probably not repeat.
