00:00 In an interview with TV Le Loisir, Gérard Darmon came back on the heavy criticism against
00:14 the last part of the adventures of Asterix and Obelix, made by Guillaume Canet.
00:20 A public hatred that the comedian has still not accepted.
00:25 In the eyes of fans of Gaulish adventures, he will always remain the great lover of
00:32 Goffey.
00:33 20 years ago, Gérard Darmon participated in the great adventure Asterix and Obelix,
00:41 Cleopatra mission, remained cult in the hearts of cinephiles.
00:45 For his comedy, Alain Chabat had brought together some of the greatest names in French
00:52 cinema, including Jamel Debouze, Gérard Depardieu, Monica Bellucci or Edward Baird.
00:59 "An adventure so crazy that the comedian admitted during an interview with our
01:06 TV Le Loisir brothers to never be part of the cast of another Asterix, I promised myself
01:12 to never do Asterix again, and I will keep my word.
01:15 Alain Chabat's is enough for me.
01:20 He is obviously the best of all and the rest will be left to him.
01:26 Because if this Egyptian part remained cult, the cinematographic adventure of the irreducible
01:33 Gauls does not cease to be stopped there, with three new parts that struggled to make
01:38 the franchise shine again.
01:39 "In particular the last point it is not necessary that it turns to the accounting regulations
01:46 a few months ago, Guillaume Canesse is indeed also rubbed to the comic of Uderzo and Goscinny
01:51 with Asterix and Obelix, the empire of the middle.
01:54 A pharaonic production, although a Chinese this time, to the casting a new time five
02:03 stars, but which failed to convince critics and the public.
02:07 Sometimes violent attacks, which did not fail to hurt the director, who estimates
02:16 yet to have managed to touch a part of the public.
02:19 He was able to count on the support of his actors, but also of Gérard Darmon in person,
02:27 very angry to see such violent reviews flourishing on social networks, it is a sum
02:32 of colossal work swept away by a reverse of hand.
02:35 We do not like, okay, but it is not necessary that it turns to the accounting regulations
02:42 he regretted in the columns of our brothers.
02:44 But where does this hatred come from?
02:49 He also wonders, aware that to launch in an adaptation of Asterix and Obelix has become
02:55 a real risk for the directors.
02:57 Which does not prevent him from realizing that the feature film was not necessarily up to
03:05 expectations, there was very good and less good.
03:08 Yes, the film cost a lot of money and we were entitled to expect more than we were more
03:15 useful.
03:16 A failure that sounds like the glade of attempts, while the new release of Cleopatra in 4K
03:24 has once again been successful.
03:26 Question mark.
