This Friday, February 24, 2023, Jamel Debbouze opened the 48th Cesar ceremony. The comedian was part of the list of those selected to co-present the evening along with Jérôme Commandeur, Leïla Bekhti, Emmanuelle Devos, Léa Drucker, Eye Haïdara, Alex Lutz, Raphaël Personnaz and Ahmed Sylla. In his opening speech, the husband of Mélissa Theuriau used his humor to notably tease various personalities present at the Olympia, from Pio Marmaï to Virginie Efira via the Minister of Culture, Rima Abdul Malak. Without forgetting, Gilles Lellouche or Pierre Niney who had to be in front of the television.
The forty-something talked about the box of streaming platforms, starting with Netflix, which can afford high-class actors such as Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio or Sandra Bullock. The creator of Marrakech of Laughter underlined the difference between French cinema and American productions: “special effects and stunts”did he declare.
“Because when I read, I’m sorry: ‘Vincent Lindon walks languorously towards Juliette Binoche’, at ‘languorously’ we emptied the room. If you replace ‘languorously’ by ninjas the life of my mother it is not the same film. Can you imagine Vincent Lindon walking languidly towards Juliette Binoche and he is attacked by ninjas from both sides? Something is happening there, we are making entries!
Disturbed by Juliette Binoche, herself
Moment chosen by the principal concerned to get up and throw at her: “I do not agree !”she exclaimed. “Yes, it’s true, but I did not expect this intervention“Somewhat confused, Leon’s father nevertheless went on to say: “You add ninjas Juliette, on the life of my mother we make a misfortune”. From her seat, the nominee in the category of Best Actress for her role in Ouistreham dropped : “You haven’t seen the movie!” After assuring to have seen this realization, Jamel turned to the scenes saying: “But what’s happening to her? Did you write this text to her?”
