French cinema lost one of its rising stars on January 19, 2022. That day, actor Ulliel died of a skiing accident while descending the slopes of the La Rosière ski area (Savoie). A brutal death at the age of only 37 which obviously upset the world of cinema, but also all the French…
But while the actor disappeared only a few days ago, the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo decided to dedicate a front page to the latter by imagining “the next roles of Gaspard Ulliel” that he could have had in the cinema.
“Unanimous tribute from the world of the 7th art to Gaspard Ulliel, handsome French cinema kid, who died on Wednesday January 19 following a skiing accident. What a pity, he could have taken up so many of our great classics”, thus wrote Charlie Hebdo, before caricaturing other films like Snow Queen and his “ liberated, liberated, I will never ski again”, hibernatus or Les Bronzés go skiing with a caricature of the actor in a coffin hurtling down the slopes…
Images that shocked enormously… The proof, on the set of Touche not at my post Thursday January 20, 2022, the columnists did not fail to give their categorical opinion on the question: “Already, it’s not funny, there is a right to caricature, but I find it appalling. The next day, in addition, it shocks me enormously, it’s terrible “, launched Benjamin Castaldi. Same story for Guillaume Genton who referred to the companion and child of the late Gaspard Ulliel: “It’s horrible, I think of this kid who is 6 years old, of his wife, and seeing these images on top of that, these people are heartless, it doesn’t make sense”, he launched… A misunderstanding that Internet users on the Web share 100% with the columnists of TPMP. “Freedom of expression at its limits when even it’s indecent”, “It’s not funny”, “It’s totally not funny and indecent”, “Dirty, intolerable”, can we read on Twitter.
