The Bronzed say goodbye to Jean-Claude Dusse. Actor Michel Blanc died Thursday, October 3 of a heart attack following anaphylactic shock, his press officer confirmed to BFMTV. He was 72 years old.
For many, he will forever remain Jean-Claude Dusse, the famous clumsy and clumsy flirt of the Tannedeternally “on the verge of conclusion”, whose now cult lines have marked generations of spectators and viewers.
• “Forget that you have no chance, go for it! You never know, a misunderstanding could work!”
Pronounced by Jean-Claude Dusse to Bernard (Gérard Jugnot) in Tanned people go skiing (1979), this advice humorously summarizes the desperate optimism of the character played by Michel Blanc who always hopes to “conclude”, but never does.
• “What is your name?” “Jean-Claude, and you? Dusse with a D like Dusse…”
In this scene, also from the film Tanned people go skiingJean-Claude Dusse tries to seduce a hotel receptionist by asking her name. The young woman, not interested, does not answer him. Embarrassed, he corrects himself by repeating his last name. An exchange which illustrates the awkwardness of Jean-Claude Dusse’s character with women.
• “I was on the verge of concluding and you screwed everything up. I don’t know what’s stopping me from beating the shit out of you.” “Scared, right?” “Yeah, that must be it.”
In this scene of Tanned people go skiingJean-Claude Dusse and Popeye (Thierry Lhermitte) find themselves in a shelter in the company of a young Italian woman, Fernanda. They take turns trying to seduce her, but when Popeye tries to kiss her, Fernanda flees. Jean-Claude Dusse then criticizes Popeye for having ruined one of his attempts at seduction, when in reality he had no chance.
• “Okay, in 10 minutes I consider us definitely lost.”
Lost in the mountain, Jean-Claude Dusse waits for help with Nathalie (Josiane Balasko) and Gigi (Marie-Anne Chazel). The failed seducer then takes advantage of this three-way moment to attempt an approach with his friends who end up gently rejecting him.
• “When will I see you again? Wonderful country! Where those who love each other live together!”
This tune is sung by Jean-Claude Dusse in Tanned people go skiingwhile he is stuck alone on a chairlift in the middle of the night and tries to reassure himself and pass the time while waiting for help.
Originally, Patrice Leconte, the director of the film, wanted to use the song in this scene Snow Star by Jacques Hélian, thinking that the title, released in 1949, had fallen into the public domain and would therefore be free of rights.
But once on set, the filmmaker realizes that the French version of this waltz, imagined by the Austrian Franz Winkler, is “very expensive”. As a result, he asked the musician Pierre Bachelet to create a new piece of music inspired bySnow Star. “We said we would rather die than pay dearly. It wasn’t our money, but we were in solidarity with the producer,” confided Patrice Leconte in the making-of of the film.
