After My family already adores you!he comes out Irreduciblea feature film which tells the story of a civil servant determined not to resign, no matter what obstacles are thrown at him. It is an adaptation of an Italian film, Where am I going?. “I saw this film when it came out and very quickly wanted to adapt it, with the blessing of the producers who told me ‘If you like it, take up the subject, make it your garden…’ What interested me was to bring this very Italian story closer to the concerns that are in our current zeitgeist…”, confided the comedian. In this film, he stars Valérie Lemercier, of whom he confided being a big fan, Christian Clavier, and Gérard Depardieu.
Christian Clavier refused help with a stunt in Irreducible
Guest of GQ to return to the strongest moments of his career, Jérôme Commandeur revealed a filming anecdote about Christian Clavier, who plays a very caricatured trade unionist in Irreducible. “I think it was the first time he played a left-wing role. He didn’t really know. He had fewer references than usual,” quipped the comedian. In the film, the interpreter of Katia in Santa Claus is trash must slap Jérôme Commandeur. The production therefore chose to take a precaution before filming this scene. “I remember very well because there is always this kind of anxiety about slaps, slaps and often the production brings a stunt adjuster. The stunt adjuster when you have to jump a bridge and everything”, summed up the director.
Jérôme Commandeur has fond memories of filming this scene
Christian Clavier was surprised by this precaution, recalling that he had been making films for forty years and that he knew how to deliver a slap. Unfortunately, the sequel proved the production of the film right, as Jérôme Commandeur recounted. “Action, he takes her hand. He puts a pie on me and cuts my neck. And I see in the depths of his eye that he was delighted to have given me a potato. That’s all Christian summed up in one slap.” continued the comedian, who clearly has fond memories of this shoot.
