At the heart of our interview, Yann Moix shares his unique vision of isolated nations like North Korea, affirming that, in a globalized world where airports and cities seem duplicates of each other, North Korea represents an “Elsewhere “. According to Moix, this country offers a unique perspective, “in a world where each airport is the twin of the previous airport […] North Korea is somewhere else,” he underlines, thus marking his fascination with a nation often perceived through the prism of media demonization. He also returns to the Gérard Depardieu controversy, extract below.
A Controversial Vision of the Writer’s Commitment
The role of writers in public debate is another highlight of the interview. Moix defends the need for writers to participate in media discussions, emphasizing their ability to offer a different perspective on current events. “Journalists have a way of seeing things which is very useful for writers but not only that, and writers have a different way of approaching current events,” he explains. This interaction between journalism and literary creation is crucial for him, especially in a complex media context.
Cinema, Controversy and Censorship
“It’s not images from my film, it’s stolen images from a film that were broadcast, that is to say that the producer stole a film from me. »
The hot topic of the controversial film involving Gérard Depardieu in North Korea is tackled with vigor. Moix criticizes the way the media manipulate images to create scandals. He denounces the theft of his cinematographic work by producers and the transformation of the latter into a media charge against Depardieu, illustrating the tensions between artistic creativity and media sensationalism.
“Images were torn from a fiction film to put them in a documentary film against Gérard Depardieu. »
“It is brutal, absolutely inexcusable violence and that deserves a trial. »

His critical view of society, his homage to notable cultural figures, and his passionate defense of freedom of expression define the portrait of a man who lives and breathes through his convictions, whatever the repercussions. .
