Etienne Garcia's film can be seen on December 22 at the Théâtre Scène Nationale (red room), in Narbonne. Confessions of the director a few days before leaving his work to the public.
A year of immortalizing the lost too soon. A year of capturing on film the words of those who will love him forever. By choice, by modesty, by respect, Etienne Garcia, director, has an introspective parable to define his artistic approach dedicated to Cédric Rosalen in his film “Rose”: “There is nothing that does not concern people. I have been on public land, it is never intimate. The family cause must remain within the family. For example, imagine that you have a wardrobe in your home. You locked it because you consider what's inside to be yours. You disappear and your loved ones have the key. Would it be okay for them to open it? your wish was for it to remain closed, Is it a problem that we open it since you are no longer there? On the question of resonance, the respect is that it must remain closed. Why have access to something that you would not have when alive. of the one who left?”

His premise was therefore clear: talk about everything, but not what is in the cupboard. And have the legitimacy of not being close. Etienne Garcia, a simple supporter of the RCN and the men, concedes that he would not have imagined the film if he had been friends with Cédric: “The story could not be the rejection of acceptance of his loss. The starting point is about the fact that he is gone. As the film must interest the public, I could not be in the personal opinion because we is not interesting with your own story. If you tell a film about your family, you will only interest your family. The universal capacity is very low. The complexity was to start with a subject and bring it so that. the people in the room are interested in him that they have known him or not. The look of the two interests me to know how Cédric will have enriched them.
Dignity
Without ever obscuring the absence, “Rose” wants to be dignified. As in Gruissan where he was in the educational service, in his action with Corbières XV… “Dignity is highlighted because it is public”assures Etienne Garcia.
The Independent – CHRISTOPHE BARREAU
From the director, there is still his look. “43 years of life, an hour and a quarter of film… I fully accept a look, my idea of truth while knowing that many have experienced other things.” It is, moreover, the whole art of art. And the mastery was to make a film about life. What Etienne Garcia also endorses: “For Cédric, it was a cessation of life, so we are going to talk about life. The Cédric Rosalen association founded by the family was created so that tomorrow, beyond his earthly life, he will be a presence and a continuity for the living in terms of values, implications, projects.”
DR
“We come out different from the start of the trip”
“With the team, we have gone through almost a year, the seasons. In this circle, we come out different from the beginning of the journey. I am at the very end of post-production and in the detail of the details, but we are connected.” The discovery of emotional outlets is to attend the screening of “Rose”, the premiere, on December 22, at the Théâtre Scène Nationale (red room), in Narbonne.
