With the Splendid troupe of which he is a part, Gérard Jugnot shone in Les Bronzés and Les Bronzés fait du ski. Unfortunately, the film Les Bronzés 3 was particularly criticized, despite great success in theaters. He looks back on this mixed success.
It’s hard to spend a summer without watching The Bronzed and a winter without laughing in front Tanned people go skiing. Released in 1978 and 1979 respectively, they continue to make the French laugh. These films directed by Patrice Leconte allowed the Splendid troupe to achieve enormous success, but also to remain close. So much so that when Michel Blanc died on October 3, they all went to the funeral together. It is also with heavy hearts that they have, in turn, paid tribute to him, whether on social networks or in the media.
The Bronzed 3 : an expected but criticized film
Faced with the success of the first two films dedicated to TannedPatrice Leconte shot The Bronzed 3 in 2006. Twenty years after their vacation in the mountains, Michel Blanc, Marie-Anne Chazel, Christian Clavier, Josiane Balasko, Gérard Jugnot, Thierry Lhermitte responded during a stay in Sardinia. And unfortunately, this third opus did not meet with the expected success in terms of critics, even if the expectation was there since 10 million entries were recorded. Viewers judged the film to be “useless“, “uninteresting“, that the gags were”few” and that the characters were not “not very funny anymore”. As for the late Michel Blanc, he confided that he felt responsible for this critical failure: “Not cWhat I did best. I find myself absent. And this failure is totally my fault. I didn’t want to make this film and I didn’t want them to make it without me.”
Gérard Jugnot defends Les Bronzés 4, heavily criticized: “They said that for the first two”
For his part, Gérard Jugnot is not as severe. Guest on the show Censorship from Télépro, Bernard Morin’s interpreter puts things into perspective: “We made three, for the third, lots of people told us it wasn’t good and everything, but first of all, they said that for the first two“. Indeed, at the time of their release in cinemas, The Bronzed et Tanned people go skiing had also received harsh criticism. Despite everything, this did not prevent the Splendid troupe and Patrice Leconte from asking themselves the question of a fourth opus, but the more time passes, the more the idea becomes distant, especially since without Jean-Claude Dusse, The Bronzed are no longer the same.
