On the verge of tears, but stitched up. Jacques Michel suddenly shines in this Geneva tea room which is a theater setting in itself, with its archduchess mirrors from the series Downton Abbey. The great French-speaking actor, 78 years old, has this gift, that of enveloping you in an alpine light, which his piercing blue eyes reverberate as if through loopholes.
The Jack Nicholson of Swiss boards is him. Later in the conversation, he will express his admiration for the brilliant actor of Shining (1980), this demon in Sunday clothes. Jacques Michel has been struggling like this for sixty years, sulphurous in Macbeth, stormy in Captain Haddock, struck down like the oak in Ambros Adelwarth, one of the exiles of the Emigrants, this cursed show, canceled on June 2 at the Comédie de Genève, resurrected at the Théâtre de l’Odéon in Paris in January.
