François Ruffin, at the movies! – Liberation

Meeting with the director of the documentary “At work!” who also happens to be a former LFI deputy and possible presidential candidate.

Let us first detail the conditions of production of this portrait, frank instructions for use of the necklace which I want to bet will ensure the goodwill of the media scorners that François Ruffin knows well.

Rules of the game. My idea is to tell Ruffin as a documentary filmmaker and cinema lover, as a cultural theorist and amused spectator. This entertaining proposition is ideal for those who have reversible political neurosis. There will only be a marginal question about his break with La France insoumise or his presidential ambitions. Strangely, I have never met the deputy for the Somme, although I dream of a Raphaël Glucksmann – François Ruffin duo for the Elysée-Matignon 2027, in an order of precedence to be determined. By way of introduction, a biography written by Rachid Laïreche, friend of Released, allows me to take stock of the sometimes dark personality of the character, son of an engineer in the agri-food industry and a stay-at-home mother, but grandson of a bistro owner and peasants as he is keen to point out. Of course, I watch his latest opus entitled Get to work! where he takes Sarah Saldmann, a blonde lawyer and news channel commentator, to meet a world of work that she doesn't know
