Jean-Marie Le Pen has denounced

Jean-Marie Le Pen has denounced Tuesday in Lille insolence "without limit" of the actress Sophie Marceau, who has left the premises of TF1 on the eve after learning that the leader of the National Front was present on the board.

"The insolence of these circles of show-biz is limitless," he said during a press conference when he was asked about the behaviour of the actress Monday night. "It's the new lordship of our time.


It earns a lot of money, it is often placed in situations prestigious favourable, it is loved, so therefore we believe any permit, "he added. "These are valuable ridiculous. Ms. Marceau has learned that when she found out comedy, "he joked.

Then he was asked whether the fact that Ms. Marceau has come to present a film on the resistance, "Women of the Shadows," changed something to the case, he prevailed: "What This has been a hindrance? Because I am a real strong! "" I was a little resistant, but true, when we saw so many great that is not true! I do not see how my presence could hamper, "he added, telling particular have kept a rifle and a revolver in prohibited area at the age of 14. "My father died for France. I have no lesson in patriotism or resistance to receiving Mrs. Marceau, I want to look elsewhere make history, "he said. "It turns out that often those who are most in this case, are generally not always the nose clean," he added.

A closely cotillons, hangovers. The French actress Marion Cotillard, who received a César, February 22, then an Oscar, 24, for his interpretation of Edith Piaf in walker, Olivier Dahan, had to quickly come back down to earth. A few days ago, the channel Paris Premiere rediffusait an issue which had been consecrated on February 16, 2007, in which it called into question the official version of events of September 11, 2001, on behalf, she said, "the theory of the plot ". Epinglés on the site of the weekly Marianne, his words were echoed by the Anglo-Saxon media. Monday, March 3, the American press spéculait already on the career of the actress 32 years which is due to start filming the next film by Michael Mann, Public Enemies, with Johnny Depp, and has signed for Nine, a musical feature film by Rob Marshall . "It remains to be seen what effect the revelation of his opinions will have on the future of his American films," writes the daily Variety, referring to Hollywood. Tom O'Neil, columnist for The Envelope, a supplement to the Los Angeles Times, goes further. If the connection had been known before the awards ceremony, "it would have probably lost the Oscar (...), it is a foreigner who is perceived as saying anti-American," he told the Issue "Inside Edition", Monday, March 3.



"ABOUT PAST"


But the controversy may also extinguished as quickly as it was packed, as prognostic Robert Thompson, who teaches at the University of Syracuse (New York) and a specialist in popular culture, which "does not believe" that Marion Cotillard "become persona non grata in Hollywood." The sequence, which set fire to powders, was filmed on camera fist in various locations in Paris. In the catacombs, Marion Cotillard discussed with the director Xavier de Grace. There is talk of the death of Coluche. Motorcycle Accident? "I think we are ment on many things: Coluche, the 11-Sept. You can see on the Internet every film in the 11-September on the theory of conspiracy. It is exciting, addictive, even" , the actress begins. The journalist recovery. She goes on: "It was packed with gold, the towers of 11-Sept. And then it was a chasm in thunes because they were completed, it seems to me, in 1973, and to rewire everything, make time for all the technology and all, it was much more expensive to do that work to destroy them. " He added: "Does the man really walked on the moon?" I saw a lot of documentaries on this and that, really, I wonder. Anyway I believe that not everything 'I am told, that's sure. "

Counsel for the actress, Vincent Toledano, told AFP that his client "never intended to question or to challenge the attacks of September 11, 2001 and regrets the interpretation given to these About old, out of context.

7 million viewers and 27.5% audience share average,

With 7 million viewers and 27.5% audience share average, what better way to season 1 "At Maupassant" to demonstrate that the so-called "editorial" cultural shift in the public service could also make good scores? Since last year, the leaders of France Televisions are not deprived of quote, reciter and rehash the collection at the end of Norman field. They can thank the great Guy: it is probably a bit because the novelist is primarily a "visual" and writer because her stories are from the outset that télégéniques "At Maupassant" seduced.

Besides, it is one of the writers french best adapted, nearly 150 times on the big and small screen. The Rosier Madame Husson, tonight at 20 h 50 (see below), has already had a right to, toured in 1950 by Jean Boyer with Bourvil. "This time, I have done differently by placing the cursor on the female character of Madame Husson, Anne Andrei slips, scriptwriter of the 2008 opus. It's true that there is an immediacy practice in writing Maupassant. In one sentence, he portrays a situation. At the moment, I accommodate the Balzac 2009 for the collection, and it is more complicated because he plays more on the range of feelings. "

Already, the Russian director Eisenstein said that de Maupassant stories were perfect scenarios. "I would almost say that it was a filmmaker before the hour, or a painter, because what dominates his home, it's the eye," attests Jacques Bienvenu. This love of the writer and president of the Association des Amis de Maupassant has just released a letter novel and the author's striking in its bulletin "Angelus". "I like the open window of an empty room which paraded before the world, is defined Maupassant in 1889. I invite my readers to come to watch what is happening and what is happening in front of this train. Nothing more, I did nothing I can comment on anything. I say, and see if you can understand, I enlighten you with the day and not with my comments. "Who said those words evoked the definition of a camera

William Ledeuil

William Ledeuil (Kitchen Gallery, in Paris), sumptuously ignored by the Michelin several years, has seen the guide accourir awarding him the famous star. Photo credits: Le Figaro
The famous Red Guide released his 2008 edition Thursday. It is fairly predictable, with the promotion of Petit Nice in Marseille and downgrading of the Grand Véfour in Paris.
It was a time when the release of the Michelin was a real event in the world of gastronomy. Not anymore. Let's say that the world has changed. These twenty years ago, it was easy to classify gastronomy extremely hierarchical tables with its large, medium and small. Today, the situation has radically changed. For example, an excellent leader as William Ledeuil (Kitchen Gallery, in Paris), sumptuously ignored by the Michelin several years, has seen the guide accourir awarding him the famous star. The gastronomic society has evolved, the clientele as well. It is likely that some readers of the red guide will not fully tap the complexities of an Asian-inspired cuisine, and shimmering modernist served in a bistro moderne very lively. But newcomers will appreciate.


The promoted

The 2008 winners is rather thin with the promotion anyway Gérald Passédat, Petit Nice in Marseille. She leads a pole since abandoned gastronomic between Eugenie-les-Bains (Guérard) and Monte Carlo (Ducasse / Cerutti), there was no table traded at this level since the demotion of the Pourcel brothers in Montpellier. Also notable in the new star L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in Paris who becomes the most starred chef in the world (18 stars) before Ducasse (15). Two stars also rewards tables as La Bouitte, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville (73), the Pyrenees, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port (64), Le Puits-Saint Jacques, Pujaudran (43) Le domaine des Hauts de Loire in Onzain (41), L'Hostellerie de Plaisance, in Saint-Emilion (33), The Ninth Art, in Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert (42), and L'Amphitryon , in Toulouse (31). In the category of a star, it is noted among other Le Domaine de Rochevilaine, Billiers (56), the return of Jean-Marie Amat in Lormont (33), Octopus in Béziers (34), Le Peron in Marseille (13), Pur Grill, Restaurant, Kitchen Gallery Aida, Il Vino in Paris. And Buerehiesel in Strasbourg (67).


Stars flights

As regards the pleasant little chapter of demotions, there will be, unfortunately for them, not many people in protest before the withdrawal of a star at Grand Véfour in Paris, L'Auberge Bretonne, La Roche-Bernard (two to one). However, it may remain sceptical for the withdrawal of the star at Duke in Paris and La Mare aux Oiseaux in Saint-Joachim (44).

In fact, the world of gastronomy lived his life with a starry academic structure (a sort of political society) accompanied by guides and experts. And then there is a world that is more turbulent, and less disciplined paradoxical appreciated by the greedy (civil society, real life). Haute cuisine tend to be locked in a downturn expensive and aristocratic.

Jean-Marie Le Pen has denounced

Jean-Marie Le Pen has denounced Tuesday in Lille insolence "without limit" of the actress Sophie Marceau, who has left the premises of TF1 on the eve after learning that the leader of the National Front was present on the board.

"The insolence of these circles of show-biz is limitless," he said during a press conference when he was asked about the behaviour of the actress Monday night. "It's the new lordship of our time.

BIENVENUE CHEZ LES CH'TIS »

CASTING La force du film repose largement sur le capital sympathie dont bénéficient Dany Boon et Kad Merad. Leurs noms sont une double promesse de rire et leurs identités, qui jouent comme une opposition géographique (l'un pour le Nord, l'autre pour le Sud), fonctionnent en parfaite complémentarité. Le reste du générique est un dosage très équilibré de caractères, à commencer par les trois rôles féminins principaux : Zoé Félix au physique agréable et consensuel ; Anne Marivin la petite nouvelle, véritable visage de la bonne humeur ; Line Renaud surprenante et d'autant plus vraie dans le rôle qu'elle retrouve ici ses racines.

Si l'on y ajoute la bouille, craquante, du petit garçon (...), c'est mieux qu'un générique : un sans-faute.

SCENARIO Un directeur de poste, prêt à se faire passer pour handicapé dans le but de décrocher un emploi sur la Côte d'Azur, récolte finalement une mutation sanction dans le Nord où il verra tous ses préjugés s'effondrer. En imaginant cette histoire, Dany Boon, aidé d'Alexandre Charlot et Franck Magnier (deux ex-auteurs des « Guignols », également appelés en renfort sur « Astérix »), a privilégié les deux éléments clés d'une comédie à succès : d'une part l'efficacité d'une trame simple mais solidement construite, avec un habile dosage d'histoires d'amour et d'amitié ; d'autre part, un moteur comique qui a fait ses preuves (« la Chèvre », « l'Emmerdeur »...). En toile de fond, iloeuvre pour une réconciliation nationale nord-sud. C'est le côté pacifique, clairement déclaré, d'un scénario où personne n'en veut à personne. Reposant.

ESTHETIQUE Même s'il a reconstitué son bureau de poste en région parisienne - pas question d'envahir la poste de Bergues en pleine activité - Dany Boon a privilégié le naturel et l'authenticité des lieux, sans chercher à embellir quoi que ce soit. En témoignent les scènes tournées devant la baraque à frites, sur la place du beffroi. Il s'amuse même à transformer une petite cité minière désaffectée en décor ultra-délabré, propre à casser la baraque à l'office du tourisme le plus zélé. Dès qu'il le faut, Dany Boon sait aussi célébrer la beauté d'un pays qu'il aime d'amour : par des vues aériennes autour du beffroi, notamment - le monument est inscrit au Patrimoine de l'Unesco-et par des scènes nocturnes très réussies.

SYMBOLIQUE Ce n'est pas seulement le film aux 3 millions d'entrées en deux semaines, c'est aussi un film à plusieurs entrées sur ce qu'il veut exprimer. La première valorise le retour aux racines, l'amour de son pays. Et si tout le monde n'est pas ch'ti, tout le monde, ou presque, garde au fond de soi une langue intime, une terre, un patois. C'est précisément ce qui caractérise le deuxième aspect de ce film : le jeu avec la langue, ses surprises, ses trésors : un sujet d'autant plus inattendu que personne, excepté Robert Guédiguian avec « Marius et Jeannette » tourné à l'Estaque près de Marseille, n'a osé redonner son charme et ses lettres de noblesse à une expression locale.

BUDGET Le film a été produit pour 11millions d'euros, dont 2,4 millions apportés par TF 1 qui aura l'exclusivité de la première diffusion télé.

RENTABILITE Le film de Dany Boon va être une très bonne affaire. Il lui suffisait en effet de 2 millions d'entrées en salles pour amortir son coût de production. Or, « les Ch'tis » s'avancent vers les 5millions d'entrées à la vitesse grand V, et peuvent viser les 10 millions de spectateurs. La sortie du DVD, fin août, s'annonce d'ores et déjà comme un carton.

« ASTÉRIX AUX JEUX OLYMPIQUES »
CASTING Le quatuor central ressemble à un pack d'avants version Chabal. Dans le rôle d'Astérix, Clovis Cornillac part, en prime, avec un atout de poids : il ressemble nettement plus au petit Gaulois que Christian Clavier. Depuis le début, Gérard Depardieu est idéal en Obélix. En Brutus, Benoît Poelvoorde promet de ne pas arrêter son char. Quant àAlain Delon s'autoparodiant en César, voilà quimérite qu'on lui tresse des lauriers. La suite du générique est un savant jeu de construction avec ses failles : des acteurs embauchés ici et là pour leur notoriété (Frank Dubosc, Elie Semoun, Dany Brillant, Francis Lalanne...) mais peu présents à l'écran ; un soupirant, Alafolix, curieusement interprété par un Canadien (Stéphane Rousseau) ; des inconnus venus de toute l'Europe en phase avec la sortie du film dans plusieurs pays ; enfin, un éventail de guests stars sans vrai rôle - Zinedine Zidane, Jamel Debbouze, Michael Schumacher, Amélie Mauresmo... - dont la seule présence est d'attiser la curiosité des spectateurs. Plus qu'un générique, une stratégie.

SCENARIO Qui, du gentil Alafolix ou du mal dégrossi Brutus, fils de César, épousera la princesse Irina (Vanessa Hessler), ravissante fille du roi des Grecs ? La réponse dépendra de leurs performances aux Jeux d'Olympie. Sur cette base, Thomas Langmann, Olivier Dazat mais aussi Alexandre Charlot et Franck Magnier, tous deux également cosignataires des « Ch'tis », n'ont guère fait preuve d'imagination. Ils développent une histoire linéaire, sans aspérités ni vrais gags. C'est l'exemple même du scénario minimaliste qu'un gros déploiement d'effets spéciaux et d'acteurs ne parvient pas à étoffer.

ESTHETIQUE Place à la folie des grandeurs : grands espaces en Andalousie, dans la région d'Alicante ; décors géants, à côté desquels ceux de Cinecitta font pauvres ; méthodes radicales pour détruire un décor qui déplaît et en reconstruire un autre aussitôt (la piste olympique, trop petite pour la course de chevaux, a été multipliée par trois). A cela s'ajoute une accumulation d'effets spéciaux : 1 300 au total contre 800 initialement prévus. « Astérix aux Jeux olympiques » est un produit fabriqué à la manière de Hollywood. L'artifice l'emporte sur le naturel. Tout est conçu pour être spectacle et, selon l'expression familière, « en mettre plein la vue » au spectateur.

SYMBOLIQUE Le film de Thomas Langmann est à vocation européenne. C'est une énorme marmite dans laquelle se dilue tout ce que les Gaulois, pourtant représentatifs de la fameuse « exception culturelle » française, pouvaient avoir d'authentique et de révolté. L'accent est mis sur l'apparence et le côté « blingbling » affirmé du générique. Sous prétexte de plaire aux enfants, il a raboté ses aspects humains. Ce parti pris débouche sur un produit cinématographique formaté pour plaire aux différents publics d'Europe.

BUDGET Près de 100millions d'euros dont 21 consacrés au marketing et à la promotion. TF 1 a apporté 1 million d'euros en part de coproduction. Les droits d'antenne sont fixés à 3 millions mais peuvent évoluer en fonction du nombre d'entrées : à plus de 6millions de spectateurs, la Une versera 4millions d'euros ; à dix, elle paiera 5 millions d'euros.

RENTABILITE De l'aveu même de son producteur, Thomas Langmann, il faut à ce troisième volet d'Astérix un minimum de 10 millions d'entrées en France. Il est désormais certain que ce chiffre ne sera jamais atteint. Langmann peut cependant compter sur les chiffres européens et, bien sûr, sur la sortie du DVD dans six mois. Sur une base de 10 millions de spectateurs, il fallait vendre 1 million de DVD.

Reorganization at TF1, Laurent Storch appointed head of programmes
Nonce Paolini, the operator of TF1, has announced that Laurent Storch, currently deputy director of the antenna, took over as head of programmes. The appointment follows the resignation on Tuesday morning Takis Candilis, deputy director general of the division, who joined the group Lagardere. A reorganization necessary while the audience share of TF1 continues to crumble, even though the chain remains the most popular.

Takis Candilis, deputy director general of TF1 responsible for programmes, resigned from his post after a series of poor hearing
"TF1 Takis Candilis thanked for his nine years of very valuable collaboration.'s New responsibilities will continue a fruitful partnership between groups Lagardere and TF1, especially in the field of fiction," can be read in the press release sent by the group TF1 to 17 hours. A communiqué expected and that ends the suspense that prevailed since the end of the morning after the blog Jean-Marie Morandini has revealed the resignation of Takis Candilis from his post as assistant general manager of programs. This information confirmed by TF1, had not been commented on and it is a press release sent by Lagardere, which announced the arrival of resigning within its walls. TF1 remained silent.

The group eventually break his silence with a press release entitled "Organization of the Department of Antenna (excluding Info and Sport)." It stipulates that "Nonce Paolini, Executive Director of TF1, reorganizes the Department of Antenna TF1 in the wake of the departure of Takis Candilis for group Lagardere."

An internal reorganization because it is the current Deputy Director General of the antenna, Laurent Storch, who has been appointed Director of Programs. The announcement also indicated that "Jean-François Lancelier, Deputy Director General of the antenna in charge of programming, marketing, distribution, artistic director and compliance programs, continuing its missions with the assistance of Elisabeth Durand, Fabrice Mollier, Eric Jaouen, David Sedel and Olivia Assas. also continues to oversee the programming of channels of the group. "

On TF1, Takis Candilis has held positions as head of drama (1999-2006), then as Deputy Director-General in charge of domestic production activities (2003-2006), then chairman of TF1 Production (2003-2006) and finally as Deputy Director-General in charge of programs.

His departure is undoubtedly linked directly to the continuing decline of hearings on TF1. In February, the chain has indeed recorded its fourth consecutive decline. Its audience share was 31.8% in October 2007. She fell to 27.5% in February, according to the figures published by Médiamétrie. But this erosion makes it did not lose its leadership position in the most popular chain of PAF.

The "JT" 20h

According to figures provided by Médiamétrie, the great mass of daily information also losing ground. While in 2004, JT TF1 comprised 40.6% audience share, it meets 39.3% in 2007, a decrease of 1.3 percentage points over this period. But in front at France 2, the television news competitor recedes further. It represents 22.3% of hearings in 2007 against 24.6% three years earlier. But the downturn in the JT TF1 is relative given the 9.4 million French newspaper after 20 hours, compared with 5.3 million for France 2. This decline is linked to the other news channels on cable and TNT.

The programs in prime time which was, inter alia, responsible Takis Candilis, come mostly at the top of hearings. But it is largely through the American series, as "experts", bringing together an average of more than 8 million viewers, with about 30% audience share. However, it must be noted that when it comes to French fictions produced by the channel itself, the hearings spoils. The most resounding defeat was one of the series "The Hospital", modelled on American fiction "Grey's Anatomy" and scheduled for last September. The first episode that had attracted 4.6 and 4.2 million viewers.

Takis Candilis no secret of his desire to compete fairly with these American series that have carved the lion's share in terms of audience. Most recently, he had recruited Canadian André Béraud as artistic director of fiction. "We must break the ronron in which we all. Fiction today is 20 years old. Today, the competition is greater, we must relearn how to tell stories," he said in a recent interview.

As for TV shows, the audience gathered by the Star Académy has also eroded over the years and the seventh season that ended early this year has sometimes been overtaken in terms of audience with a series American broadcast on M6, "NCIS." To renew the genre, Takis Candilis had relied on "Kilimanjaro, beyond the limits" showing the rise on a daily basis by the massive Tanzanian ten people with disabilities. Released last Friday, the program sold as an innovative and promising direction by the first channel had received only 16.8% audience share, even slipping to third place ...

On the occasion of the announcement of the group's annual results, Nonce Paolini, the new CEO of TF1 since May 2007, decided to capitalize on new media, including the Internet, which it wants to place "at the heart" of its offer. He then stressed the need for increased "bounces between our branches, the Web and mobile television tomorrow."

In 2007, the group TF1 reported a net income (group share), down 49.7% to 227.8 million when forecasts tablaient instead on a profit of 242.6 million euros. At 1.02 billion euros in 2007, the cost of the grid fell by 3.4%. Advertising revenues on the other hand have grown by only 0.6%. But advertisers will invest where the TV. And they are turning more towards channels TNT where the hearing is progressing continuously, when it is falling on the general channels. An equation hearing / advertising which makes estimates advertising revenue complicated.

At the Paris Bourse, the TF1 has lost 3.31% just below 15 euros, closing at 14.89 euros exactly.

The television audience in February issued Monday evening by Médiamétrie

TF1, the private channel, France 2 beats whose audience share has stagnated at 18.3%. Then followed France 3, which like TF1 lost 0.5 points audience between January and February this year. M6, in fourth position, collecting 10.7% audience share and sells 0.1 point. France 5, it is stable with an audience share of 5.9%. And then Canal Plus she earns about 0.5 points with 3.8% and finally Arte whose share registers a slight decline of 0.3 percentage points to 2.7% audience share.

The other channels listed on the digital terrestrial television (DTT) free meet together for an audience share of 10.1%, up 1.2 percentage points compared to January (8.9%). New entrants of DTT (thematic channels, local, interactive ...) and continue the progress already recorded in January compared to December 2007. So much so that a total of the category "Other TV" (which brings together the two groups cited précemment) recorded 22.4% audience share compared with 14.7% in February of last year.
