The actor and filmmaker recently reflected on his early career experiences and shared his thoughts on the future of the arts. He recalled his first interview, which took place in 1995 with Serge Kaganski for Les Inrocks, a French cultural magazine. At the time, the interview coincided with the release of two films: N’oublie pas que tu vas mourir by Xavier Beauvois and En avoir (ou pas) by Lætitia Masson. These films marked a significant moment in French cinema and highlighted the artist's early engagement with meaningful storytelling. When asked about a standout work from the last forty years, the artist chose Do the Right Thing by Spike Lee. This 1989 film is celebrated for its bold exploration of race relations in America and remains a defining piece of modern cinema. The artist emphasized that while Do the Right Thing is a strong example, many other works from the past few decades also deserve recognition for their cultural impact and artistic merit. On the topic of leading the cultural battle, the artist believes that maintaining freedom in creation and continuing to take risks are essential. He sees these values as crucial for the evolution of art and for challenging societal norms. His perspective reflects a commitment to innovation and authenticity in creative expression. What excites the artist today is the growing strength and visibility of minority voices in culture. He noted that minorities are no longer passive; they are actively asserting their rights and refusing to be marginalized. This shift, he believes, is reshaping the cultural landscape and inspiring new forms of artistic and social engagement.
