Bertrand Blier Masterclass

Institut français du Royaume-Uni

Long Edit

8 February 2011

The provocative French director talks about his rich and varied career, focusing notably on_ Préparez vos mouchoirs_ (1978) and discusses his approach to filmmaking and directing favourite actors such as Gérard Depardieu whom he collaborated with eight times. Scriptwriter for all his films, nonconformist and iconoclast, Bertrand Blier quickly developed a unique style capable of handling provocation, black humour and the absurd. In his latest film, The Clink of Ice, Blier has taken the taboo subject of cancer and addressed it head on, continuing his tradition of controversial and provocative subject matter.

Bertrand Blier was in conversation with Dr Sue Harris (Queen Mary University of London) who has published a monograph, Bertrand Blier (MUP, 2001). The masterclass has been illustrated with film clips.

I hate those people on the tube, with their smug little noses in their smug little ereaders, while my poor finger muscles are exhausting themselves over bits of paper (bits of what?) and having to use two hands to get a story into my brain whilst juggling my bag and my coat and my book and my jealousy.

However, Culturethèque requires that I pass on some useful information. So I will, magnanimously, conceal my green-eyed anger with my reading spectacles, and get to the point.Do you need a recipe? We've got a whole section just for cook books.
