After making the boards of French theater and cinema tremble, Robert Hossein opens the doors to his heart for us. With complete sincerity, he pays tribute to all those who saw him grow, โto all those who allowed me to be on stage.โ Itโs the story of his life, an act of love towards his audience to whom he confides without restraint. โWithout the audience, I would never have experienced all these insane things,โ he confesses.
Far from the major productions he has accustomed us to, Pour vous avoir beaucoup aimรฉsโฆ paints a precise picture of a life filled with joys, sorrows, and disappointments. Against a romantic backdrop, Hossein pays tribute to all those he loved and who returned that love. His parents, his friends: Frรฉdรฉric Dard, Roger Vadim, Daniel Gรฉlin, Francis Huster, Jean-Claude Brialy, Brigitte Bardot, and many othersโฆ
All his lifeโฆ
The title of his one-man show is written in the past tense and sounds like a farewell. But donโt be mistaken, despite being 80 years old, Robert Hossein is already talking about his next production. โWeโre working on something never seen before!โ It is with the same liveliness and humor that the actor describes his show, which he swears is โtotally improvised.โ But behind the comedian, there is a man sometimes fragile, often moved to tears, and troubled by his own mortality: โsurely, I donโt have much time left.โ
The show overflows with the adventures of a character with disarming sincerity who admits to still being โterrified with stage fright.โ He reveals to the audience his many lives as a comedian, actor, and director. To a nostalgic tune, shifting from laughter to tears, he recounts his childhood spent in boarding schools, the tragic disappearance of his wife on their wedding day, his admiration for Princess Grace Kellyโฆ A mix of anecdotes both funny and tragic. The show is punctuated by a parade of films and photos on a giant screen of all the characters who have marked his life โand God knows it was not ordinary.โ
