Jean-Claude Brialy, l'homme qui voulait tant être aimé(2014)
Like a “Rastignac” who arrived in Paris alone and against his family's wishes, he eventually realized his dream of becoming a popular actor, albeit at the cost of some disillusionment. He was the confidant of stars and collected friendships like precious objects. This witty dandy, this socialite who dabbled in everything, cultivated bon mots in the glittering world of Paris, in theater, cinema, and television. He had been a star in the 1960s, the male muse of the New Wave, and went on to play numerous roles and make countless appearances. He was known by everyone and knew everyone. But who really knew Jean-Claude Brialy and his inner turmoil? His friends and loved ones, including his brother, who speaks for the first time in this documentary, reveal the true personality of this man who, throughout his life, sought to be loved and recognized.
