Bertrand Blier's Film Echoes Sacha Guitry's Televisual Cinema
Bertrand Blier's 1993 film "Un, deux, trois, soleil!" draws parallels with the cinematic approach of Sacha Guitry. Despite Guitry's disdain for cinema, he participated in the early days of television, delivering the inaugural speech for the new RTF studios. Both directors create characters who distance themselves from their own actions, doubling to observe themselves and auto-commentating as they transform into images. Blier, like Guitry, incorporates television aesthetics into cinema.
