Touching, funny, personal, professional, romantic – Denis Podalydès’s memories are as varied as they are unexpected. Together, they form this fragmented self-portrait. From childhood to adulthood, his grandmother’s bookshop to the office of a Minister of Culture, holidays in Brittany to the family apartment in Versailles, Jacques Higelin to Michel Leiris, Corneille to Maurice Pialat… Denis Podalydès, in tones hushed or larger than life, tells us about the most important moments of his life as a man and an artist. Actor, director, playwright, and member of the Comédie-Française, Denis Podalydès is the author of several books, among them Voix-off, awarded the Femina Prize in 2008.
