Mathieu Amalric's Shift Towards Less Public Projects

This article discusses French actor and director Mathieu Amalric's decision to move away from the spotlight, preferring smaller, more intimate artistic projects.

Recent Documentary Work

Amalric recently directed documentaries about:

  • The Emerson String Quartet's final concert ('Avant qu’il ne soit trop tard')
  • American saxophonist John Zorn (a trilogy: Zorn I, II, and III)

These choices reflect his desire for less media exposure.

Reason for the Change

Amalric's aversion to excessive media attention is cited as the driving force behind his decision. Despite his extensive film and television career (including notable titles like 'Rois et Reine,' 'Le scaphandre et le papillon,' and 'Le bureau des légendes'), he has deliberately sought quieter artistic pursuits.

D’abord, Mathieu Amalric a refusé cette interview. Trop d’exposition médiatique l’empêche de respirer, déclare-t-il. C’est d’ailleurs pour cette raison, ajoute-t-il, comme pour ne pas froisser, qu’il a décidé, après avoir tourné une centaine de films – Rois et Reine, Le scaphandre et le papillon, La Vénus à la fourrure, Le grand bain, etc. – et de séries (notamment Le bureau des légendes) de s’engager sur des chemins artistiques plus confidentiels. En 2023, il a filmé le dernier concert d’un quatuor à cordes, The Emerson String Quartet, pour en tirer un documentaire, Avant qu’il ne soit trop tard. Cet été, il est allé engranger des images du saxophoniste américain John Zorn, qu’il suit depuis quatorze ans, de répétitions en concerts, qui ont permis la création de trois documentaires, Zorn I, II et III.
