Jacques Dutronc, in his home in Corsica, compares life to a cigar and then evokes his connection with journalists. Ironically, he describes himself as an unfinished artist.
Jacques DUTRONC returns to his role in Maurice Pialat’s film "Van Gogh". For him, the film did not receive any award at Cannes but it has the merit of being very well received by the public, and by different personalities of the cinema like Gérard Depardieu or Leos Carax. He then describes his first exchanges with Pialat and concludes by saying that his only condition for accepting this role was not to have to paint.
Jacques DUTRONC responds to an improvised interview by his lyricist Jacques LANZMANN. The questions are at least existential: "what is life?" , "what is there after death" "would you sing in a confessional" would you agree to go to the Moon".
Interviewed, Jacques DUTRONC says of his musical tastes. What I like the most is middle jazz, the big jazz bands, everything that Charlie Parker did I like very much, and then in classical it’s Ravel".
Françoise HARDY and Jacques DUTRONC are interviewed at the maternity clinic after the birth of their son Thomas. The baby is in his mother’s arms. Jacques DUTRONC believes that they will not change the way they live: "We are not going to change everything for him. It’s up to him to get used to our life". He goes on to say: "It does change a lot of things, I will have to go and smoke the cigar elsewhere", while he is smoking in the room. The couple does not want their son to participate in their public life. About the transmission of his "girl trap", Jacques DUTRONC answers with humour: "I wanted to sell it... he (Thomas) will use it, it is not rusty. I won’t be that old when he uses it... we can work it out".
