Jean Yanne

biography:
Jean Gouyé, dit Jean Yanne, né le 18 juillet 1933 aux Lilas et mort le 23 mai 2003 à Morsains, est un acteur, humoriste, écrivain, réalisateur, chanteur, producteur et compositeur français.

Amuseur provocateur satirique, parodique et parfois absurde, esprit anticonformiste au ton gouailleur, il se fait d'abord connaître à travers des sketchs ou numéros de chansonnier au cabaret, à la radio et à la télévision, se créant un personnage de râleur «à qui on ne la fait pas», puis en tant qu'animateur. Son impertinence lui vaut plusieurs renvois des médias et divise les Français. Passant à la mise en scène, il brocarde sur grand écran les sujets de société et les hypocrisies de l'époque: ses superproductions Tout le monde il est beau, tout le monde il est gentil (1972), Moi y'en a vouloir des sous (1973), Les Chinois à Paris (1974) et Deux heures moins le quart avant Jésus-Christ (1982) remportent de larges succès.

En tant qu'acteur de cinéma, outre de nombreux seconds rôles remarqués et quelques comédies en tête d'affiche comme Erotissimo (1969), il surprend par son incursion dans le drame avec Que la bête meure (1969) et Le Boucher (1970) de Claude Chabrol puis Nous ne vieillirons pas ensemble (1971) de Maurice Pialat, ou encore sous la direction de Jean-Luc Godard et Claude Lelouch; il y donne un côté sombre, voire inquiétant à son rôle habituel de «beauf» bourru, vachard et individualiste. Pour Nous ne vieillirons pas ensemble, il obtient le prix d'interprétation masculine du festival de Cannes en 1972.

Il est également un sociétaire historique de l'émission Les Grosses Têtes de Philippe Bouvard sur RTL pendant vingt ans, retrouvant son complice Jacques Martin.

Jean Gouyé est le deuxième fils d'André Gouyé, ouvrier-lithographe avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, puis ébéniste, auprès de son frère en 1945. Sa mère, Aimée Bonabeaux (1913-2002) est couturière chez des grands couturiers, notamment chez Jeanne Lanvin.

Les Gouyé, Gouyet, Gouyer sont à l'origine une famille de sabotiers qui, au XVIIIe siècle, habitent la forêt de Mayenne. Gouyé veut dire «petite mare». Son grand père paternel, originaire de Liffré (Ille-et-Vilaine), quitte la Bretagne pour Paris.

Au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la famille de Jean Yanne est expédiée par son père à Celles-sur-Belle. Il y séjourne jusqu'en 1943, car son père est prisonnier en Allemagne et détenu dans un camp de travail. Ensuite, Jean Yanne effectue ses études aux Lilas dans l'enseignement primaire catholique, puis au collège. Il est renvoyé en sixième du lycée Turgot en 1945 et il entre au lycée Chaptal où il obtient le brevet d’études du premier cycle du second degré (BEPC) et participe à une activité théâtre. Il décide alors de ne pas poursuivre ses études et commence un apprentissage d'ébéniste chez son oncle, qu'il quitte rapidement, car ce dernier n'a pas les moyens de le rémunérer. ...

title: Le radeau de la Méduse

overview: Iranian Iradj Azimi directed this French historical drama re-creating events depicted in the famous 1819 painting The Raft of the Medusa by Jean Louis Andre Theodore Gericault (1791-1824). The ill-fated voyage of the frigate Medusa begins when it departs Rochefort for Senegal in 1816. After striking a sandbar off the African coast, 150 civilians row safely to shore, but Captain Chaumareys (Jean Yanne) orders 140 soldiers and sailors onto a raft (minus supplies) and has it cut loose. Only 14 survive from the 140, creating a scandal back in France. Gericault (Laurent Terzieff) later talks to three of the survivors while researching his painting. Work on this film began in 1987, but sets destroyed by Hurricane Hugo caused delays, so the film was not completed until 1990. However, it then remained undistributed until an incident in which writer-director Azimi slashed his wrists in front of French Ministry of Culture officials.

title: Morceaux de Cannes

overview: We thought we'd seen, read, and heard everything there was to see about the Cannes Film Festival, from the glitz and gossip to the scandals and censorship. And yet, Emmanuel Barnault's "Morceaux de Cannes" (Pieces of Cannes), by this leading expert on Italian and French cinema, convinces us otherwise. The third largest event in the world (after the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup) reveals its secrets only sparingly, as this film attests. The result of passionate research in the INA archives, these 52 minutes, without interviews or voice-over narration, string together rare and sometimes previously unseen footage. Taken together, they tell a surprising, original, and heartwarming story of the Festival. On the beach, on a street corner, in a restaurant, or in the privacy of a hotel room, these forgotten archives summon the greatest filmmakers, actors, and actresses of the last seventy years, from Jean Cocteau to David Lynch, for an anthology of the Festival's history.
