President of the Revelation jury at the Deauville festival, Mélanie Thierry has established herself for several years as a miraculous actress, who radiates on film. Meeting on the boards of Deauville.

« I want chicken ».
Mélanie Thierry: It was my first line in an advert, I must have been 13 years old. You have to start well! I don’t know if that guided my career… It was a chance opportunity offered to me and my mother’s desire to offer me a different destiny. But I never told myself that this might be a possible future…

How long have you been a model?
It was quite brief, I would say four years. With certain photographers like Peter Lindbergh or Paolo Roversi, it was something other than making fashion or selling clothes. Besides, I never sold clothes, I had neither the dimensions nor the proportions. I was a small child in a world where I had nothing to do. Perhaps I was selling youth, an emotion.

You started cinema around fifteen years old ?
I have no knowledge of this environment, I am not from the inner circle, I do not have the codes, I am not a bourgeoise. As I am curious and persevering, I met some great people and there were things that spoke to me.

And the theater?
I’ve done very little, but I have a passion for theater. I started at 20 years old in Crime and Punishment, directed by Robert Hossein, but for some, Hossein was too popular. I had never been to the theater in my life! I thought it was going to be the start of everything for me but I didn’t know that people in the business looked down on Robert’s shows. Then I did The Old Blonde Jewby Amanda Sthers, a wonderful show with Jacques Weber, and finally Baby Dollwith Xavier Gallais.

there is a before and an following Pain ?
Yes. This film is an encounter with a role and a director. Meeting Emmanuel Finkiel was obvious; there was a real symbiosis between us. He liked to film me, I understood where he was taking me. We had already shot I’m not a bastard and I loved his way of working. My admiration for him only grew. The film is magnificent.

It continued with the series In therapy and the film by the Larrieu brothers, Tralala.
I loved these experiences. I’m growing up, I’m finally letting go of the image of Lolita that was attached to me and which had become a burden, as if I didn’t have the right to be anything else. But there are years when you can refuse a film, others not. Now I can deploy myself, I like how the directors envision me. For In therapy, which we shot very quickly, I had not at all anticipated when the emotion would come out. Sometimes the emotion overwhelmed me because there was no longer any control.

You are president of the jury at the Deauville festival.
We have an eclectic selection with rich, different proposals. We are immersed in America, its splendor, its neuroses, its eccentricities, with young directors, many of whom are women. Me, I’m rather old school and my tastes take me towards Ernst Lubitsch, Billy Wilder, George Cukor… I like champagne bubble comedies.

And your American experiences?
There weren’t that many of them. I am well aware of not having acted in the best films of Spike Lee or Terry Gilliam, but I loved being part of one of their creations, of having had this moment of life with them.

Mélanie Thierry will soon be on screens in Suddenly alone of Thomas Bidegain, et Captives by Arnaud des Pallières, presented in Deauville.

The exhibition 2 ¼ by Trois-Rivières photographer Robert Myrand will be presented at Factrie 701 from September 9. An opening in the presence of the artist will take place on September 10 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

“I am a photographer by default and by taste. By default knowing how to sing, dance or draw. And out of a taste for magic because at one time, photography was really magic! We put a sheet in the developer and the image appeared,” underlines Robert Myrand.

“I was working in an office, then frankly I was bored and I was thinking what might I do to express myself… I stopped at photography since there is both an artistic and a scientific side that interested me. So I decided to sell my tank and buy a 2 ¼ camera, then take photos,” he laughs. This is how, in 1969, Robert Myrand began his career as a photographer.

His first camera was therefore a 2 ¼ film. This camera had the particularities of having two lenses, as well as a large film (120 mm).

He says he recently acquired a new 2 ¼ camera. “In April 2023, I bought a new 2 ¼ camera and it’s very funny since it’s a plastic camera made in Hong Kong with a Russian lens. He adds, as the device is plastic, it lets light in from everywhere [d’autant plus que son objectif est de plastique aussi], we therefore accentuate the defects. Here, we are not looking for precision. Since I do black and white, we are more looking for shades of gray.”

(Photo courtoisie – Robert Myrand)

Its exhibition thus brings together photographs captured by this new camera, as well as around ten 35mm shots forming a sort of retrospective. “The last image presented, we call it Modern Life and it’s digital.”

At 75 years old, Robert Myrand recognizes that there were more difficult times in his career as a photographer, which is why he was also a printer, translator and teacher. The fact remains that the Trifluvien has participated in more than 80 exhibitions in Quebec and elsewhere in the world. Several of his photographs are also part of the collections of the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec, the City of Trois-Rivières and several others.

His exhibition 2 ¼ takes place at Factrie 701 throughout the month of September as part of Photo Month. For more information, visit the Factrie 701 website.

The account is not there. Here is the content of the latest observatory from Arcep, the telecoms regulator, concerning the deployment of fiber networks in France. In this study published this Thursday, the institution chaired by Laure de La Raudière has a new rant. She notes a worrying drop in the pace of deployments by Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free. Arcep does not specify it, but it is the objective of “fiber for all” in 2025, promised by Emmanuel Macron, which seems to be moving away.

According to Arcep, 36.2 million premises can now be connected to fiber, out of the 43.8 million identified. In total, 83% of French people can benefit from this technology in the second quarter, two points more than in the previous quarter. But this is not enough, insists the regulator. “During the second quarter, 870,000 additional premises were made connectable to fiber, i.e. 20% less than over the same period of the previous year”he specifies.

“Fall of deployment”

Arcep deplores, in particular, “deployment fall” in cities and moderately dense areas. In these territories that Orange and SFR should have already covered in full, only 130,000 premises have been made connectable, “a drop of half compared to the same period last year”. “We have to go back to 2014 to observe such weak quarterly progress in these areas”adds the regulator.

The other problem concerns so-called “very dense” areas, in short, large cities and the outskirts of large cities. Here too, the pace of deployments “remains very insufficient”. Arcep counted 50,000 new connectable premises, “a drop of almost half compared to the same period last year”. The problem is that in these territories, Orange SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free have, to date, no deployment obligation…

Towards a new agreement with operators?

The matter is being closely monitored by the government. The executive is negotiating today with operators to ensure that the promise of a fully fiber-enabled France in 2025 is kept. It does not exclude, in passing, sanctioning certain operators. Orange is particularly in its sights, to the extent that the operator has not respected its coverage commitments in moderately dense areas.
