What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Pierre Brasseur almost solely through one role: Frédérick Lemaître in Les Enfants du paradis1. These mentions are brief. They recur between 2017 and 2021 in very different sessions: one devoted to Marcel Griaule, an interview, a reflection on amnesia and two sessions of the Musicosophie cycle, on Nietzsche against Wagner and then on Mozart2. He notably recalls the scene in which the character of Lemaître mocks the demand for emotion3. He also notes the thunderous voice Brasseur gives the actor he plays4. He mentions in passing that he is Claude Brasseur's father5. The passages say nothing further about his acting or his career. Brasseur appears in them as the performer of a theatrical figure, cited as an example or reference in the course of the talk.
