«On stage or in front of the camera, Guitry is always – even, especially – himself, despite makeup and wigs. The dialogues are made by himself (does a Guitry’s touch exist? Of course it does, he was the French version of Lubitsch, according to Truffaut), as well as the elegance of the aphorism, the aristocratic posture, the unmistakable style, the scenic taste, even when it comes to real, recognizable, imitable characters. As if, in that body and in those words, there were always together past and present, History, reality and theater. »
