Vincent Perez: Zen of cinematic
The term "interview" originates from the French word "entrevue," which means "to see each other." Indeed, a profound interview has the power to provide insight, and seeing someone often leads to appreciation and an expansion of consciousness.
A well-conducted interview can unveil the hidden treasures within oneself and inspire a leap of faith.
Each of us possesses an inner treasure, and Vincent Perez is no exception. His depth of perception and emotional resonance with events are truly remarkable.
From this interview, you'll discover that we're not merely in the presence of an ordinary actor, but rather a genuine philosopher.
Vincent Perez, a Swiss actor and director, has shared the screen with legendary actors such as Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Adjani, Kim Basinger, and Gérard Depardieu. However, he is most widely recognized for his portrayal of "Fafan Tita," a role where even Sophie Marceau herself had to campaign for.
Perez recently visited Georgia to film a commercial in Borjomi. His partner in this endeavor, no less esteemed than the aforementioned stars, was Tina Dalakishvili, who enchanted Perez with the magical tales of Borjomi. Perez himself acknowledges the depth of this project, stating:
"I came here for an advertisement, but this venture delves into the profound roots of Georgia."
As much as a person can delve into their own depths, they perceive the external world with the same profundity. Vincent Perez embodies this principle.
"When there's a sense, it's about me."
Perez was deeply moved by the Ensemble Rustavi concert:
"The vigor of these dancers still resonates within me, and I wish for it to linger indefinitely... I was moved to tears; it was profoundly authentic."
At times, we learn more about our own country through the eyes of our guests. Guests illuminate what is valuable, what requires nurturing, and what is uniquely ours yet scarce elsewhere. Perez also offers insights:
"Here, I feel an authenticity that nourishes my spirit. It's akin to water; essential for sustenance. That's why I'm drawn here. Maintaining a connection with one's roots is crucial. In many places, this connection is lost, resulting in a loss of identity."
Perez intends to introduce Georgia to his friends soon, and there's a possibility of utilizing its scenic beauty as a filming location. He was particularly drawn to Svetitskhoveli, not only for its architectural splendor but also for its inherent power. Perez observes, perceives, and immerses himself fully in experiences.
Perhaps, this is the essence of a true creator: to embrace life fully, to engage in internal contemplation, and to give birth to new forms of expression. It's akin to a struggle, where numerous obstacles must be overcome before a new creation can emerge — a struggle Perez himself articulates.
This interview promises to serve as a wellspring of inspiration for creators, actors, and directors alike.
Vincent Perez is undeniably a master of his craft. Discover why in this insightful interview.
