Ceux de chez nous

Jul 08, 1915
«Je rêvais d'une encyclopédie nouvelle ». Sacha Guitry a réuni,«selon ses goûts» les plus grandes personnalités de son temps, au nombre de onze. Il les filme «dans leurs attitudes les plus familières, c'est-à-dire au travail, chaque fois que cela fut possible». On y voit André Antoine (aux côtés de Henri Desfontaines et Jane Faber), Sarah Bernhardt, Edgar Degas, Anatole France, Octave Mirbeau, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir (avec à ses côtés son jeune fils Claude Renoir), Henri-Robert, Auguste Rodin, Edmond Rostand, Camille Saint-Saëns. La version muette de 1915 durait 22 minutes. Elle était destinée à être projetée accompagnée d'une «causerie familiale faite par l'auteur, avec le concours de Charlotte Lysès». La présentation a lieu en novembre 1915 au théâtre des Variétés. En 1939, Guitry en fit une version sonorisée.
