It has been a band of great children who enjoyed having a cultural tool accessible to all. The mission was beautiful and crazy. To serve it and do not betray it, Marcel Bluwal dared to slam the doors, pass for a “big mouth”, say “shit” to certain patterns of chains. At his side, the directors Claude Barma, Stellio Lorenzi, Claude Santelli, Claude Lorsais played a concert. A band of idealists carrying their dreams at the height of the real.
Anxious to interest the viewers to these classics who had so much bored during his years of study, Marcel Bluwal led with an infinite care Molière and Marivaux, Beaumarchais, Dostoyevski , Victor Hugo … in the homes. He dreamed of being a film stage. He became a pioneer of television, to which he donated his intelligence for sixty years. Between other evidence remained unparalleled: the adaptation of the Molière DOM Juan. Marcel Bluwal died Saturday, October 23 at the age of 96, in Paris, announced his agent at the France-Presse agency.
Unique son of Henri and Eda Bluwal, Polish Jews immigrants in France in 1924, Le Petit Marcel was born on May 25, 1925 in the 12 e Arrondissement de Paris. His father is maneuver at Renault and then used the scriptures in a furniture factory. The family lives modestly. But in the Bluwal, we do not miss anything. At home, in the middle of the books and around the piano, reigns a fairly “artist” atmosphere. Father reads French, Russian, Polish and German.
Poulbot the day, dragging with the friends and firing cinemas (a revelation), the little Marcel is dressed “of own” in the evening to accompany his parents in the restaurants of Montparnasse, “the dome” or “the dome” where they join the painters of the surreal movement. In 1936, the Popular Front is in power and the young bluwal discovers the joys of the municipal library. He devours the books, is passionate about these “stories’ assessors” who, will he think later, have gone to him the desire to become a director.
Educted at the communal, secular and republican school, raised in a family for whom France is the country of freedom and paris “the most beautiful city in the world”, the little bluwal does not have, according to its own terms, “a very awake Jewish consciousness”. The rise of anti-Semitism, the declaration of war from France to Germany, the German invasion, the occupation, the port of the mandatory yellow star for the Jews will take over. “From there, Marcel Bluwal decades later, we had to understand that we were the excrement of the earth.” The day before the trap of the Vel’d’hiv, in 1942, a neighbor warns EDA Bluwal. The mother and the son then find refuge with their piano teacher where, for two years, they will live hidden in a closed and narrow room.
