The actor is on the poster “promises”, with Isabelle Huppert, a feature film that explores the springs of politics, in full presidential campaign. Without boasting itself of being a specialist, he willingly evokes his relationship to wine, made of souvenirs and favorites.

In the promises, the film by Thomas Kruithof, released on January 26, the actor Reda Kateb embodies a director of the Mayor’s cabinet of a city of Seine-Saint-Denis, performed by Isabelle Huppert. Revealed in a prophet (2009), Jacques Audiard, he played in dozens of films, including Hippocrates, Django, the song of the wolf, and television series as exciting as possession or therapy. He will soon turn in Algeria Omar the strawberry with director Elias Belkeddar. Accompanied (always) of his dog, Paulo, a Yorkshire and Fox-Terrier cross, Reda Kateb, Montreuillois 45 years born in Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne), evokes politics and wine, that he likes to taste “without being specialist”, he warns.
In “Promises”, you refuse to drink Vinho Verde during a working lunch with the mayor but you agree to Moult glasses of a life during a feast of the Serbian community. Personal taste or effect of the scenario?
The scenario of course but it is true that for a real work lunch, I am rather sparkling water. For the Serbian evening, as it was the last scene to turn, we made a kind of end of filming party. The beautiful band of Serbs welcomed us in the cafe and we tasted this eau-de-vie well.
Do you like wine?
Without being a connoisseur, I like. A little glass of red in the evening. My first wine approach was at age 17, when I was a student in the Sorbonne. I was hood at harvest in Château Margaux, in the Médoc. This meeting with the work of the earth remains a good memory even if I came out with the broken back. There were corner peasants, backpackers, students, a mixed diversity and I find in Montreuil. I loved the break, around 10 o’clock, with the pie of the Landes, the glass of red – from Margaux castle anyway …
In my adolescence, my mother is part of living next to Bordeaux. She bought wine in Cubi, Saint-Emilion, to put it in bottles. It was their table wine. The family taste was a lot of two seas, Médoc, serious, but these wines have a little disgusted, with a woody strong enough. I wanted to go get something else, on the side of Burgundy. I really like Pinot Noir, the Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits. It’s a name that makes me dream, like a beautiful song.
This new approach of wine, how old was it?
