My Take
Honore is the kind of restless artist I respect on instinct. A writer, filmmaker and theatre director out of Carhaix-Plouguer in Brittany, he refuses to be confined to a single medium, and that hunger usually signals someone chasing ideas rather than a brand. France clearly agrees: an Officer of Arts and Letters in 2017 and a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 2024 are not handed to the merely fashionable. What I admire most is the apparent willingness to keep digging into uncomfortable, personal material instead of coasting. Creators like him are why French cinema still feels alive rather than embalmed.
