My Take
What draws me to Thierry Lhermitte is that he didn't rise as a lone star but as part of a gang. Co-founding the Le Splendid troupe in the 1970s tells me everything: his comedy was forged in friendship, in the rowdy chemistry of equals pushing each other to be funnier. That foundation, I suspect, is why his work has aged with such warmth across acting, directing and writing. The 2001 Legion of Honour also reads, to me, as a nation taking laughter seriously. I admire performers who make comedy look effortless while quietly mastering every craft around it. He strikes me as that rare unpretentious kind.
