When, two years ago, Bernard Rapp asked me to make a film about Camus for his Un siècle d'écrivains series, I didn't hesitate for a moment. I'd long pondered the approach I would take to pay off the debt I had towards a man who was a protective elder before considering me a friend, and whom I admired even before he became a mentor. (...) There is virtually no country today where his work has not been translated, and the young people of many nations consider him not as a intellectual guide but as a role model in whom they recognized their own instincts, preoccupations and problems. I lived moments of intense happiness with Camus. I saw how, more than others, he paid the price. And in the end, I think that, if I insisted on being present in this film, it was probably to stress how much, with Camus, the quest for happiness was inseparable from the tragedy of his life.
