In “Forever Young”, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi talks about the drama school she attended herself – about teachers who kiss students and take drugs.
“Actually, I don’t want to go here anyway. They’re so egocentric. They’re hysterical.” So says a young man who applied to drama school at the Théâtre des Amandiers, which was at the center of the French-language theater scene in the mid-1980s, largely because legendary director Patrice Chéreau ran it. The young man, his name is Baptiste, has come a long way, right up to the final selection. Now 24 applicants are waiting for the list of the twelve lucky ones who made it to be pasted on the glass door. Baptiste claims he doesn’t want what he might not get.
