By using an iconic actor of French cinema — Daniel Auteuil — the singer Maxime Le Forestier, filmed by Jean Sacuto, sought to stage in the clip for his song “L’homme au bouquet de fleurs” the observation device—we could say the spinning device—which engages the artist when he takes his inspiration from the everyday man: “Where goes this human carrying a bouquet of flowers?” But beyond the plot are the processes from the cinema as those more specific to the clip that hold our attention here: in blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction, these processes propose a deepening of the song, which became a reflection on the creative act itself.
