<br/><br/> ‪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.‪
