"Bilan d'une existence, chronique angoissée et lucide d'une vie" qui a les apparences de la réussite. Le héros a 82 ans; il vient de tourner son premier film, après avoir, entre les deux guerres, été un important producteur de cinéma. Comme l'écrit P. Lepape, l'auteur "dispense son gai savoir pour dire la dispersion de la vie et la mort du cinéma" comme art mais non comme industrie. Deuxième sélection Goncourt 1992. Prix Renaudot 1992.
