Thirty years after the death of the singer, the movie Dalida the director, Lisa Azuelos fate Wednesday, January 11, in 550 cinemas in France. This biopic tackles the career but also the face’s tormented singer. The Italian Sveva Alviti, hitherto unknown, is holding the first role. The brother and manager of Dalida, Orlando, told franceinfo.
franceinfo : One has the feeling that Dalida has never been more fashionable than today. More than in 1987, at the time of his disappearance ?
Orlando : no, not at all, because the film that she had shot this year, The sixth day (Youssef Chahine), had made a lot of noise in the press and in the reviews. It was a film that has not found its audience. But Dalida is a party on a movie, she wanted to show that she was an actress, in addition to being a singer. This bet, she has earned it. All the critics had recognized in it a new tragedian.
It was a little bit put the song in brackets, because of the movie that she had shot a year earlier and because of the promotion. She did not want to mix the two. So in the end, it was one or two years that it did not come out of drive, it is exact.
We come out of this film by Liza Azuelos both happy to have réentendu a lot of songs from Dalida, and at the same time a little depressed by the life she has had. What is she was unhappy !
She was not depressed. Because Dalida has accepted everything, the happiness as unhappiness. It was unfortunate, but it has also sketched the life to the fullest. She was also very solar because otherwise, it would not have been able to give as much of a dream to people and it would not have been able to do the career that she has made.
Have you been baffled that we were going to look for Yolanda, more than Dalida ?
The singer, everybody knows it : his songs, his record sales, his triumphs… he had to do know, it is the woman in private life, the one that the public knows less. What is wonderful in this film, is that it does justice to the female public as well as the woman private.
I often say that when she is busy in her career, Dalida has always been successful. When she is busy in her private life, she was more awkward, but she has not regretted. She has always said : “Each man has brought me something. I have taken the best of every man”. Also, in the movie, we see their diversity. No man looked at another. Neither physically, nor intellectually, nor spiritually.
At the bottom, Dalida one of the clear, it is that of Gigi L Amoroso and all of the other tubes…
there were tubes ! Let’s not mince words : no artist has had as many tubes as Dalida in his career. Of course, these are the songs that stand the test of time and kept in memory. But the film is not a film for variety, this is a film about the life of Dalida, closer to the spine, but through the eyes of the director.
In the film, we also meet a Dalida the more melancholic, the one who sang time of Léo Ferré… The audience was he aware that the singer was going through a hard time when she sang this song ?
Dalida and his audience it forged a bond of friendship, trust and love that has never waned until today. The public has a sense that we do not have. He has always followed, even when it was an inner revolution and artistic. You can see this clearly in the film, when she wanted to sing of the great texts at the Olympia, like I am sick, time or When we have only love. Bruno Coquatrix, the director of the Olympia, did not believe in it.
She believed it and the public has followed. Why ? Because at one point of her life where she has experienced a personal tragedy (the suicide of her companion), she was in need of a food of the spirit. All of these trials she has endured, she has put at the service of his art He had to songs and texts that corresponded to the one she had become.
What was your role in this turning point of his life and his career ?
I went in search of songs which it corresponded. I’ve had to evolve at the same time, otherwise I would not have been able to serve. It was a sort of contract between her and me. She told me : “take care of me find tubes. But on stage, I’m all alone and I choose the songs that I want to defend it”. She was right. So all of these songs, it was his own choice.
the life of Dalida, personal or professional, has been only an eternal twist. She has never fell asleep on its laurels. She knew that one arrives in a career just on the day that we leave. Proof : it is she who decided on the day where she would be and where it would drop the curtain on her way. As she sang, for that matter.
You are the guardian of the temple. You have maintained the icon of Dalida alive during these last thirty years. After you, who will protect the image of the singer ?
The sky will protect it ! I only continue what I was doing already in his lifetime. My mission now is to project it to the new generation. Today, with the film, the young people discover, listen to Dalida that listened to their parents. This is interesting.
