"Réalisé avec subtilité et humour, Anges et démons porte sur la banlieue et les gens qui y vivent un regard juste, généreux et sans pitié." Angels and Demons of the City L’Express: "This documentary has the strange beauty of Pasolini's early films. Frédéric Laffont's film is a masterpiece that we would dream of seeing in the cinema. There are no clichés here. Frédéric Laffont proves that there's no such thing as a hackneyed subject when it comes to passion." Le Point: "The author, Frédéric Laffont, has written a scathing documentary. It's a slap in the face to good feelings and security prejudices." Le Monde : "Filmed in La Mare Rouge, a aera with a bad reputation in the northern suburbs of Le Havre, this documentary is an extraordinary chronicle of the neighbourhood. Frédéric Laffont spent two months there. He was able to gain the trust of the young people who, in return, gave him powerful testimonies. With subtlety and humour, Anges et démons takes a fair, generous and merciless look at the suburbs and the people who live there." Télérama: "There's a sense of hindsight in this frank look at successes and failures with a sensitive eye. And the film comes across as a tale of ordinary life, sincere, fair and deeply touching." Le Monde (bis) : "A film without demagoguery, poignant and beautiful, not made to inspire pity. A lesson in humility." Libération : "It could be a western or a gangster film, with rival gangs and sacred places of confrontation. Frédéric Laffont immersed himself for seven weeks in Le Havre to bring back a story where reality vies with the novel. The air of the suburbs as rarely seen... Raw, lived, and far from sad." Editing : Jean-François Giré Length: 1h31' © Interscoop, France 3, 1994 Le Havre, cités de la Mare Rouge, Auchan, angels and demons...

"C’est par la plume poétique de Frédéric Laffont que l’on découvre l’histoire d’un des personnages les plus illustres, mais certainement aussi l’un des plus discrets de la gastronomie française. L’histoire d’un homme singulier, et la vie d’un grand chef dont les mots sont si rares que l’on s’en délecte ici. " A life by the menu Editions L'Iconoclaste, 2021 Passion Literature Prize, 2022 The child was wild, the man embodies the excellence of French gastronomy. At L'Ambroisie, his three-Michelin-starred restaurant for over thirty years, Bernard Pacaud refines his legendary dishes for lunch and dinner. A truffle turnover with a good mood, a half-mourning Bresse chicken, a thin shortbread tart with bitter cocoa... Like the mushrooms he cherishes, the chef prefers shadow to light. For ten years, Frédéric Laffont has gathered his rare words and, with a chiseled style, recreates a destiny, encounters with extraordinary beings, an endless quest for perfection. A life, a century of culinary history, where we meet Mère Brazier, Jacques Lacan, Barak Obama, François Truffaut, Calamity Jane and the Absente. Libération : “An intense biography. A deeply moving account, written by Frédéric Laffont. The intense writing style of this renowned reporter and documentary filmmaker, winner of the 1987 Albert Londres Prize for his coverage of the war in Lebanon, reflects his close friendship with the chef, whom he has known for thirty years.” Le Figaro : “A remarkable biography. This book is unlike the usual culinary hagiographies; the author addresses his subject as if revealing his own story to him in order to soften the painful moments, the unknown father, the overly absent mother.” France Inter, Nicolas Demorand : “This is the biography of a modest man who shuns the limelight. His cuisine speaks for him. Obsessive work. Asceticism. Silence. A poem.” Sud Radio : « Excellent! » Politis : “An original literary form to paint the portrait of an outstanding chef. The quintessence of the culinary arts.” Télérama : “Let's taste this book!” Bottin Gourmand : "A remarkable book that stands out from everything we know about culinary literature." L’Opinion : "A book that left me breathless, which I read in one sitting, thinking on almost every page how lucky I am to know Danièle and him a little, and to love them. I believe Honoré Balzac wrote, ‘We don't like something a little or a lot. We either like it or we don't.’ I like it." Gilles Pudlowski : “An ode to Bernard Pacaud. A brilliant tribute to one of the great chefs of his time.” Gastronomie : "A favorite. Frédéric Laffont's poetic pen reveals the story of one of the most illustrious, but certainly also one of the most discreet figures in French gastronomy. The story of a singular man, and the life of a great chef whose words are so rare that we revel in them here." L’Hôtellerie : “A powerful and moving story right up to the last line.”

"Frédéric Laffont brosse sans flagornerie et par touches impressionnistes les paradoxes d’Hermès. Le résultat ne ressemble en rien aux sommes habituelles et complaisantes que l’industrie du luxe imprime à tour de bras…" At 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré Editions L'Iconoclaste, 2024 24 Faubourg-Saint-Honoré in Paris is not just the address of a well-known store worldwide. This building is the site of an enigma, that of the house of Hermès. A place inhabited by women and men as much as by spirits, where time seems to flow differently. A place with its history, its culture, its grammar and lexicon, its myths and its rites. It took a writer and a great traveler to explore this territory and restore its spirit. Europe 1, 27 oct 2024 Various translations currently being published. Vanity Fair: “A war reporter immersed at Hermès. Two years of writing. The result: a unique book, full of anecdotes. Exquisite.” Le Monde M: “Delectable. A tender tale. The author paints the paradoxes of Hermès without flattery and with impressionistic touches. The result is nothing like the usual, complacent sums that the luxury industry prints left, right and centre…” Harper's Bazaar: "While the writer is used to exploring popular cultures, his new adventure pushes open the doors of a century-old house. Two years in the land of Hermès. A book that immerses you in the grandiose Hermès adventure." Prima: “A captivating novel about a mysterious dynasty. Fascinating!” Booksellers' Pages: "A song of deeds. A moving book. The magic of this writing still works." Europe 1: “A truly great book. Eminently poetic. Frédéric Laffont dazzled us three years ago with a book about Chef Bernard Pacaud. He returns to us with a travel story in a strange land. An incredible book, brilliantly written. Masterful language. Literary and magnificent!” Librairie Lamartine: “A story steeped in rare humanity. One of the best books of the year.” The Pavilion of Literature (Belgium): “An essay that enchants, sparkles and throbs with the tribal spirit and roots of the House of Hermès, by Frédéric Laffont, the wonderful author of A Life in Detail. A song of gesture and spirit, made up of twenty-five thematic songs that takes us into the soul of the brand, through its actors…” LeA Bookstore: “Impressionist touches. A surprise! Read in one sitting.” Librairie Galignani: “This book is a marvel, a true reader’s delight! Thank you.” Booksellers' Pages: "A grand journey into what he calls 'the tribe'. A true gem."

"Frédéric Laffont évite les commentaires. Il préfère laisser parler les images. On découvre le système et la philosophie de la chaîne CNN créée par Ted Turner. Le documentaire est remarquable, ce qu’il montre est inquiétant." Planet CNN Le Nouvel Obs: “A resounding success! Logically, after this extraordinary document, we should no longer be able to debate television in general, as we did before. By renouncing any strong judgment and banishing all commentary, Laffont in a way traps CNN's logic in its own way by letting the images speak for themselves. The existence of magnificent dissidents like Frédéric Laffont and of a refuge like Arte has never seemed so dramatically necessary to us…” Le Monde: "Frédéric Laffont avoids commentary. He prefers to let the images speak for themselves. We discover the system and the philosophy of the channel. The documentary is remarkable, what it shows is disturbing." A film by Frédéric Laffont Edited by Jean-François Giré Duration: 1h40' © La Sept Arte, Interscoop, 1997 CNN tells the world its own story. Continuous news? Among the Atlanta pioneers, the myth revisited.

Wally Schirra rêvait d’être pompier, il deviendra astronaute. En 1959, il fait partie des sept premiers astronautes américains sélectionnés par la NASA.

Wally Schirra raconte avec humour et passion son incroyable aventure spatiale, témoin privilégié de l’une des plus grandes épopées du XXe siècle. Captain W, astronaut Etoile SCAM 2007 ENGLISH VERSION A film by Frédéric Laffont Edited by Jean-François Giré Duration: 56' © France 3, Interscoop, City of Science and Industry, 1994 Wally Schirra dreamed of being a firefighter, but he became an astronaut. In 1959, he was one of the first seven American astronauts selected by NASA. When a journalist asked him, "Who thinks they'll come back alive from space?", he raised both hands. The first to successfully complete a space rendezvous, he amused Houston by reporting a "red UFO" that he said was Santa's sleigh in December 1965. The only astronaut to have flown on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, Wally Schirra recounts his incredible space adventure with humor and passion, a privileged witness to one of the greatest epics of the 20th century.
