Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Spécial cinéma ran from 1974 to 2000, making it one of Europe's longest-running film interview series—predating most modern 'intimate celebrity chat' formats by decades.
Many episodes were shot without audience, letting stars drop polished personas—rare footage exists of notoriously guarded actors like Delon actually... feeling things.
