When Robin Williams was speaking French

Silence!

The clown has left the building.

He told the truth - his truth - and that’s how he made us laugh.

He told the truth about French, he drew a caricature in which we recognized ourselves, and we laughed, because we felt a sweet tenderness and warm love under the poignant words and gigantic gestures, in this sweet, sweet man with a heart larger than life itself.

He designed his own entrance and his own exit, even if we, the audience, don’t agree with it. 

On one thing we most certainly can agree: He made us laugh a little and cry a little, and being more French than many knew, he made us laugh, because his humour was nothing but tender.
