Marco Mouly, the real Alain Fitoussi, has a problem with Money and Blood
Played by Ramzi Bédia on screen, he finds another character in the series broadcast on Canal Plus “ridiculous”.
Adaptation of the journalist’s investigative book Mediapart Fabrice Arfi, Of money and blood depicts very real facts. Namely the famous carbon tax scam which is said to have cost France nearly 1.6 billion euros at the end of the 2000s. The characters in the series are inspired by the real protagonists of the affair. And one of them did not fail to give his opinion on the show broadcast on Canal Plus.
Questioned by our colleagues from Leisure TV, Marc Mouly inspired the Alain Fitoussi of the series, played by Ramzy Bedia. But it’s another character who poses a problem for him. The one that corresponds to his friend Samy Souied.
“The ridiculous thing about the series is Bouli. David Ayala has nothing to do with Samy. He doesn’t look like him at all! They chose someone who doesn’t even know how to speak. Samy had a dialogue. .. Samy was a playboy. He had a personality, he knew how to express himself. He was a phenomenon, a number 1. I called him ‘the leader of men (…) I was the joker, he was the serious one. I still get chills thinking about him. I never wanted to talk about him out of respect for his family.”
Marc Mouly, on the other hand, is a fan of Vincent Lindon, who plays the role of Simon Weynachter, the head of the National Judicial Customs Service. “Vincent Lindon is the boss. He’s number 1. He carries the whole series on his shoulders. The cop his character is based on was really like him.”
The last episode Of money and blood will be broadcast on Monday on Canal Plus, and available for streaming on MyCanal.
