“I was a UFO”: legendary voice of “Midnight Cinema”, Patrick Brion hangs up after 48 years on the air

Black and white images of Hollywood couples. Music by Francis Lai. And a white, laconic, sepulchral but very dynamic voice, with a bizarre, even disturbing timbre, before it is adopted, which presents the film with anecdotes and details of an absolute cinephile. A voice that will be silenced this Friday evening after forty-eight years of “Midnight Cinema”. That of Patrick Brion, 83 years old, creator in 1976 of the FR3 film club, which would become France 3.
