Abstract
In one of the interviews, on Sky News, van Hove joined celebrity with a display of his seriousness and sensitivity as a reader. In the process of recollection, senses of the phrase ‘I Can’t Give Everything Away’ may get slightly lost. ‘Celebrities,’ Sharon Marcus has noted, ‘are people known during their lifetimes to more people than could possibly know one another’. Marcus claims that ‘intellectuals have been decrying the ills of celebrity culture’ since the early 1940s. Joseph V. Melillo has claimed of van Hove and Versweyveld that ‘when a creative partnership is as long and fruitful as that of these two men, a kind of alchemy of assurance occurs’. Speaking once about Amour by Michael Haneke, a film van Hove has not adapted for the stage, he said ‘Nothing is smaller and more intimate than that film but at the same time nothing is more larger than life.
