Re: Pierrot le Fou & A Bout de Souffle...

Roles that have marked the story of Cinema. He was a boxer in his early day. From Italian origin he some how represent the lightness of the French spirit...He has a long history of film making. A few years ago a stroke left him with a few sequels, will he ever be able to make another film?
With good directors he was able to deliver a good show, and as you said Victor, not much deepth, and more for the amusement of the common folk as we all sometimes are, but not steadily, at least for some of us.
I never really like him, he is definitively a " B " actor.
He made several films with Delon, and they were very much jealous at each other.
Delon who left Romy Schneider to have an affair with Visconti, but at her death stay all night with her corpse, is the architype of the French male, macho and in reality just a copy carbone of the real thing...James Dean.
Politically now belonging to the far right, but still in an individually way, he do not makes any more movies save some TV. His best films were with Melville, even if I despite " Le Samurai " one of the coldness film I ever saw, it had a certain charm.
And of course his Italian " period " is worth to see...
For me again, one of the best French actor is Pierre Fresnay, but who of you American guys know him?
