Jean-Louis Trintignant, a chameleon actor

The air of the film “A man and a woman” by Claude Lelouch is remembered, with headlining Jean-Louis Trintignant, who died on Friday June 17. A page turns for a whole generation. “Jean-Louis Trintignant was my generation, he made great films, he was also a lot of theater, he was a man of great culture”, says a woman. Extraordinary, extraordinary, these are also the words of those who have worked with the actor.

All hailed his extraordinary talent. A chameleon of French cinema who knew how to enter a role like no one else. “Immediately, as soon as he had read the script, he was already the character”specifies the director Costa-Gavras. “He had a talent for adapting to all roles”, says Philippe Labro, director. Emmanuel Macron hailed the memory of a formidable artistic talent.
