Hallyday was GREAT. Understated performances are difficult. The eyes and the voice must carry the emotion, the pacing, and hold the interest of a jaded, violence-addicted, and semi-deaf audience. He did it. I could not take my eyes off him.
The character was, like Brando's in "Last Tango...", a middle-aged man in full realization of life's fragility.
The scene in the bar when he was barreled into, and let it slide, was brilliant. Can you imagine how Hollywood would have handled it? Remeber the scene in "Shane" when Ladd took on the entire gang w/his fists (Alan Ladd, for god's sake!) and the farmer came in to help him? Imagine that scene now with the teacher helping Hallyday?!!!
No, Patrick. It is YOU that have Hallyday baggage. You cannot separate a very mediocre rock musician from his acting---which in this case was brilliant. See it again and concentrate on him.
