I think his best role was in the 'Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources' series (dir.Claude Berri) as Ugolin, with Yves Montand as his uncle, Papet. Fabulous. Other films:Les Sous-Doués,La Banquière,Les hommes préfèrent les grosses,Pour 100 briques t'as plus rien,Le Paltoquet,
Lacenaire,Ma vie est un enfer,Un coeur en hiver,Ma saison préférée,
La Reine Margot,Le huitième Jour,Lucie Aubrac...

Hey, Jeff, thanks for dumping all that French on us... I will now need to go and translate them all. But before I do that, are there any comedies on that list? The closest I recall was "The Elegant Criminal" (Lacenaire), if one could call that a comedy...I agree that his performance in Manon/Jean wa perhaps the most unusual and interesting, but he was extremely human in "The Widow of Saint-Pierre".
When it comes to French comedies, Pierre Richard is one of my favorites, with his "The Tall Blond Man with one Black Shoe" setting the tone, and "The Goat" perhaps being the pinacle. Has he done even a better comedy since then?
Have you seen The Closet?
Hi Victor,
I shamefully admit that I'm not a 'great' fan of recent french movies so I don't go out of my way - the last one, I took my nephew to see Les Rivieres Poupres, by Kassowitch (La Haine) but it was a let-down after the book. I did see, however, on TV Alice & Martin (Teciné), last night wit Juliette Binoche and was really engrossed - well worth catching. By the way, there's a four part TV film coming soon on French TV, with Depardieu & Christian Clavier (yuk!)called....wait for it...roll of drums....'Napoleon'! I'll keep you posted, knowing your affinities ;0)
