Traveling companion of Claude Sautet and Luis Buñuel, Michel Piccoli, who died at the age of 94 on May 12, 2020, was one of the sacred monsters of French cinema, with films that marked their era like Le Mépris (1963) , Les Choses de la vie (1970) or La Grande Bouffe (1973). In parallel with his artistic career, the actor has always been politically engaged on the left, without ever being inset. Back in pictures on the life of a man who worked with the greatest filmmakers for a filmography exceeding 150 works.
