The actor and screenwriter Jean-Pierre Bacri died Monday of cancer at the age of 69, said his agent Anne Alvares-Correa.
The man, a figure of French theater and cinema, occupied a prominent place with the public for his roles of grieving and disillusioned but deeply human anti-heroes.
He had written several plays and films with Agnès Jaoui, who was also his companion.
Jean-Pierre Bacri has been awarded five times at the César, where he received four times the trophy for best screenplay with Agnès Jaoui, for
Smoking / No Smoking
,
Un air de famille
,
We know the song
and
Le Goût des autres
, and a times Best Supporting Actor for
We Know the Song
.
The actor and author confided a few years ago that he did not like heroes.
I “do not believe in types that sparkle with happiness”: “tracking down experience, sobriety, modesty”, “refusing cheating” were for him a profession of faith.
Back in pictures on the career of the favorite grumpy of French cinema.
