The death of Jean-Paul Belmondo was very commented on the boards.
A tribute was paid to the actor on Monday evening by the festival.
Various personalities present told "20 Minutes" what the actor represented for them.
At the Deauville Festival, Jean-Paul Belmondo has been in everyone's mind since the announcement of his death on Monday.
"I have the impression of having lost a friend," we heard a festival-goer confide in her husband in the queue for a screening.
He answered her.
"I thought he was long dead", entering the room.
"Man became mortal when he believed himself to be mortal," said the philosopher Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin.
Jean-Paul Belmondo never believed himself mortal.
It is therefore eternal ”, confided
Bruno Barde, general delegate of the Deauville Festival, at
20 Minutes
.
A beautiful tribute featuring a photo of
Pierrot le fou
on the music of the
Professional
signed by Ennio Morricone received thunderous applause before the start of the screening of
Une femme du monde
by Cécile Ducrocq with Laure Calamy in the spotlight.
Upset (or not)
"I had tears in my eyes when this iconic shot appeared where his face was covered in blue paint," Laure Calamy confides to
20 Minutes
. I have seen
Pierrot le fou
at least sixty times. He had such freedom and such fantasy. The actress in her forties, who had been given a Caesarism for
Antoinette in the Cévennes
, was a fan of Bébel. “When I was a teenager, I recorded the dialogues from Godard's film on an audio cassette and I played them over and over on my little tape recorder. "
Garance Marillier, 23, seen in
Grave
and in
Titane
by Julia Ducournau, was less affected by the death of the actor.
“It's obviously sad but I didn't grow up with his films because he's not my generation at all,” she told
20 Minutes
.
My parents mostly showed me American films and I know this cinema better than French cinema.
Which is good since this fan of Hitchcock is sworn at the Deauville Festival where she tastes new products from the United States.
