As a tribute to the richness of the play of this humble and hieratic actor, Le Figaro presents eight of his best roles, chosen in a career that easily counts more than a hundred: from the Seventh Seal in 1957, therefore, to Star Wars , episode VII: The Force Awakens (where he doubles himself in French) in 2015, passing through gems of the 7th art like The Exorcist, Les Trois Jours du Condor, Le Désert des Tartares, Death live, Never ever again (where he embodies the perverse polymorph Blofeld) and Minority Report. An anthology of videos of an exceptional career.
