Un Long Dimanche de fiançailles
. Rather confident on stage, Gaspard Ulliel kisses Diane Kruger who gives him his prize and begins a speech of thanks that he was "unable, he says, to prepare in advance". He adds: “I would really like to thank Jean-Pierre

Cesar for best actor
He was only 20 years old at the time, and this award served as a springboard for this pretty face who was really starting out in this great industry that is cinema.
Subsequently, he collaborated with directors such as Gus Van Sant, Peter Webber, Rithy Panh, Bertrand Tavernier, Emmanuel Mouret and Xavier Dolan.
He embodies Gaspar, Hannibal Lecter, Joseph, Henri de Guise or even Yves Saint Laurent.
And traces his path to receiving the grail, César for best actor (for
Just the end of the world
, by Xavier Dolan) in 2017.
