Poet actor with a bewitching voice, Jean-Louis Trintignant will have charmed without ever seeming to touch a few actresses and not the least: Emmanuelle Riva, Romy Schneider, Françoise Fabian, Michèle Mercier or Brigitte Bardot.
Born on December 11, 1930 in the south of France, this exceptional actor will have worked, from 1955, with the best directors of his time.

Of course, Jean-Louis Trintignant's first talent as a performer is this incredible shyness that he will be able to transform into an incredible strength on screen.
Faced with the ogre Vittorio Gassman in Dino Risi's masterpiece,
The Fanfaron
, he will be perfectly measured.
It is his temperance, his repressed madness, which allows this duo, a priori impossible, to live frantically along the Italian roads.

Trintignant is also the actor of fleeting love (
Merveilleuse Angélique
), tragedy and destiny (
Le Train
), tortuous or impossible loves (
Ma nuit chez Maud
) and eternal passion (
Amour
de Haneke) .
Sometimes against the grain, he plays the cops in
Sans mobile apparent
or the completely crazy killers in
Flic Story
.
The miracle is that each time, we believe in it.
Committed films do not scare him:
Z
by Costa-Gavras,
The Man Who Lies
by Robbe-Grillet.
Claude Lelouch had chosen him to live a passionate story with Anouk Aimée in
A man and a woman
.
It will be perfect.
The film will receive the Palme d'Or.
But he remained the same.
Nothing went to his head.
He will never have taken himself for a star... Notoriety, he admitted without false modesty, did not interest him.
