- | '''Jean-Louis Trintignant''' (born on [[December 11]] [[1930]] in [[Piolenc]], [[Vaucluse]], [[France]]) is a [[France|French]] [[actor]]. | ||
- | At the age of twenty, Trintignant moved to [[Paris, France]] to study drama, and made his theatrical debut in [[1951]] going on to be seen as one of the most gifted French actors of the post-[[World War II|war]] era. After touring in the early [[1950s]] in several theater productions, his first motion picture appearance came in [[1955]] and the following year he gained stardom with his performance opposite [[Brigitte Bardot]] in [[Roger Vadim]]'s ''[[And God Created Woman]]''. | + | '''Jean-Louis Trintignant''' (1930 – 2022) was a [[French actor]], filmmaker and [[racecar driver]]. He made his theatrical debut in 1951, going on to be seen as one of the most gifted French dramatic actors of the post-[[World War II|war]] era, known for his starring roles in many classic films of [[European cinema]]. |
- | From a wealthy family, he is the nephew of race car driver, Louis Trintignant, who was killed in [[1933]] while practicing on the [[Péronne]] racetrack in [[Picardie]]. His other uncle, [[Maurice Trintignant]] (born 1917), was a [[Formula One]] driver who twice won the [[Monaco Grand Prix]] as well as the [[24 hours of Le Mans]]. Raised in and around automobile racing, Jean-Louis Trintignant was the natural choice of film director [[Claude Lelouch]] for the starring role of race car driver in the [[1966]] film, ''[[Un homme et une femme]]'', a global success that made him an international star. | + | He worked with many prominent [[auteur]] directors, including [[Roger Vadim]], [[Costa-Gavras]], [[Claude Lelouch]], [[Claude Chabrol]], [[Bernardo Bertolucci]], [[Éric Rohmer]], [[François Truffaut]], [[Krzysztof Kieślowski]], and [[Michael Haneke]]. |
- | Trintignant’s acting was interrupted for several years by mandatory military service. After serving in [[Algiers]], he returned to Paris and a very successful career. Subsequent leading roles in art-house classics such as ''[[The Sleeping Car Murders]]'', ''[[Un homme et une femme]]'' (''A Man and a Woman)'' (at the time the most successful French film ever screened in the foreign market), [[Bernardo Bertolucci|Bertolucci]]'s ''[[The Conformist (film)|The Conformist]]'', and the [[1969]] political thriller ''[[Z (film)|Z]]'', in which he portrayed an idealistic young attorney, garnered him an international following as well as the [[Best Actor Award (Cannes Film Festival)|Best Actor]] award at the 1969 [[Cannes Film Festival]]. | + | He made a critical and commercial breakthrough in ''[[And God Created Woman (1956 film)|And God Created Woman]]'' (1956), followed by a starmaking romantic turn in ''[[A Man and a Woman]]'' (1966), and ''[[The Great Silence]]'' (1968). |
- | In Italy, always dubbed into Italian, he worked with [[Valerio Zurlini]] in ''[[Summer Violent]]'' and ''[[The Desert of the Tartars]]'', [[Ettore Scola]]'s ''[[La terrazza]]'' but specially the cult film ''[[The Easy Life]]'' by [[Dino Risi]]. | + | He won prizes for his performance in ''[[The Man Who Lies]]'' (1968), [[Costa-Gavras]]'s [[Z (1969 film)|''Z'']] (1969) and ''[[Amour (2012 film)|Amour]]'' (2012). |
- | He married [[Nadine Marquand]], herself an actress as well as a screenwriter and director. Since divorced, they had a daughter, [[Marie Trintignant|Marie]] ([[January 21]] [[1962]] – [[August 1]] [[2003]]), who at the age of 17 performed in ''La terrazza'' alongside her father and became a very successful actress in her own right. | + | Trintignant's other notable films include, ''[[My Night at Maud's]]'' (1969), ''[[The Conformist (film)|The Conformist]]'' (1970), ''[[Three Colours: Red]]'' (1994), and ''[[The City of Lost Children]]'' (1995). |

- | Throughout the 1970s Trintignant starred in numerous films and in [[1983]] he made his first [[English language]] feature film, ''Under Fire''. Following this, he starred in [[François Truffaut]]'s final film, ''[[Confidentially Yours]]'' | ||
- | |||
- | In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Trintignant worked infrequently because of health problems (consecutive from a car accident) and a growing lack of interest for movies. His [[1994]] role in the late [[Krzysztof Kieślowski]]'s last film, ''[[Three Colors: Red]]'' marked a rare appearance for him but still earned him a [[César Award]] nomination for Best Actor. | ||
- | |||
- | The following year he lent his voice to the widely acclaimed ''[[The City of Lost Children|La Cité des Enfants Perdus]]'', and has made films only occasionally since. He has focused essentially on his stage work. | ||
