Michel Blanc, actor

Since his beginnings in the 1970s with the Splendid troupe, Michel Blanc has become the darling of French cinema. While he naturally excelled as a comedic actor, embodying the sensitive, insecure, and old-fashioned archetype, he expanded his range over the years by taking on darker, more dramatic roles, imbued with a heightened sensitivity. A prolific and perfectionist actor, he added another string to his bow by moving behind the camera to direct the memorable Marche à l’ombre.

Films in this program will be announced in November.
