Solar Delon
To honor the legendary Alain Delon, we offer a look back at three solar films from his expansive career: Plein Soleil by René Clément, which cemented him as the new star of French cinema; L’eclisse by Michelangelo Antonioni, confirming his status as an auteur's favorite with his understated, minimalist performance; and Soleil rouge by Terence Young, showcasing his widespread appeal and ventures into genre cinema.

Delon solaire
La Cinémathèque québécoise rend hommage à Alain Delon qui nous a quittés cette année. De sa riche filmographie, nous avons extrait trois films « solaires » qui témoignent de son charme incandescent et de sa stature internationale : un film français (Plein Soleil de René Clément, 1960), un film italien (L’eclisse de Michelangelo Antonioni, 1962) et une coproduction franco-italo-espagnole tournée en anglais (Soleil rouge de Terence Young, 1971).
