Jean-Louis Trintignant was a French actor considered one of the great dramatic performers of postwar European cinema. After breaking through alongside Brigitte Bardot in 'And God Created Woman', he achieved international fame with Claude Lelouch's romance 'A Man and a Woman' and worked with the continent's greatest auteurs: Bertolucci in 'The Conformist', Rohmer in 'My Night at Maud's', Costa-Gavras in 'Z' —which earned him the acting prize at Cannes— and Kieślowski in 'Three Colors: Red'. His long trajectory culminated with the César and unanimous recognition for Michael Haneke's 'Amour'. An actor of extreme restraint, he communicated inner storms with the slightest expression, making silence and gaze his most powerful instrument.
