Pregnancy Congratulations

Alain Delon got lost ...

few days ago, I read an interview with Alain Delon in Le Journal du Dimanche on the occasion of the theatrical release of the restored version of the Cheetah . Of course the actor will speak primarily of the film by Luchino Visconti, filming, Claudia Cardinale ... but at the end of the interview, the conversation came to the current career of Delon, or rather his non-career. The fact that Delon say mostly "no" to proposals made to it cinematic. On this point, the actor claims to receive only bad scenarios and prefer not to make movies too, leaving the public image he may have passed him by his films.

Hmm ... one wonders if Delon means talk, or if he threw a glance at his filmography in recent years. If he has read the draft that he was offered and refused, and those he accepted. According to him, would therefore Delon agreed that the cream of the crop, preferring to leave this stinks? I have great admiration for the actor has been Alain Delon, Visconti or his collaborations with Melville, but now I'm afraid that unlocks Delon. Background: The past five years Alain Delon has agreed to play in only one feature film and a television movie. The first was the hilarious Asterix at the Olympic Games, in which Delon s'autoparodiait with heaviness in Julius Caesar. The second production TF1 whose headline was ... the singer Lorie.

So what Delon considered to be the height of its film heritage. That is what he considers to be worthy of the man he was, this charismatic actor who embodied both the seduction, mystery and daring. One whose silhouette has haunted with magnetism Samurai Melville, one whose piercing blue eyes navigating between charm and danger in Noon Clement. Alain Delon was the great actor that he claims to be constantly to anyone who will listen. Yes, even if its behavior can grieve, there was this great actor. It electrified the screen in Rocco and His Brothers, Raiders , The red circle and Mr. Klein .

But Alain Delon has lost the thread of his talent. He lost. He denies that he should not refuse and embraces projects that are just driving it into the mediocrity. He has missed the opportunity to interpret Mesrine's mentor face Vincent Cassel, said no to Johnnie for Vengeance and avenging his father's role (role failing to Johnny Hallyday next to the plate), and more recently planted Olivier Marchal and Alexandre Astier, swinging to the latter it was better to choose between being an actor and director on the project he was bringing a tray money, as if the screenwriter, producer, director and performer Kaamelott had not already shown he could ensure by assuming many hats.

Alain Delon had his nose at a time to get a place in what the French cinema, and European, offered the best. He had the talent to become one the most important actors of his generation. Delon but has not aged well. He lost his nose and talent. One day perhaps he will take great delight in contradicting me. And the truth is that I only ask this.
