Jean-Pierre Léaud |
|
Jean-Pierre Léaud is not everybody's cup of tea for sure, but will remain an important name in film history. As an actor he can be adored or hated for exactly the same reasons: he is one of those rare players that directors let improvise his dialogue, which gets on certain viewers' nerves while it fascinates others.

Personal Quote:
What I find great in his films, is the feeling of freedom, of truth, that feeling you get along with the camera. The precise intuition he has of the truth of tiny details. The 400 Blows (1959), which I watch often, is full of details which give poetry to the movie.Trivia:
In 1968, during the military dictatorship government in Brazil, as seen in the documentary Barra 68 - Sem Perder a Ternura (2001), Jean-Pierre Léaud, who was also a political militant, made a speech for hundreds of students at Brasília University, which is in Brazil's capital. See more »Trademark:
