anotherbanana Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Must confess I thought he had gone many years ago. A great old actor. French TV5(?) is showing one of his films tonight, Le Crabe Tambour. I first saw it in the French Cultural Centre (Alliance Française) many years ago in Kuwait when I was still young and beautiful. Here is a link https://tvmag.lefigaro.fr/programme-tv/mort-de-jacques-perrin-france-5-modifie-sa-programmation-et-diffuse-le-crabe-tambour-ce-vendredi_2b058ab4-c203-11ec-8c55-4ea6978487bd/ Worth a watch.

NormanH Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I remember him in Cinema Paradiso with Philippe Noiret, another of my favourite French actors, now passed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ko12x2 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 One of my all-time favourite movies is 'Z'. My wife (then girlfriend) and I saw it in Paris not long after its release. Much more recently, my younger son and I had the chance to watch it, in the presence of Costa-Gavras in Goutrens (of Georges Rouquier fame - Farrebique & Biquefarre; Rouquier played the role of 'procureur général in Z). I had forgotten that Perrin played the extremely important role of the journalist/photographer and, perhaps even more importantly, helped to ensure its production.

anotherbanana Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Oddly enough, Norman I have Cinema Paradiso on the table next to me. With the Crabe Tambour it will be a pleasant weekends viewing. Fr5 are showing another of his films directly after the latter this evening so you might have a late night!!
