※【Life and career】從影生涯簡介

Trintignant was born in Piolenc, Vaucluse,France, the son of Claire (née Tourtin) and Raoul Trintignant, an industrialist. At the age of twenty, Trintignant moved to Paris to study drama, and made his theatrical debut in 1951 going on to be seen as one of the most gifted French actors of the post-war era. After touring in the early 1950s in several theater productions, his first motion picture appearance came in 1955 and the following year he gained stardom with his performance opposite Brigitte Bardot in Roger Vadim's《And God Created Woman》.

Trintignant’s acting was interrupted for several years by mandatory military service. After serving in Algiers, he returned to Paris and resumed his work in film.

In Italy, he was always dubbed into Italian, and his work stretched into collaborations with renowned Italian directors, including Valerio Zurlini in《Summer Violent》and《The Desert of the Tartars》, Ettore Scola in 《La terrazza》, Bernardo Bertolucci in《The Conformist》, and Dino Risi in the cult film《The Easy Life》.

Throughout the 1970s, Trintignant starred in numerous films and in 1983 he made his first English language feature film,《Under Fire》. Following this, he starred in François Truffaut's final film,《Confidentially Yours》.

In 1994, he starred in Krzysztof Kieślowski's last film, 《Three Colors: Red》.

Though he takes an occasional film role, he has, as of late, been focusing essentially on his stage work.

※【Personal life】 個人生活

Trintignant comes from a wealthy family. He is the nephew of race car driver, Louis Trintignant, who was killed in 1933 while practicing on the Péronne racetrack in Picardie. Another uncle, Maurice Trintignant (1917–2005), was a Formula One driver who twice won the Monaco Grand Prix as well as the Le Mans. Raised in and around automobile racing, Jean-Louis Trintignant was the natural choice of film director Claude Lelouch for the starring role of race car driver in the 1966 film, 《Un homme et une femme》. He suffered a leg injury from a motorcycle accident in June 2007.

His first wife was actress Stéphane Audran. His second wife, Nadine Marquand, was also an actress as well as a screenwriter and director. They had three children: Vincent Trintignant, Pauline (who died of crib death in 1969) and Marie Trintignant (21 January 1962 – 1 August 2003). At the age of 17, Marie performed in《La terrazza》alongside her father and later became a successful actress in her own right. She was killed at the age of 41 by her boyfriend, singer Bertrand Cantat, in a hotel room in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Trintignant is good friends with Anouk Aimée. It was he who recommended Aimée to film director Claude Lelouch for the female lead in《Un homme et une femme》.

※【Personal Quotes】個人語錄

1.
" The best actors in the world are those who feel the most and show the least."
2.
[on Marcello Mastroianni]
Mastroianni fascinates me; there are few people who are more intelligent than they wish to appear. That's Marcello exactly!
3.
[on Gina Lollobrigida]
The only leading lady who displeased me. It's wicked to say this now she's a retired old lady, but we had a completely different conception of things: between each shot she called for her hairdresser and make-up man. It was very painful to work under those conditions. And then, she was a little stupid: she understood nothing of what she was doing and completely embarrassed the director.
4.
[on Costa-Gavras]
Costa-Gavras is more the classic director of the American cinema of John Ford and those people. His films are a little linear,didactic for a character who is so complex and ambiguous. I love him! We all do, we all call him -- Nadine, myself -- when we're cutting. He can take any film and find ten more minutes to cut.
5.
[on Anouk Aimée]
No actress either, like Brigitte Bardot, but extraordinary -- the way Gary Cooper was extraordinary.
6.
[on Catherine Deneuve]
At the beginning, not an extraordinary actress. But she has become a formidable one, subtle, full of nuance, sensitive, intelligent. I love working with her.

~~悲慘的女兒小簡介~~

●Marie Trintignant

(21 January 1962 – 1 August 2003) was a French actress.


※【Early life】早年

She was born in Boulogne-Billancourt, the daughter of actor Jean-Louis Trintignant and his second wife Nadine Marquand. She first appeared on screen aged 4 in her mother's film,《My Love, My Love》. When Marie's baby sister Pauline died when Marie was 8, she became withdrawn and virtually stopped speaking. Her parents divorced in 1976. Throughout her early life she was afflicted by severe shyness, but despite this, by her mid-teens she decided to become an actress. She had such a strong affection for animals that she had first dreamt of becoming a veterinarian, but the acting heritage proved too strong. "Cats don't raise dogs," she said succinctly.

※【Family】婚姻

She was the mother of four sons:

Roman with drummer Richard Kolinka
Paul with actor François Cluzet
Léon with Mathias Othnin-Girard
Jules with director Samuel Benchetrit

※【Death】2003年法國轟動一時的社會新聞

Marie Trintignant died aged 41 of a cerebral edema on 1 August 2003 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, as a result of being repeatedly punched[citation needed] by her boyfriend Bertrand Cantat, lead singer with the French rock group, "Noir Désir", during a domestic dispute provoked by a text message. Trintignant was in Vilnius, Lithuania, at the time, making a movie about the French novelist《Colette》. Cantat and Trintignant had been lovers for 18 months. Medical evidence suggested the slightly built Mme Trintignant had been struck in the face at least 19 times. Emergency services were only alerted seven hours later, by which time the actress was in a deep coma from which she never recovered. Her parents had her flown back to Paris where she died. Her death caused considerable emotion in France where the popular media divided into pro- and anti- Cantat camps and celebrity magazines were dominated for months by the "affaire Trintignant". Bertrand Cantat was sentenced to 8 years in prison for manslaughter. He was released for good behaviour in October 2007 after serving four years. Marie Trintignant is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery, in Paris.

●2012年5月相關訪談

..Jean-Louis Trintignant, star of the film "Love" that won Cannes gold on Sunday, is a French screen legend who returned to cinema after a 15-year break for a searing performance as a man caring for his dying wife.

The 81-year-old made a powerful impression in Austrian Michael Haneke's Palme d'Or-winning movie, the tale of retired music teachers Georges and Anne, whose adoring relationship is cruelly tested when she suffers a stroke.

Set in the hushed rooms of the couple's parquet-floored Parisian flat, the film charts Anne's physical and mental decline, and the increasingly unbearable strain it puts on Georges, who pledges to care for her at home until the end.

A classic French film and stage actor whose breakthrough role was opposite Brigitte Bardot in the 1956 "And God... Created Woman," he plays opposite the 85-year-old Emmanuelle Riva in Haneke's latest film.

Trintignant, who was crowned best actor in Cannes more than 40 years ago for the 1969 Costa Gavras movie "Z", spoke warmly -- and humorously -- during this year's festival of working with the Austrian director.

"I didn't want to act on screen any more. But Haneke is one of the greatest film-makers in the world. I am very proud to be in this film -- but I won't be making any more! I suffered a lot!"

"I have never worked with such a demanding director -- and quite frankly I wouldn't wish it on anyone!" he quipped, joking that in one scene even a pigeon was driven to exhaustion by the exacting Austrian.

Haneke's sober camera chronicles the intimacy of Anne's decline, the effort required of Georges to help her stand, wash or eat, but Trintignant said the director asked them to approach the harrowing story without sentimentality.

"Michael Haneke never wanted it to be sentimental or tear-jerking," he said. "It was very painful, but very beautiful."

"I have made more than 100 films, but it may be the first time I was happy to see myself. I say that without vanity."

Trintignant's long career was marked by tragedy, when his daughter, the actress Marie Trintignant, was killed in 2003 by her rocker partner Bertrand Cantat, who was jailed for manslaughter.

The son of an industrialist, Trintignant chose acting over the law. After a traumatic military service in French-ruled Algeria, he made a noted screen debut in the 1960 "Dangerous Liaisons" by French director Roger Vadim.

His big break came with the 1966 "A Man and a Woman" by Claude Lelouch, which took the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 1966, launching him as one of France's most-loved actors.

Over the years Trintignant has starred opposite France's greatest actresses, from his one-time partner Bardot to Romy Schneider, Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert or Fanny Ardant.

In the late 1980s he stepped back from the cinema, taking on only projects he felt strongly about, such as Jacques Audiard's 1994 "See How They Fall", about a salesman tracking the murderers of his policeman friend.

In recent years Trintignant had turned increasingly to the stage, where he feels actors hold a richer place.

"I think I am better on stage, he said in Cannes this week.

A lover of wine and poetry, he performed on stage with his daughter Marie in 1999 for a joint performance of "Poemes a Lou", a letter from Guillaume Apollinaire to his beloved.

"I had a beautiful, close bond with Marie," he said in a book of interviews published last month. "I don't know if anyone could have such a rich relationship with their daughter."

Trintignant, who had two other children with the director Nadine Marquand, had already suffered the loss of one daughter, Pauline, who died aged nine months in 1970. Their third child is a son named Vincent.

Despite the nourishment of poetry, his return to cinema, and a joyous, mischievous spirit that was on full display in Cannes this week, he confides in the book of interviews that Marie's death left him profoundly bereft.

"Sadly Marie's disappearance erases everything, both poetry and Haneke. Today I am merely pretending to be alive."
