Vincent Lyndon is one of those actors who is somewhat late to mainstream recognition, despite a dense and consistent filmography spanning decades since the early 1980s.
In recent years, we were able to see her on the poster of director Julia Ducournau at the 2021 Palme d’Or. Forget about her lead role in the recent series D’argent et de Sang, which was also a huge critical and public success.
In his new film Playing with Fire , released the day before yesterday, he shares the bill with two new generation actors, Benjamin Voisin and Stéphane Crepon. Take a look back at the career of this actor who has become essential in the French cinematic landscape with eight of his acclaimed films.

Adaptation of the novel
Playing with Fire is inspired by the novel by Laurent Pettimangini What you need at nightFirst published in 2022. Delphine Kulin confides: “The novel asks a question we wanted to work on: Is love necessarily unconditional? If you do the worst, can I still love you?“
Vincent Lyndon, obviously
After reading the book, Delphine and Muriel Cullin came up with Vincent Lyndon for the role of Pierre. “We wrote the script with him in mind. He is a father figure. It is provided. And his build makes him completely reliable as a catenary operator. He can actually be an authority, physically, over someone like Benjamin—knowing that it’s not physical strength that prevents him from raising a hand against his father.Muriel Kulin says.
Women of Power
Playing with Fire is about three men and several women in the film portraying power figures. “We told ourselves that positions of power and knowledge are embodied by women: in the book, the lawyer is played by Mael Poez, and the dean of the university is the real dean of the Sorbonne.“, confides Delphin Kulin.
