Alain Delon he was one of those actors who could easily be considered a monster of French cinema with countless successes. An icon of the seventh art, with an impressive career and whose fame has gone beyond our borders, whether in Italy, Russia or the United States. This Sunday, August 18 morning, he he died at the age of 88his three sons announced in a joint press release to AFP. They wrote in particular:

He died peacefully at his home in Douchy, surrounded by his three children and his family. (…) His family asks that their privacy be respected, in this moment of extremely painful mourning.
The actor had been weakened for several years following a stroke in 2019. His loved ones were divided over his health. His children accused each other of endangering Alain Delon’s life or manipulating him over inheritance issues.
Amazing debut, in Italy and with René Clément
Born on November 8, 1935 in Sceaux, Alain Delon was an emblematic figure of French cinema, whose career began since 1957 under the direction of Yves Allégret When the woman gets involved. Over the next two decades, the actor played a succession of roles, appearing in an average of three films a year, both in France and Italy. SO, Rene Clemente captures all her beauty and mischief in the excellent Full sun (1960)before directing him a second time in the Italian romantic comedy What a joy to live (1961). In the meantime, he appeared in one of his many important roles with Rocco and his brothers (1960) by Luchino Visconti.
Italy is doing well with Alain Delon in this period. Visconti finds him again for the great historical drama The Cheetah (1963)awarded the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Just as Michelangelo Antonioni places him alongside another legendary actress, Monica Vitti The eclipse (1962). And even if America asked for it (The San Francisco Murderers), remains faithful to France and to the director who made him famous. René Clément thus gives him another leading role in the thriller The felines (1964), alongside Jane Fonda, before involving him in an ambitious liberation project during the Second World War, Is Paris burning? (1966)worn by a multitude of actors and actresses.

A figure of the thriller with Melville
Subsequently Alain Delon had a decisive meeting in his career in the person of Jean Pierre Melvillewhich offers him his first role as Samurai (1967). The director will then make the actor a thriller figure, with, subsequently, The Red Circle (1970) and A policeman (1972). Sometimes a policeman, sometimes a bandit, Alain Delon excels at both, and knows how to play with his natural beauty here and there, as with The swimming pool (1968)a burning and disturbing film with Romy Schneider, which will serve as an advertising campaign for a perfume in 2010.
Even though in the 70’s he lost none of his splendor and continued to vary his way of playing and his genres (let’s remember Mr. Klein in 1976), Alain Delon finally slowed down in the 80s. The actor acted in “only” ten films, but was finally recognized at the César by winning the Best Actor Award for Our story (1985). It didn’t work anymore in the 90s, before becoming even rarer thereafter. It still accepts playing the symbolic role of Julius Caesar in comedy Asterix at the Olympic Games (2008), before almost completely moving away from the sets. In 2019, the Cannes Film Festival paid tribute to him by awarding him a Palm of Honor.
