Gena Rowlands (1930 — 2024)

The 77th Edinburgh International Film Festival begins today - best of luck to Paul Ridd, Emma Boa and all the team! You can hear Paul and Emma discuss the programme on our recent EdFilmPodcast EIFF preview: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/edi… #edfilmfest #EIFF #edfringe

⚫ Gena Rowlands, torrent d'amour. C'est la une de @Libe vendredi. L'étincelante comédienne, qui forma avec John Cassavetes un duo phare du cinéma indépendant américain, est morte à 94 ans.

Fantastic Edinburgh International Film Festival In Conversation event with Gaspar Noé - only sorry I couldn’t make the SUSPIRIA screening he introduced The Cameo, Edinburgh afterwards.

⚫ Alain Delon est mort, annoncent ses enfants. Figure tutélaire du cinéma, symbole d’une masculinité ombrageuse, l’acteur au charisme fou a enchaîné les chefs-d’œuvre. Il avait 88 ans. liberation.fr/culture/cinema…

« Je suis un acteur. Un comédien joue, il passe des années à apprendre, alors que l’acteur vit. Moi, j’ai toujours vécu mes rôles. Je n’ai jamais joué. Un acteur est un accident. Je suis un accident. Ma vie est un accident. Ma carrière est un accident » Alain Delon, 1935-2024.

Magnifique séquence extraite de «Stupéfiant» (Septembre 2016) où accompagné de Léa Salamé, Alain Delon retourne au Palais Gangi, à Palerme, où fut filmée la fameuse scène de bal du «Guépard » de Luchino Visconti, 53 ans après le tournage. #AlainDelon #Delon

Sophia Loren ricorda Marcello Mastroianni: “Più che un ricordo, è una scintilla. La scintilla nei suoi occhi quando sorrideva, è quella che mi porto impressa nel cuore. Questa scintilla mi riempiva di rassicurazione, di affetto, ispirazione”. repubblica.it/spettacoli/cin…
