This is the end of an acting life that could look back on roles in around 150 cinema and television productions. Trinity stood in front of the camera even in old age and shaped French cinema for many decades. Trintignant, who was born on December 11, 1930, became known with “Ein Mann und Eine Frau” (1966), and became legendary with Michael Haneke’s “Amour” (2012).
For Haneke, Trintignant also acted as the narrator in “The White Ribbon – A German Children’s Story” from 2009 and was also in front of the camera in 2017 for the Austrian filmmaker’s last work to date, “Happy End”. Other works from the long oeuvre of the artist Jean-Louis Trintignant include Roger Vadim’s scandalous film “Und immer lures the woman” (1956) or the political thriller “Z” by Costa-Gavras, which won him the 1969 Actor’s Prize in Cannes.
