Michel Piccoli

Léopold Schweitzer

Throughout his amazing career, Michel Piccoli has been directed by several legendary filmmakers, such as Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, Luis Buñuel, Marco Ferreri, Jacques Demy and Claude Chabrol. His performances have been awarded in the most important Film Festivals, including Cannes, Berlin and Locarno. Piccoli’s ability to embody each character, while always keeping his cinematic charisma, can be attested in numerous films, including Godard’s "Contempt", Carax’s "Mauvais Sang",  Ferreri’s "Dillinger Died", Angelopoulos’ "The Dust of Time" or Moretti’s "We Have a Pope". Under the direction of Raúl Ruiz, he joined the cast of "Genealogies of a Crime" and "That Day". Besides "Lines of Wellington", Michel Piccoli can be also seen on the latest films directed by Alain Resnais and Leos Carax, both presented at the Cannes Film Festival.
