This is for commemotating people who recently passed away.
Very sad to hear the news that great French actor Philippe Noire's departure.
He left many great films and my favourites are
Zazie den le metro
La vie de chateau
Alexandre le bienheureux
Le Vieux fusil
Cinema Paradiso
Il Postino
Alexsandre le bienheureux is a little gem: when the protagonist's bossy wife was killed by car accident he regains freedom, stops working and stays in bed all day! His pet dog is doing his errands. I also love really beautiful soundtrack by Valdimr Cosma.
In Le Vieux Fusil, Noire plays a vengeful surgeon whose beautiful wife and daughter were murdered by Nazis. I saw the film on TV when I was 12, still cannot get over its devastating image.
I missed an opportunity to meet him in 2000 when he was attending fund raising gala at Institut Francais, but very grateful to see many excellent films he made in more than 40 years and many people will discover/watch them.
