Luis Bunuel’s L’Age d’Or



Gérard Depardieu born in 1948 in the provincial French town of Chateauroux, the son of a metal-sheet worker. He was a great adventurer in his childhood and had a troubled life, left the school at 12 and run away from home. Young and wanderer in the past, Gérard Depardieu started his excellent acting career at a small theatre. After minor roles in cinema, his big break came in 1973 when Bernard Blier offered him a lead role in Les Valseuses. That film established a new type of hero in the French cinema and the actor’s popularity grew enormously.
