Gerard Depardieu: Larger than Life

Gérard Depardieu « Life-size ». Here he is, at his home. His cigarettes within reach. Serene and playful, Gérard Depardieu talks about himself unvarnished. Of course, there are the movies from Les Valseuses to Cyrano. But in his memory mainly resonate meetings, faces, sometimes vanished ones and words, always the words. This "lifeaholic", this "bon vivant" with sevenleague boots on, delivers his journey from Châteauroux with Dédé and Lilette, his parents, to Calcutta with Satyajit Ray, while paying tribute to Patrick Dewaere. A movie directed by Richard Melloul. (Cannes Film Festival)
