2 Zazie dans le Metro, an adaptation of a novel by Raymond Queneau and directed by Louis Malle.
Coup de Torchon – Noiret and Stephane Audran
3 Life is Nothing But directed by Tavernier, with Sabine Azema.
The Clockmaker was his first collaboration with Tavernier.
“He was a friend, a brother, a father. I owe everything to him”, more from Bertrand Tavernier ) .
Murphy’s War with Peter O’Tool
(He played Pablo Neruda in the popular postman film and people will remember him as the guy from the sentimental Cinema Paradiso, a film with hundreds of kissing scenes. Those films are not truly representive of the great Italian cinema tradition of De Sica, Visconti, Rossellini, Fellini, and Pasolini. )
He was a Libra with moon in Aquarius, here. (Richard Hell has this combo.)
Not surprisingly he was A Libra/Horse
