Jean-Paul Belmondo (April 9, 1933 - September 6, 2021)

“Bébel” as a young former boxer and knockabout was thrust into international art-house stardom by Jean-Luc Godard's “Breathless” (1960) and became a major box office draw in all kinds of films.

“The Magnifique” was the personification of the Old World's infatuation with the New, his character's Humphrey Bogart fixation (the cigarette, the trilby, the tie, the rumpled nonchalance) expressing all our sophomoric crushes on American pop culture and style, as well as the Nouvelle Vague's obsession with pulp.

Born in 1933 he his the son of sculptor Paul Belmondo. After contracting tuberculosis, he became interested in performing, and applied to the elite National Academy of Dramatic Arts, eventually gaining a place in 1952.

After graduation, Belmondo began acting in the theatre, appearing in plays by Anouilh, Feydeau and George Bernard Shaw. He also secured a string of small film roles: in one of them, Marc Allegret’s 1958 comedy Un Drôle de Dimanche, he was spotted by Godard who was then still a critic at Cahiers du Cinéma. Godard cast him in a 12-minute short, Charlotte and Her Boyfriend – billed as “a homage to Cocteau”.

The success of Breathless catapulted him into the limelight and he quickly became an international star, appearing in Peter Brook’s adaptation of Moderato Cantabile and playing opposite Sophia Loren in Two Women, from Italian director Vittorio De Sica.

But he preferred to concentrate on French cinema, extending his relationship with Godard with “ A Woman Is a Woman” (196) and developing another with Jean-Pierre Melville. Belmondo played an ambiguous, sexy cleric in Léon Morin (1962), following it up with “Le Doulos” (1963).

He specialised in playing gangsters and low-lives, although he scored a big hit in 1962 with “Cartouche” opposite Claudia Cardinale. “That Man from Rio” – a spy spoof with Françoise Dorléac – was another big hit with director Philippe de Broca.

In 1967-8, Jean-Paul Belmondo returned to work, making films for Truffaut’s “Mississippi Mermaid”, Claude Lelouch’s “Love Is a Funny Thing” and Jacques Deray’s “Borsalino”.

Jean-Paul Belmondo kept up a string of popular hits in into the mid-80s, with comedies, action films and crime dramas, but his output began to slow towards the end of the decade, and he returned to the theatre, performing in “Cyrano de Bergerac” and Jean-Paul Sartre’s “Kean”. 

His highest-profile film role of the 1990s was in Lelouch’s adaptation of “Les Misérables”, while he reunited with Delon in “Une Chance Sur Deux” in 1998.

He did not make any films until 2009’s “A Man and His Dog”, which did not hide the effects of his condition (In 2001, he was hospitalised with a stroke).

He was gifted with athleticism, great likability, masculinity and an extraordinarily expressive face making him an indelible mark in “L'art du cinéma”.

Rest in power !
