An essential figure in the 7th art, Michel Hazanavicius recently embarked on an ambitious new project: that of adapting a story by Jean-Claude Grumberg to the cinema while trying his hand at a new genre with The Most Valuable of Goods, a work focused on the Second World War and the Shoah and which it is now possible to discover in cinemas since November 20, 2024.

Jean-Louis Trintignant: Never without his wife Marianne
“At the time I told him about it, he was already blind. It was his wife, Marianne, who read the text to him. He called me. We talked. I went to see him at his home in Collias, in the south of Francetowards Uzès“, Michel Hazanavicius reported to our colleagues. “We recorded his voice near Avignon. I loved these moments. It was very touching. His voice capsizes your heart“.
The one that Jean-Louis Trintignant married in 2000 and whom he never left until his last breath, was therefore of precious support to them.

Marianne Hoepfner has participated in the 24h of Le Mans several times in addition to having been the co-driver of her famous companion on the Monte-Carlo rally in 1982.
