“A man and a woman”
Born Françoise Dreyfus on April 27, 1932 in Paris, Anouk Aimée achieved international notoriety by sharing the screen with Jean-Louis Trintignant in the legendary “A Man and a Woman” by Claude Lelouch, Palme d’Or in 1966.
The role earned her the Golden Globe for Best Actress and an Oscar nomination.
Anouk Aimée will have filmed with the greatest of Franco-Italian cinema: Jacques Demy (“Lola”), Federico Fellini (“La Dolce vita” and “Huit et demi”), Marco Bellocchio, Jacques Becker or André Cayatte, who launched it in 1949 in “The Lovers of Verona”.
It had become rarer recently. But she made a moving return in 2019 to Cannes, to reform the legendary couple of “A Man and a Woman”, in a sequel shot by Claude Lelouch, “The Most Beautiful Years of a Life”.
