Michel Blanc is dead: here are his best lines

Michel Blanc died this Friday, October 4 at the age of 72. Let’s pay tribute to his comic genius with a few nuggets from his iconic role: that of Jean-Claude Dusse in The Bronzed.

Popular actor, director, screenwriter… Michel Blanc is dead. He was 72 years old. “Fuck, Michel… What did you do to us…,” reacted actor Gérard Jugnot on Instagram.

That’s a bit what we say to ourselves, too, since Christmas meals will now be a little bitter, as Tanned people go skiing was an end-of-year classic. With his character as a seducer who takes on more winds than a wind turbine, Michel Blanc will forever remain in our memories in his role of the unforgettable Jean-Claude Dusse. A cult character to whom we pay homage with this video.

A more than remarkable career

Michel Blanc was also much more than this iconic role, even if it was these comic characters of exasperating losers that earned him his immense popularity with the public. He was a historic member of the Splendid, but above all a big name in cinema, since he also revealed himself in other genres. At the Cannes Film Festival, he received several awards as an actor and screenwriter, notably for his film Shadow Walk in 1984. In 2012, it was this time at the Césars that Michel Blanc triumphed: he won the César for best actor for his role in State Exercise. Michel Blanc had a varied filmography, with roles that earned him nine César nominations, with I find you very beautiful (2005), or even Evening Wear (1986).

Michel Blanc is dead and this can only be a conclusion based on a misunderstanding. But you never really die when you are a cinema great, capable of making people laugh and cry, knowing how to be in front of and behind the camera, and above all, when you belong to popular culture.

La Substancea feature film awarded at the Cannes Film Festival, is deliberately intended to be shocking and disturbing. So much so that several people were unable to make it to the end of the film.

It will only be released on November 6 in cinemas in Switzerland, but in the United States, La Substance has been in theaters since September 20. This film, directed by Frenchwoman Coralie Fargeat, previously unknown to the battalion, caused a sensation when it was presented at the Cannes Film Festival. It also won the Palme for best screenplay.
