AL PACINO



Nés de parents siciliens, Al passe son enfance à New York et s’intéresse tôt au théâtre, et participe à des petites représentations pour son école.

Puis il fait différents petits boulots pour financer sa formation à l’Actor’s Studio , qu’il intègre en 1966. Il reçoit son premier Obie (récompense pour le théâtre) pour « The indian waits the Bronx » en 1968.

Ses débuts au cinéma sont assez remarqués et l'on peut dire qu'Al Pacino va largement contribuer à tous les chefs-d'œuvre qui jalonnent le cinéma américain dans les années 70. Après une apparition dans Me, Nathalie de Fred Coe en 1969, il obtient le rôle principal dans l'excellent Panic in needle Park ( 1970 ) de Jerry Schatzberg.



Sa carrière cinématographique va alors s'emballer et Al Pacino enchaîne une série de films qui oscillent entre l'excellent et le chef-d'œuvre.

En effet, en 1972, alors que les producteurs tentent de lui imposer Robert Redford pour le rôle de Michael Corleone dans Le Parrain, Francis Ford Coppola après de longues négociations, choisit Al Pacino, qui est quasiment inconnu à l'époque.

On connaît la suite : le film est un énorme succès et lance définitivement la carrière du comédien.

En 1974, il reprend le rôle de Michael Corleone pour le second volet du Parrain. Cette fois, c'est Robert De Niro qui interprète Vito Corleone ( dans sa jeunesse ). Nouvel immense succès pour toute l'équipe.

Ce film permet aussi à Pacino de montrer qu'il peut déjà tout jouer. Les années 80 débutent fort pour Al Pacino, puisqu'il intègre le milieu homosexuel dans un très sombre polar et, ce qui est sans doute le meilleur film de William Friedkin, Cruising (La chasse - 1980).

En 1983, c'est la rencontre tant attendue avec Brian De Palma qui lui offre le rôle de Tony Montana dans Scarface, remake ( bien supérieur ) du film de Howard Hawks ( 1932 ). Pour toute une génération, Tony Montana est le plus grand ( et le plus connu ) des personnages cinématographiques, et Al Pacino est exceptionnel (ce qui devient une banalité).

Comme bon nombre de grands acteurs, Al Pacino devra attendre les années 90 et laisser passer cette décennie ( qui n'en est pas réellement une puisqu'il s'agit plutôt de la période qui s'étend de 1984 à 1990 ) de misère artistique et son cortège de navets ( Stallone, Schwarzenegger et consorts… ) avant de retrouver un grand rôle. Cela sera, tout d'abord, et dès 1990, Michael Corleone pour la troisième et dernière partie du Parrain.

En 1996, après un face à face exceptionnel avec De Niro dans Heat, Pacino passe derrière la camera pour témoigner de sa fidélité au théâtre, avec Looking for Richard, mi-adaptation Richard III de Shakespeare, mi-documentaire sur le tournage de la pièce dans le film.



Après L'associé du diable de Taylor Hackford ( 1997 ) et Donnie Brasco ( 1997 ) de Mike Newell, où il est magnifique aux côtés de Johnny Depp, Al Pacino nous a offert deux très belles prestations cette année. D'abord aux côtés de Russell Crowe, dans le très beau Révélations de Michael Mann. Al Pacino a incarné un réalisateur en manque de talent dans Simone et un flic dans Insomnia.

En 2002, sort La recrue au cinéma et, par sa nature de film plus commercial, fait un carton au box office.

Ho t'es chiante,fais comme bob l'éponge, vas sur wikipédia et fais un copié / collé!!! lol



Je plaisante, ne sommes nous pas entre joyeux lurons? ;o)

Mini biographie

One of the most inscrutable actors to ever hit it big, Keanu Reeves has been by turns adored, reviled, and grudgingly respected by the movie-going public. As the controversy over his talent rages on, his career choices and paychecks show him inching toward A-list status. Reeves, whose first name means "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian, was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1964. His mother, Patricia, was a showgirl; his father, Samuel Nowlin Reeves, a geologist. After their marriage dissolved, Keanu moved with his mother and younger sister Kim to New York City, then Toronto. Stepfather #1 was Paul Aaron, a stage and film director--he and Patricia divorced within a year, after which she went on to marry (and divorce) rock promoter Robert Miller and hair salon owner Jack Bond. Reeves never reconnected with his biological father, who is now in prison on charges of cocaine possession. In high school, Reeves was lukewarm toward academics but took a keen interest in ice hockey (as team goalie, he earned the nickname "The Wall") and drama. He eventually dropped out of school to pursue an acting career.

After a few stage gigs and a handful of made-for-TV movies, he scored a supporting role in the Rob Lowe hockey flick Youngblood (1986), which was filmed in Canada. Shortly after the production wrapped, Reeves packed his bags and headed for Hollywood. Reeves popped up on critics' radar with his performance in the dark adolescent drama River's Edge (1986), but his first popular success was the role of totally rad dude Ted Logan in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989). The wacky time-travel movie became something of a cultural phenomenon, and audiences would forever confuse Reeves's real-life persona with that of his doofy on-screen counterpart. Over the next few years, Reeves tried to shake the Ted stigma with a series of highbrow projects. He played a slumming rich boy opposite River Phoenix's narcoleptic male hustler in My Own Private Idaho (1991), an unlucky lawyer who stumbles into the vampire's lair in Dracula (1992), and Shakespearean party-pooper Don Jon in Much Ado About Nothing (1993).

In 1994, the understated actor became a big-budget action star with the release of _Speed (1994)_ . Its success heralded an era of five years in which Reeves would alternate between largely unwatched small films, like Feeling Minnesota (1996) and The Last Time I Committed Suicide (1997), and unwatched big films like Johnny Mnemonic (1995) and Chain Reaction (1996). After all this Reeves did the unthinkable and passed on the Speed sequel, but he struck box-office gold again a few years later with the Wachowski brothers' cyberadventure The Matrix (1999). Despite his deadpan delivery style and reputation as an oaf, Reeves continues to reel in choice roles and fat paychecks. Whatever he knows, he's not telling the public--his self-deprecating interview tactics and mysterious private life provide little insight into his artistry. As far as Reeves is concerned, it seems, he's just a regular guy who rides a motorcycle, plays in a band (Dogstar), and shows up every now and then for a movie shoot.

He just couldn't deal with having his private life on the front page all the time".



(On River Phoenix) "River was a remarkable artist and a rare human being. I miss him every day".



(On River Phoenix and My Own Private Idaho (1991)) "We were doing I Love You to Death (1990), and we got the Idaho script. We were driving in a car on Santa Monica Boulevard, probably on the way to a club, and were talking really fast about the whole idea. We were excited. It could have been like a bad dream, a dream that never follows through because no one commits, but we just forced ourselves into it. We said "Okay, I'll do it if you do it. I won't do it if you don't." We shook hands. That was it".

de troi filles à jérusalem don je ne me souviens pa du

nom. voilà

tinkiète je ne cherchai pa vraiiimen à avoir ces 10 points.

Je n'ai pas envie d'aller faire des recherches compliquees sur internet alors je vais juste le decrire comme je le vois...



Gerard Depardieu est le plus grand comedien francais vivant, c'est un des seuls qui fait passer ce qu'il faut par le regard. Il a fait de tout, du bon et du moins bon, il n'empeche qu'en un film (Quand j'etais chanteur) il s'est rappele qu'il est la, qu'il est doue et qu'il n'a rien a prouver !



Il agace parce qu'il en fait trop : il joue trop, il mange trop, il boit trop, etc... Mais qu'importe, il est cultive, interessant, drole et vivant. Il reste pour moi un comedien fabuleux qui sait te faire aimer un personnege particulierement antipathique juste par son regard triste ! Je sais que peu de gens seront d'accord avec moi mais ca m'est egal, ce mec est un genie et si les gens ne s'en rendent pas compte alors tant pis pour eux, mais ne vous arretez pas a ce qu'on voit de lui, regardez le et ecoutez le...

Edward NORTON

Né le 18 Août 1969 à Boston, Massachusetts



Diplômé en Histoire de l'Université de Yale, Edward Norton est féru d'art dramatique depuis son plus jeune âge. Après ses études, il travaille au Japon, d'où il revient bilingue. Installé à New York, il monte sur les planches avec la troupe des Signature Players, groupe théâtral connu pour avoir monté les pièces du dramaturge Edward Albee.



C'est en 1996 qu'Edward Norton attire l'attention des producteurs de Peur primale, et qu'il décroche le double rôle d'Aaron Stampler, jeune schizophrène bègue au coeur d'un procès mené par Richard Gere. Une interprétation qui lui vaut une nomination à l'Oscar du Meilleur second rôle. Il enchaîne alors immédiatement avec Tout le monde dit I Love You, de Woody Allen (1996).



Acteur caméléon, il prend, en 1998, plusieurs kilos de muscles pour incarner le néo-nazi repenti d'American History X, performance pour laquelle il est nommé à l'Oscar du meilleur acteur. Suit sa composition de Lester, l'un des Joueurs de John Dahl (1998). Habitué des rôles à double facette, il interprète à nouveau un schizophrène dans la fable anarchique très controversée de David Fincher, Fight club (1999), avant de passer derrière la caméra, dans un registre plutôt inattendu de sa part, avec la comédie romantique Au nom d'Anna (2000) dont il est également l'interprète principal.



Aussi à l'aise dans le thriller (The Score, 2001) que dans la comédie (Death to Smoochy, 2002), Edward Norton part affronter le redoutable Hannibal Lecter dans Red Dragon, le remake du Sixieme Sens de Michael Mann. En 2003, il tient la vedette de La 25e heure de Spike Lee puis poursuit un parcours particulièrement éclectique, du film d'action Braquage à l'italienne (2003) au film historique Kingdom of Heaven (2005), en passant par le drame Down in the valley

Né en 1970 dans le régime communiste de l'URSS, Igor Alexei Alexendreitch Passlovitch, plus connu sous le nom de Passov, a grandi dans une petite famille paysanne du Caucase.

Rapidement, l'enfant curieux et abstrait qu'il est présente de manifestes prédispositions à l'harmonica. A l'âge de 3 ans, il interprète ainsi, pour la fête communale de son village caucasien Stroubalotchville, le récital complet de l'oeuvre de Luis Mariano. Devenu la petite star du village, le petit Igor est repéré par des commissaires politiques alors présent à Stroubalotchville (ils étaient venus recenser le nombre de dissidents pro occidentaux).

Les parents d'Igor sont contactés par le régime, et Igor envoyé à Moscou, où on l'invite à jouer son récital de Mariano au prestigieux Moscovite Opéra : or, pris de panique, Igor se mélange dans les notes. C'est la catastrophe : ses parents sont fissa déportés au goulag.

Accablé par son sentiment de culpabilité, Passov trouve alors du réconfort en adoptant à 13 ans, la profession très enviée en URSS, de sexeur de poussin.

Il y rencontre Nadegia Imannovitch Demiusotiach, qu'il épouse à l'âge de 14 ans.

Or, le ménage connait de mauvais jours lorsqu'il s'avère que Nadegia est en réalité un homme. Le divorce sera long et douloureux (Igor devant se défaire de sa collection de baguettes de tambour), aussi notre ami s'investit-il davantage encore dans le sexage de poussin.

Son assiduité ayant fait ses preuves, il est élu chef de service à l'usine de Sexiavitch Poussivicth.

MAis, une troupe de mimes passe alors dans la ville. Avant qu'ils ne soient tous déportés au goulag pour "emmerdage artistique", leur spectacle intitulé "le tsarevitch" fascine Passov : il décide, coute que coute, d'exercer la profession de comique professionnel.

Son premier spectacle se déroule au goulag Numéro 3778 de Sibérie. Passov y est fortement applaudi. Les larmes aux yeux, Passov reconnait dans la foule de spectateurs ses propres parents. Mais, appelé fissa à Moscou pour se produire dans un cabaret, il se contente de leur laisser un orthographe et part à la rencontre de son succès.

Son spectacle, plagiat éhonté du Tsarevicth joué par les mimes déportés, fait un malheur. Mais Passov n'est pas inquiété par le régime, car il est entré en communication constante avec l'âme de Staline, par spiritisme. De fait, on le protège, on le chérit, on l'écoute.

Son premier rôle au cinéma est celui d'un mime désabusé, dans le magnifique "Tspoolotich" de Kasimir Vastrotoff : un succès mondial en Russie, faisant environ 1000 spectateurs (il n'existait alors que 10 cinémas en URSS).

Mais les sirènes d'Hollywood l'appellent dans le bloc occidental.

PAssov signe un contrat juteux avec Universal, et devait tenir le premier rôle du film "A la poursuite d'Octobre Rouge"^.

Hélas, son avion l'emmenant à Los ANgeles s'écrase dans les Landes, où les restes de Passov seront dévorés par les survivants, oubliés.

Un destin tragique, qui ne fait que récompenser le talent inimaginable de Passov.

Fille du chanteur Guy Béart et de Genevieve Galea, mannequin apparu dans Les Carabiniers de Godard, Emmanuelle Béart fait ses premiers pas à l'écran à 7 ans dans La Course du lièvre à travers les champs (1972). Après un bref passage dans une école d'art dramatique à Paris, elle trouve son premier grand rôle - avec à la clé une nomination au César du Meilleur espoir- dans L'Amour en douce de Molinaro (1985), qui marque également sa rencontre avec celui qui sera son compagnon pendant dix ans, Daniel Auteuil. Mais le film qui lui apporte la célébrité est Manon des Sources, la saga à succès de Claude Berri : son rôle de sauvageonne lui vaut le César du Meilleur second rôle féminin en 1987.



Loin de son image glamour, Emmanuelle Béart fait en 1989 une composition très remarquée de jeune délinquante dans Les Enfants du désordre. Sa carrière est ensuite marquée par sa rencontre avec des auteurs prestigieux : Rivette (elle pose nue pour le peintre Piccoli dans La Belle noiseuse en 1991), Techiné, qui lui fait jouer une prostituée dans J'embrasse pas ou encore Chabrol (L'Enfer en 1994). Cette admiratrice de Romy Schneider trouve deux de ses plus beaux rôles dans les derniers films de Sautet : elle est une violoniste qui bouleverse la vie de deux musiciens dans Un coeur en hiver, puis devient l'étrange confidente d'un vieil écrivain incarné par Michel Serrault dans Nelly et Monsieur Arnaud (1995), deux jolis succès. Wargnier lui offre un autre beau personnage dans Une femme française, mais cette fois le public n'est pas au rendez-vous.



Après un détour par Hollywood (Mission : impossible de De Palma en 1996), cette comédienne sensuelle au regard mélancolique est en 2000 l'émouvante héroïne de la fresque d'Assayas Les Destinées sentimentales, et on retrouve son tempérament fiévreux dans Le Temps retrouvé de Ruiz et La Répétition de Catherine Corsini en 2001 - trois films présentés en compétition à Cannes. Sur un mode plus léger, elle prend part à La Bûche, comédie populaire de Danièle Thompson, campe une domestique lubrique dans 8 femmes d'Ozon et une attachante bimbo dans A boire de Marion Vernoux. A l'approche de la quarantaine, l'actrice reste un sex-symbol du cinéma français (le troublant Nathalie... en 2004) et continue d'inspirer de grands cinéastes, comme Michel Deville (Un fil à la patte, 2005) ou les vieilles connaissances que sont Techiné (Les Egarés) et Rivette (Histoire de Marie et Julien
