The Best of Belmondo


                                                                 Jean-Paul Belmondo
                                                                       1933 - 2021

                       "Hell, everyone knows than an ugly guy with a good line gets the chicks."


  1. Breathless                            Jean-Luc Godard                            1959
  2. Pierrot le Fou                      Jean-Luc Godard                              1965
  3. Stavisky                               Alain Resnais                                    1974
  4. That Man From Rio           Philippe de Broca                               1964
  5. Leon Morin, Priest             Jean-Pierre Melville                           1961
  6. Mississippi Mermaid          Francois Truffaut                               1969
  7. A Woman is a Woman        Jean-Luc Godard                              1961
  8. A Double Tour                     Claude Chabrol                                1959
  9. Le Doulos                             Jean-Pierre Melville                         1962
  10. Two Women                         Vittorio De Sica                                1960   
The paucity of good roles after 1975 suggests that Belmondo, even more than Jean-Pierre Leaud, epitomizes the rise and fall of the French New Wave.
