Biography

Jean-Pierre Léaud is an actor who became an icon of the French New Wave.

Through Truffaut he met Jean-Luc Godard and appeared in eight of his films, winning the Best Actor award at the Berlin Film Festival for Masculin Féminin (1966). He also worked with directors abroad, including Bertolucci on Last Tango in Paris (1972).

He made a comeback in the nineties with new New Wave directors such as Olivier Assayas and Aki Käurismäki.
