Jean Louis Trintignant, acteur et comédien, s'est éteint discrètement en juin 2022. Sa voix et son sourire furent ses atouts aux yeux du public mais il fut surtout un immense comédien qui a tourné avec les plus grands réalisateurs français et transalpins de sa génération : Costa-Gavras, Lelouch, Vadim, Robbe Grillet, Rohmer, Truffaut, Bertolucci, Scola, Haneke. Il abandonnera petit à petit le cinéma vers la fin des années 80 pour se consacrer au théâtre et à la lecture de textes et poésies.
