GÉRARD PHILIPE: THE LAST WINTER

25 November 1959. At the age of 37, Gérard Philipe has just passed away, at the top of his career, caught by a disease he didn't know he had. He was not just the greatest actor of his generation but was also involved in all the battles of his time: as a member of the FFI resistance, as a militant against the atomic bomb and for peace during the Cold War, as a defender of culture within the TNP and as an activist for popular education. Built on a series of flashbacks with archival footages, this documentary will be one of the highlights of Gérard Philipe's 100th birthday celebrations in 2022.
