    • Synopsis
    • November the 25th, 1959. Gérard Philipe, 37 years old, has just died from an illness he didn’t know the existence of. In the hours following his passing, an anonymous, compact, and colorful crowd converges onto his home, in order to pay their respects. Gérard Philipe didn’t just settle for being the greatest actor of his generation. He was also an activist, who fought in many defining social conflicts of his time: he was an FFI resistant, fought against the atomic bomb and campaigned for peace in the middle of the Cold War, was a fierce defendant of culture at the TNP, campaigned for widespread education. In 2022, this documentary built on a series of flashbacks composed of archive images, directed by Patrick Jeudy and adapted from Jérôme Garcin’s novel, will be one of the highlights of Gerard Philipe’s 100th birthday anniversary.
