Philippe Nahon, de l'acteur fétiche à l'icône

2005· 54 min★ 7.9· Documentary

Since the beginning of the 70s, committed and willing, Philippe Nahon has been exploring the strangest roles and became at the dawn of the 90s, with "Carne", a rising star and a source of inspiration for a generation of young directors such as Gaspar Noé, for whom he has become a favorite actor. At fifty, he has become an emblematic figure for a new generation of filmmakers. Even today, he is still in full rebellion against age and invests in short films and first films of young directors with an enthusiasm still intact. Through the testimonies of his first partners, filmmakers of several generations, relatives and fans, this documentary sketches the portrait of a committed man, an actor unknown to the general public, an icon for film lovers.
