Jean Reno arrives at 70 [Espectáculos] – 07/30/2018

Saltillo, Coahuila .- Although no doubt Hollywood likes it, Jean Reno has not lost his essence. In an interview a few years ago, the actor admitted that for every Hollywood production in which he participated, he made a French one, so as not to leave aside his origins.

The histrion made several characters, ranging from action hero, gangster, agent, traveler to time … and everyone showed his talent.

Reno is 70 years old today and to celebrate we present some of his best films.

Purple rivers

The brutal murder of a doctor at the university of a small town in the French Alps, pushes the detective Pierre Niemans (Reno ) to investigate the case. Beside him, police Mark Kerkerian, investigates a desecration of a tomb of a girl run over several years, but discovers that one of the tracks turns out to be the same girl to several years d & # 39; interval. Eventually, the two agents will see themselves in a conspiracy network that involves not only who is behind the murder, but the university and its unorthodox practices.

Without a doubt, he is one of the most complex characters that French has interpreted throughout his career. With this role, he became the detective par excellence.

The Perfect Assassin

In this role with Natalie Portman, Reno practiced shooting and aimed at better simulating his arms control and instructing his partner, who plays Matilda, an orphan, who is forced to live with a hitman (Reno). It's a story of revenge, with a rather dark humor to show Leon Montana (the character of Jean) learn to write while teaching him to film his companion. The show of sentimentality towards someone more fragile, allows to see the vulnerability of the character of Reno, something that had not been easily shown in other films.

Ronin

Like Sean Bean, A French actor trained in shooting at a Reno shooting school plays Vincent, one of five people hired to steal a briefcase that presumably does not should not be open. They will have to survive ambushes, betrayals and shootings in John Frankenheimer's essential action movie.

Godzilla

Based on the Japanese character, Ronald Emmerich reinterprets the titan destroyer as a mutated iguana. nuclear tests in France. Godzilla travels to New York and will depend on a nuclear biologist and several French spies to discover how to make the monster to the sea.

Reno used his fanaticism of singer Elvis Presley imitating his voice and some idioms when personified the French agent, Philippe Roaché, on American soil.

The Visitors

Among the roles that we will rarely see him play, is that of a gentleman who ends up traveling back in time with another group of particular characters from the Middle Ages, magically transferred to the twentieth century, completely disoriented in an absolutely unknown and hostile world, they will try by all means to return to their time. Without a doubt, Count Godofredo de Miramonte, called "El Audaz" (role played by Reno) is one of the most endearing of his career, as it changes the action for comedy and makes it fantastic.

French Kiss

Back in the role of private investigator, Jean Reno embodies Jean-Paul Cardon in this romantic comedy. The story focuses on the characters of Kate and Luke, when she decides to go to Paris to recover her ex-boyfriend, Charlie. Luke is a thief who tries to reform himself and gets the help of Jean-Paul, who has some affection for himself even though he is a detective.

Nikita

This would be recording I would put another section for women in action in the 90s. She is trained to kill and she does it with ease, but her job is difficult and unexpected problems always appear where she is guided by a mentor. Anne Parillaud 's performance, Besson' s strength in telling her story and the final thrust of Reno 's character, gave us the most important action hero of the' 90s.
