A French actor, whose enigmatic performances helped establish an avant-garde film style, the nouvelle vague (New Wave), as an influential genre in France and abroad was born on April 9, 1933 (age 82), Neuilly-sur-Seine, Nanterre, France. Jean Paul made his motion-picture acting debut in the first feature film of French director Jean-Luc Godard, A Bout de Souffle (Breathless, 1959), one of the most important works of the nouvelle vague. The movement is also associated with innovative films by French directors Francois Truffaut, Alain Resnais, and Louis Malle among others. However, it was the work of both Godard and Belmondo in A Bout de Souffle that came to epitomize the romantic irreverence of the nouvelle vague: Godard's jarring camera work emphasized Belmondo's performance as a coolly detached and unpredictable gangster. Belmondo subsequently acted in several other films, including the farcical action movie L'Homme de Rio (That Man from Rio, 1964) and, with Godard directing again, the celebrated Pierrot le Fou (Pierrot the Fool, 1965), in which Belmondo shifts his character from dry humour to suicidal despair. Throughout his career, Belmondo has employed a versatile acting technique enabling him to play a variety of parts, performing both comic and tragic roles with a mixture of cynicism and sincerity, strength and frailty. In the late 1960s he created his own film company, Cerito Films, which was sold in 1990. He founded Annabel Productions in 1990.
