The great French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant will officially end his long career with evenings of poetry, on October 1 and 2, in a small theater in Antibes, in the southeast of France, the regional newspaper Nice-Matin writes today ).

The Trentinian, who will turn 11 on December 83, said he still feels "the satisfaction of acting as he did 30 years ago".

"However, I am very old and it is difficult to move... It is time for the young," said the famous French actor.

His last role was in the film "Amour" by the Austrian director Michael Haneke (Michael). That film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Festival in 2012, and then the Oscar as the best foreign film.

In his farewell performance in front of the audience, entitled "Three poets of the 20th century", Trentinjan will recite poems by Boris Van, Robert Denois and Jacques Préver.

"I've played a lot in the theater, maybe a hundred times, but I like this kind of play the most. These three poets have an incredible resonance. They write about difficult topics, but always in a light way," said the French actor.

He added that he himself has a bit of "that anarchist side", saying that he never goes to funerals, he never goes to elections, and he is interested in "little people like Prevera".

His most famous films are "Et Dieu...crea la femme" (Et Dieu...crea la femme) by Roger Vadim (1956), "Dangerous Liaisons" (Les Liaisons dangereuses) (1959), "Heart on the Lips" (Le coeur aux levres). (1967), Les Biches by Claude Chabrol (1968) and many more feature and short films, plays and television films.

He received several major film awards such as the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for the film "The Man Who Lies" (L'Homme qui ment), his last film "Love" won the Palme d'Or and the Oscar, and he won the Cesar as the best actor in the same film and numerous other French awards.
