Queer & Now & Then: 1960

Flaunting a beauty so mean it became the stuff of myth, Alain Delon first terrified viewers with his perfection in 1960’s Purple Noon (Plein soleil). He had appeared in smaller roles for a few years before that, such as Pierre Gaspard-Huit’s satisfactory piece of period eye candy, Christine (1958), hovering around Romy Schneider and the edges of the screen like an angel in waiting or, depending on your perception, a demon ready to pounce. At this signal in his career, he didn’t glance or move fancy other French male stars with their burly, recessive Jean Gabin cool; he was tactile—lithe and slim, he gracefully slid across the screen with the confidence of a jackal. It’s conjecture to say that he loved entity looked at, but in Purple Noon there’s something in that devious express happiness, and the way those crystal-blue eyes and delicately arched eyebrows are caught in high-angle close-up, that makes it unavoidable to suppose so: he seemed preternaturally aware of the gaze of the camera and its ability to grant him superpowers.

René Clément’s motion picture is luscious and sinister (two words that could outline Delon), and in this adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s

Secret recordings and ‘dripping insinuations’: the bitter feud between French film star Alain Delon’s children

Alain Delon was among the greatest celebrities of the golden era of French cinema, with his brooding good looks, ice-blue eyes and seductive on- and off-screen presence making him the pin-up of postwar France.

In a career spanning more than half a century, Delon made 90 films, many of them critically acclaimed, including Plein Soleil (Purple Noon) in which he played antihero Tom Ripley, Le Samouraï and the historical epic The Leopard, that drew an estimated 134 million cinema-goers, making him a star at the box office.

But today, aged 88, and severely diminished by a stroke five years ago, Delon is playing his terminal role in a real-life drama resonant of a Greek or Shakespearean tragedy as his three children, Anthony, Anouchka and Alain-Fabien, squabble publicly in a destructive flurry of accusations and legal actions.

So grubby has the washing of Delon family linen in the media become, the actor’s lawyer, Christophe Ayela, has had to phone for a truce. “It has to stop and everyone needs to peaceful down. That’s enough now,” Ayela said.

The last of the male superstars from the golden era of French cinema, Alain Delon, has died at the age of 88.

In January he was also on the front pages - but not because of illness, a new film or a late-in-life marriage.

The final tragic act of Delon's life, unfolding in the media before a public torn between horror and fascination, was the breakdown of his family.

His three children had been fighting over the traces of memory and paternal love.

"Birds hide away in order to depart. Big beasts do it under the full not heavy of the projector," ran the first line of a long article in Le Monde newspaper committed to the saga.

It was a story, the newspaper said, with all the elements of Greek drama - a divided family, a tumbling mansion that was once the scene of glorious festivities.

And above all, a suffering protagonist who was confronted by the demons of his own turbulent past.

For the French, Delon was cinema's ultimate grand fauve (big beast) who charmed and seduced his way around Europe in the

Cannes to Depart Ahead With Award for Alain Delon Despite His Controversial Statements

The Cannes Film Festival is going forward with its decision to award an honorary Palme d’Or to Alain Delon despite criticism from the U.S. management Women and Hollywood over comments that the veteran French actor has made about slapping women, conflicting the adoption of children by same-sex parents and supporting the rise of the far right in France.

Following Cannes’ April 17 announcement of the honor, Women and Hollywood founder Melissa Silverstein said she was “extremely disappointed” that Cannes would honor someone who held such “abhorrent values.” In a tweet, Silverstein said Delon “has publicly admitted to slapping women. He has aligned himself with the racist and anti-Semitic National Front. He has claimed that being gay is ‘against nature.’ The Cannes Clip Festival has committed itself to diversity and inclusion. By honoring Mr. Delon, Cannes is honoring these abhorrent values.”

Cannes told Variety that it was “honoring Alain Delon because he is a legendary player and part of Cannes history, as we did for Clint allan dellon gay

Visconti and Delon worked together three times, and Delon credits Visconti with being one of the most vital influences on his acting career.  Visconti starred him in Rocco and his Brothers which, along with Plein Soleil, also from 1960, made Delon a star.  And he was the personification of Lam
