Some sad news, actor Guillaume Depardieu died today at the age of 37 from pneumonia complications. Depardieu was kind of infamous fellow for his falling outs with his famous father, his altercations (that led to jail) and for the fact that he had his leg amputated in 2003.

I’d simply like to remember him for his performances - two of which came in two of my favorite films from this year - The Duchess of Langeais directed by Jacques Rivette (the trailer is below) and Serge Bozon’s La France (the trailer is after the jump).

takepart to see his filmography and then watch a Depardieu film
