My Take
Denis Ménochet is an actor hitting his prime, and I am all in. International audiences first knew him as Perrier LaPadite, the French farmer interrogated in the opening of Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, and in 2023 he won the Goya Award for Best Actor for The Beasts. He uses that large frame to change the air of a scene just by standing in it, which is a quality I am a sucker for. He brings the full-bodied, human texture of French cinema right at you. The Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres confirms home recognition too. I expect him to break out even wider.
