My Take
Guillaume Depardieu leaves me with a lingering ache. Growing up as the eldest son of Gérard Depardieu meant carrying an enormous shadow, yet he proved his talent was his own, winning both the César for Best Male Revelation and the Prix Jean Gabin in 1996. That he died at just 37 in 2008 makes his story one of bright, interrupted promise. I admire most that he earned his acclaim on the strength of his own performances rather than his surname. His life was short, but the light he cast on French cinema was unmistakably real, and I keep it in mind.
