My Take

Melvil Poupaud is the kind of French actor who feels like he has always been around, and in a sense he has, since he started as a child performer. Born in Paris in 1973, he has built a career that wanders between mainstream cinema and the more rigorous art house world. What I find appealing is that he is not just an actor but a musician and guitarist as well, which gives his screen presence a certain unhurried, instinctive quality. He has worked with some of France's most distinctive directors over the decades. To me he embodies that very European idea of the actor as a long-haul artist rather than a flash-in-the-pan star.
