Unforgettable hero of The 400 Blows, Jean-Pierre Léaud made his major debut at the age of 14 – and never stopped being an actor. As an icon of international auteur cinema, he redefined masculinity and the approach to embodying a character alongside some of the greatest directors: Truffaut, Godard, Assayas, Tsai Ming-Liang & Aki Kaurismaki, etc.
