Franco Citti
Franco Citti’s acting style was defined by a raw, unrefined naturalism that stemmed from his background as a non-professional actor. Discovered by Pier Paolo Pasolini while working as a day laborer, Citti became the quintessential "face" of Italian neorealism’s gritty underclass.
Critics frequently noted his "intense screen presence" and "truculent melancholy".
Directed by Marcel Carné
Written by Jacques Prévert
Jean-Pierre Leud
Léaud is known for a highly idiosyncratic acting style characterized by staccato diction, intense mannerisms, and a tendency toward improvisation.
My favorite actor.
Roberto Rossellini
His work, characterized by its documentary-like authenticity and use of on-location shooting, revolutionized global cinema and deeply influenced the French New Wave.
