Gerard Depardieu. The path of an insatiable giant. Rigule P.

The Russian reader does not need to explain who Gerard Depardieu is. His name in our country is popular no less than in France. But those who are well familiar with Depardieu’s work do not always have the concept of his life - and its story is no less worthy of attention than the most exciting films.

The book of Patrick Rigule shows the transformation of a provincial street child and a bully, which almost did not receive education, into the most significant figure of French cinema. The author calls his hero "an insatiable giant." By the age of 60, this giant became not only the “godfather of French cinema”, but also a major businessman who may play an important role in the backstage policy. Patrick Rigule did not set his goal of accusing or defending an “insatiable giant”. The author explores the artistic planet Gerard Depardieu, a planet on which the deep night alternates with dazzling light.
