Alain Delon, with his magnetic beauty and intense gaze, has been the embodiment of the cinema star for decades. However, behind that iconic face lies a man of rare authenticity and determination, aware of no longer belonging to a world that he defines as empty and fake.
His biography is a mix of extraordinary adventures, from the nuns' boarding school to his apprenticeship as a delicatessen boy, up to his experience as a legionary, to subsequently embark on a brilliant career as an actor.
Delon has always lived by his own rules, an attitude that can be penalizing in the world of entertainment, but which was fundamental for him. His iron determination led him to establish himself in an environment often dominated by superficiality.
At just 17 years old, he volunteered for the French army and was sent to Indochina, where he experienced the defeat of Dien Bien Phu on the front line. This experience tempered him, leaving an indelible mark on him and helping to forge his resolute and combative character.
His successful career has always been characterized by courageous choices and the desire not to bow to the conventions of the system; Delon embodied an inimitable figure, capable of resisting passing fashions as an expression of a critical clarity that few today have the courage to demonstrate. In recent years, in the press, he has expressed his disappointment, his disenchantment with a world that he now considers empty and devoid of authentic values; a world that has lost that sense of truth that once animated cinema and culture.
For the legionnaire Alain Delon "PRESENT!"
