His face is undoubtedly one of the most popular in French cinema. Gérard Lanvin has been playing tough guys (“Le Choix des armes” by Alain Corneau, “Tir groupé” by Jean-Claude Missiaen, “Le Prix du danger” by Yves Boisset, “L’Ennemi public no 1” by Jean-François Richet, “Les Lyonnais” by Olivier Marchal) since the 1970s. His comedy credits include Michel Blanc’s “Marche à l’ombre”, Alain Berberian and Frédéric Forestier’s “Boulet” (with Benoît Poelvoorde), Agnès Jaoui’s “Le goût des autres” and Philippe Guillard’s “J’adore ce que vous faites”.
Gérard Lanvin was at the FIFCL to take part in an exceptional meeting to talk about his career. His friends Benoit Poelvoorde, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Vincent Roget and Olivier Marchal came as a surprise to join him on stage to present him with an Honorary Golden Bull.
