An intimate documentary portrait of the legendary French actor. Directed by Carole Weisweiller and Jean-Christophe Rosé, the film centers on an in-depth conversation filmed in 1995 between Weisweiller and the aging star. Rather than a dry chronological career recap, the film offers a deeply personal retrospective. Marais candidly reflects on his multi-faceted artistic journey—spanning acting, painting, and sculpting.
