If you’re asking what all this Alain Delon memorial respect is about, go watch as a starter kit… Purple Noon - Clement Rocco and His Brothers - Visconti Le Samourai - Melville Three examples of why movies are treasured art and Alain Delon is an icon.

@IndieWire @RoyPrice Terrible. The life blood of filmed entertainment, the art department. Very few producers know or can do what they do, you rely on these incredibly gifted people to shape a vision that is the DNA of your movie. When I see this discouragement it’s sickening, let’s stay positive!!!
