Vincent Cassel 's filmography includes a wide variety of works. The French actor collaborated with the best directors and actors of Hollywood. But it just so happened that they know him more as the husband of the sex symbol of the present, Monica Bellucci. What kind of collaborations connect two actors? And what kind of paintings with the participation of Kassel must be seen?
Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel: filmography
Kassel met his future wife on the set of the movie "Apartment". It should be noted that the joint work of Kassel and Bellucci on the screen does not differ in any kind of artistic merit. There are a lot of bed scenes in these films and very little meaning.
So the film "Apartment" tells about a rather primitive story. A successful businessman in the performance of Vincent on the streets of the city accidentally sees his ex-lover, watches her, then gets into her apartment and then a whole series of romantic and erotic scenes.
Vincent Cassel's filmography in 1997 was replenished with another joint work with Monica: together they appeared in the criminal film Dobermann. Subsequently, many directors tried to speculate on the personal lives of couples, inviting them to erotic projects. Gaspar Noe went the farthest, who not only shot a spectacular scene of the rape of Bellucci in the underpass, but also forced the actors to have real sex in the frame.
Monica Bellucci's husband - Vincent Cassel: filmography. "Elizabeth"
The best work of Vincent Cassel still was shot without the participation of Bellucci. In 1998, Vincent Cassel's filmography included about 20 paintings. Against their background, the work of British director Shekhar Kapoor, entitled "Elizabeth," seriously stood out.
The painting reflected the era of the formation of the personality of Queen Elizabeth, as well as the history of her ascension to the throne. The role of the Queen of England entrusted Cate Blanchett ("The Aviator"). The supporting roles in the film were played by Jeffrey Rush (“Shakespeare in Love”), Joseph Fiennes (“Escaping Beauty”) and Christopher Eccleston (“Poirot”).
Vincent got the role of the Duke of Anjou. The scriptwriters of the film proceeded from the theory that the duke is homosexual (which, by the way, has not been proved), so they dressed the actor in a female dress. I must say, he humorously approached the performance of his role.
"Joan of Arc"
The filmography of Vincent Cassel also includes the epic painting "Joan of Arc" by Luc Besson.
The film is about the fate of a belligerent French girl who once realized that her mission was to save her people. She appeared at the Dauphin’s palace, asked for a detachment of soldiers, and began to smash the British troops to pieces. Jeanne D'Arc eventually gained too much power, so she was accused of heresy and burned at the stake.
Besson assigned the main role in his film to his own wife, Milla Jovovich. Also in the frame appeared Dustin Hoffman (“Rain Man”), Faye Dunaway (“Bonnie and Clyde”) and John Malkovich (“Empire of the Sun”). Vincent played in the picture of Gilles De Re - the closest associate of the Orleans maiden.
"Black Swan"
Films with the participation of Vincent Cassel often become hits: The Brotherhood of the Wolf, Ocean's Twelve Friends, Export Vices, and Enemy of the State No. 1. Not always, of course, the actor is assigned the main roles, but his name appears in the credits of the most intriguing projects.
In 2010, the Black Swan tape by Darren Aranofsky was almost the most discussed project. Not only does the picture tell about a ballerina who is losing her mind, the director also included scenes of same-sex sex, petting, etc. in the film.
In this project, Vincent got the role of the “tempter-snake”: the actor plays in the picture of the director, who, by all means available to him, tries to reveal her sexuality in the actress. In part, Tom is also to blame for the fact that Nina is going crazy in the finale. The film made a big response in society, and Natalie Portman received the long-awaited Oscar.
"The beauty and the Beast"
Kassel decided not to dwell on experiments and in 2014 played the Beast in the French interpretation of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. The plot of this story is well known to everyone since childhood. The rich monster languishes in the castle in complete solitude, until a merchant accidentally falls into his possession. The monster wants to captivate the merchant, but his daughter offers herself in exchange for her father. In the finale, Beauty will sincerely fall in love with the ugly master of the house, which will dispel the old curse.
Kassel’s partner on the set this time was young Lea Seydoux (Inglourious Basterds).
