Biography

Alain Depardieu est le fils de René Depardieu, tôlier-formeur en carrosserie, et Compagnon du devoir, et d'Alice Marillier, mère au foyer. Il est l'aîné de la fratrie de six frères et sœurs, dont Gérard. Il fait des études, se marie en 1969, devient architecte. C'est en rendant visite à son frère sur divers tournages, dont celui des Valseuses, qu'il découvre les milieux du cinéma et prend la décision de changer de voie. Barbet Schroeder lui donne sa première chance, puis Roman Polanski lui propose d'être régisseur adjoint sur le film Le Locataire en 1976, ce qui le décide à opter pour la production cinématographique. Il est notamment le producteur de Danton dans les années 1980, et de plusieurs films ayant eu une forte diffusion dans les années 1990, tels que : Une époque formidable en 1991, La Leçon de piano, film primé à Cannes en 1993, et Fallait pas !.

A mute Scotswoman named Ada McGrath is sold by her father into marriage to a New Zealand frontiersman named Alisdair Stewart, bringing her young daughter Flora with her. The voice that the audience hears in the opening narration is "not her speaking voice, but her mind's voice". Ada has not spoken a word since she was six years old and no one, including herself, knows why. She expresses herself through her piano playing and through sign language, for which her daughter has served as the interpreter. Flora later dramatically tells two women in New Zealand that her mother has not spoken since the death of her husband who died as a result of being struck by lightning. Ada cares little for the mundane world, occupying herself for hours every day with the piano. Flora, it is later learned, is the product of a relationship with a teacher with whom Ada believed she could communicate through her mind, but who "became frightened and stopped listening," and thus left her.

Lambert, a withdrawn middle-aged man, works the night shift at a Parisian petrol station. He has no friends, no family; his only companion is his bottle of rum. One night, a young Arab man, Bensoussan, enters his shop — and his life. This stranger has also no family, lives alone in a dingy room, and scrapes together a living as a drug dealer. The two solitary men develop a friendship — but this is brutally brought to an end when Bensoussan is killed in front of Lambert. Lambert soon realises that his new friend was murdered by his drug dealing associates and sets out to avenge his death — assisted by Lola, a punk girl who knew Bensoussan briefly. By doing this, Lambert manages to come to terms with his own tragic past.
