The british actor Albert Finney, seen in the cinema in “The Duelists”, “Miller’s Crossing”, “Big Fish” or more recently “Skyfall”, has passed away this Friday, February 8, at the age of 82 years. D. R., The british cinema is in mourning. One of its most iconic actors Albert Finney – sixty-year career – has passed away this Friday, February 8, 2019, at the age of 82 years. Seen especially among Ridley Scott, Sidney Lumet and the Coen brothers, the huge comedian has built over the years an impressive filmography, with the capacity of renewal to make themselves known to new generations of spectators. Thus, his last appearance in film dates back to 2012 in Skyfall, Sam Mendes, alongside “James Bond” Daniel Craig.
D. A. In Tom Jones which he won in 1964, an Oscar nomination for Best actor. A graduate of the royal Academy of dramatic art and then the Royal Shakespeare Company of Stratford-upon-Avon, Albert Finney is a man of the theatre who knows a lot of success. He rapidly became interested in this musical comedy, a field that turns out to be a lucrative one for himself, and then launches into the production and thus affects 10% of the revenue of Tom Jones, a film in which he also plays. After which he decided to go behind the camera and directed Charlie Bubbles (1968) and Gumshoe (1971), probably under an assumed name. As a film actor, it is revealed by the independent film Saturday night and Sunday morning (1960) in which he plays a young worker rebel. He composed throughout his career roles eclectic and disparate : the husband immature Audrey Hepburn in Trip to two of Stanley Donen (1966), the detective Hercule Poirot in the Crime of The Orient Express (1974), a film in which he gives a reply to Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman and Jacqueline Bisset, the minister of police of Napoleon, Fouche, in The Duelists by Ridley Scott (1977), or even a maître d’hôtel zany under the direction of John Huston (Annie, 1982). D. R. With Judi Dench in Skyfall (2012), his last film. If Albert Finney is more rare on the screens from the 90’s, he opts, however, for roles of choice. Guy at the time of the prohibition in Miller’s crossing by Joel Coen, it then combines with Steven Soderbergh for three successful collaborations : a lawyer in Erin Brockovich, the chief of staff of the White House in Traffic, or the father of Catherine Zeta-Jones in Ocean’s Twelve, Finney keeps the pace. It is also recognized under the traits of the historical figure John Newton, explorer, politician, and poet of the state, in the Amazing Grace for Michael Apted, and then old man freakish in the poetic Big Fish Tim Burton. His most recent compositions are so far away to go unnoticed. He then found Tim Burton and Ridley Scott for the second time, on the occasion of the dubbing of the animated film The Wedding funeral for the first, and alongside Russell Crowe in A great year (2006) for the second. His appearances on the big screen, although sporadic, remain notable : either alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman in 7h58 ce samedi-là (2007), or in two movies of the saga of Jason Bourne (The bourne ultimatum and the Jason Bourne : the legacy), its performance is still as deadly in its early stages, which earned him to get a role in another blockbuster, the highly anticipated Skyfall (2012), 25th-component film of the adventures of James Bond.
