Bond villain turns hero to launch French Film Festival
The 49-year-old Parisian, familiar as the evil Dominic Greene in 2008’s Quantum of Solace, had high praise for the festival and Cork itself, having spent three months near Bantry while nursing a broken heart in the mid-1980s.
“It was an honour to be invited to open the festival with my film La Chambre Bleue. I could really feel the love of cinema from the festival team,” said Amalric at a reception at Cork Vision Centre on North Main Street.
