Maurice Jacquemont, chief director of the theater "Studio" on the Champs-Elysees, invited Trintignant in the role of Hamlet. Rehearsals lasted almost a year. The premiere was a huge success. After fifteen submissions in Paris, the play was taken to Marseilles. Southerners Trentinyanu staged a triumphal reception. "What he did in Hamlet - wrote one of the critics - and what he is doing in general, is the very opposite actor′s" number. "He seeks the restraint comes to asceticism, to immobility. His power over the audience he required richness of his imagination. "In the image of Hamlet Trintignant put his agonizing thoughts, his experience of recent years. the Prince of Denmark, he played like a man who" sheltered in the frenzy to escape from the surrounding stupidity and mediocrity. This is - anti-hero. It could would be part of my life. Thanks to her I understood more than in all the years of work in film.
Roger Vadim, Bardot′s first husband, took Trintignant in the film "Dangerous Liaisons" (1959) on the famous novel by de Laclos.
In 1960, Trintignant played in the Italian film director Dino Risi "Overtaking". His hero, a shy student named Bruno, in addition to their own will become engaged in the "sweet life". The presence of such a partner, as Vittorio Gasman, serious thought, which developed the film with the seeming frivolity, the hand of a skilled director - all this has allowed Trentinyanu extract Role "modest young man" maximum possible.
Was a successful role in the film "The Battle of the island" Alain Cavalier. Trintignant himself considered it one of the best in his early works.
He was again invited Roger Vadim: "Castle in Sweden" (1963, based on the works of Françoise Sagan).

Then there was a role in the melodrama Serge Corbera "Seventeenth Heaven" (1965), where Trintignant was playing washer windows, posing as a famous writer.
When Jean-Louis has agreed to play the main role in the film "Man and Woman" (1966), the script did not exist. Directed by Claude Lelouch told Trentinyanu plot in general terms. It was about a love affair between a doctor and an assistant director. The heroes are young, but not too much, they nearly thirty. Both were married, both have children, he - a boy, she - a girl about the same age.
As under such conditions will develop their romance, was to dofantazirovat in the process of filming. The main thing for Lelouch was the behavior of actors, Trintignant and Anouk Aimée. As a result, the film struck audiences truthfulness and sincerity of intonation.
Trintignant is above all in the actors actually valued the freedom of improvisation. "His contribution on the set - shows Lelouch - was very significant. He is always sensitive, open, receptive to what is happening. Always something to offer the director. I call it - to make gifts. Trintignant - an actor who "makes the gift." But only when he feels himself an accomplice in the creation of something significant. In "Men and women, he would often pick up and develop what I had only planned."
It Trentinyanu belonged idea to change the profession of the hero - to make it not a doctor, a racing driver. This allowed Lelouch remove some very spectacular scenes in the circuit and during the rally in Monte Carlo.
Anouk Aimee and Jean-Louis Trintignant played really modern. That this film has found a true artist, lyrical talent, for which France, and not only she was bored with a young Gerard, Philip. For millions of viewers and spectators Trintignant merged with her hero, with his charming and slightly shy smile, romantic destiny, secret sadness.
After the huge success of "Men and women" Trentinyanu vying make attractive offers. In 1967, he starred in the film "Heart in my throat," directed by Tinto Brass, then in the western, "Big Silence" (1968) Sergio Korbuchchi.
Trintignant refused roles in films, Coppola, Friedkin and Steven Spielberg′s because he seemed alien to dramatic material. But the pleasure was shot in the author′s elite film director and writer Alain Robbe-Grillet.
Trintignant was withdrawn in the political film "Zeta" (1968), a role which receives a prize at the Cannes Film Festival 1969.
One of the most significant and complex political movies western movies is "The Conformist" (1970) Bertolucci.

Trintignant in those years often filmed in Italy. In Rome he came a long time, with his wife and children. So it was at this time. Jean-Louis began its work, the eldest daughter Marie went into the French school, Nadine took care of eight-Paul. Then suddenly one night, Paul gasped in his crib. Jean-Louis and Nadine were beside themselves with grief ...
"This film - said later Trintignant - cost me dearly. He literally tore me. The protagonist of "The Conformist" - intellectual, Marcello Clerici, after agonizing doubt agrees to serve the regime of Mussolini. His enjoyment of power and simultaneously fear and contempt for himself was a brilliant actor passed - in the plastic, facial expressions, gestures ... Image Clerici was completing an entire gallery of characters created Trentinyanom - people with a forked psyche, wearing the mask and had lost face, people-puppets.
Directed by Eric Rohmer (who shot Trintignant in a very interesting film "My Night at Maud") considered him an actor "in the spirit of Dostoevsky:" It is a struggle between light and darkness ... This is a real Raskolnikov with his inner dichotomy. Surface characters without a hitch - it′s not for him. "
In 1972, screens out a political film directed by Yves Boisset "attempt". Trintignant has played a journalist, a man indecisive, unreliable, internally fractured and slowly slipping toward betrayal.
Jean-Louis admitted: "I was really unpleasant to play this character. Rarely do I have to feel so unpleasant feeling. He inspired me this disgusted.
Trintignant made my old dream of directing: his debut was the thriller "busy day" (1972). Later put the film "Swimming Instructor" (1979). "I failed them, while he could win. Perhaps because of the lack of credibility as a director, "- said after an actor.
A young man (who on closer examination turns out to be not so, and young) in a wrinkled jacket, glasses, with a confused look, - such Trintignant appears in the film "Money Train" (1973, directed by Pierre Granier-Defer). His hero Julien escapes from a German offensive in May 1940. The train he meets a young woman, Anne (Romy Schneider). Anna - a Jew, she disappears from the life of Julien, in order not to expose its dangers.

General technique ensemble playing with Trintignant unusually rich and virtuous. In this regard, it is good not only in lyrical stories, but in a purely male subjects. "I never ask a speculative idea about the character. Do not try to find him a psychological approach. I imagine it to myself through concrete actions, physical details, specific gestures. For example, ask yourself: how it will stay at the table? I think of his walk, the silhouette, breathing ... If you have a correct gait, if you feel like moving your character, so the main thing has been done ... "
Picture director Jacques Dere is called "Police Story" (1975). Trintignant played here are criminals, a professional killer, played a sharp, grotesque.
In 1975, Trintignant grasped yet another blow: he learned that his older brother, Fernand ill with cancer and left him to live no more than six months. Jean-Louis threw everything. He bought him a racing car, and they treated themselves to a "happy holidays". Of course, Fernand knew nothing about his illness. He felt surprisingly good and was happy. Alas, the diagnosis of doctors was accurate, and soon he was gone ...
In 1978, Trintignant starred in one other significant film - "Other People′s Money." His partner was Catherine Deneuve. Conciseness of expression, the stinginess of the actors reach here from Trintignant to asceticism.
For a long time, Jean-Louis dreamed of two things: play a comedy role and withdraw from Francois Truffaut. And both of these desires to fruition at once in a parody comedy Truffaut "Confidentially Yours ( "cheerful Sunday", 1983), where he played an imaginary criminal, forced to hide from the police and also to seek evidence of their innocence. And yet another memorable meeting - with Romy Schneider in the movie "banker" (1980), where the actress played the main heroine, and Jean-Louis - the role of its sworn enemy, evil and cunning financier.

Farewell tour Trintignant was the film "Who loves me - go by train. "Of course, I do not think that the cinema will cease to exist, but it is obvious that it loses its original meaning, - emphasized Trintignant. - The reason is just that thing of the past are the same qualities - simplicity, naivete - that are necessary for the perception of the arts - cinema.
