	Jean Rochefort Biography :: Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Rochefort has been a staple of the mainstream French cinema for over three decades, first as a character player and second lead in the late 1950s and 60s, a leading man since the 70s and an international star since the 80s.
		Rochefort shone as the second lead in Bertrand Tavernier's feature directorial debut, "L'Horloger de St. Paul/The Watchmaker of St Paul" (1973), as the seemingly sympathetic police inspector who befriends the shaken father (Philippe Noiret) of an accused murderer.
		Rochefort made his US film debut in "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?" (1978), but most of his French and European projects never made it to the US.

		Jean Rochefort is a veteran of French cinema, and his performance is, as always, superb.
		Rochefort is a loquacious, bored, congenial poetry teacher in semi-retirement, a man who not only loves to talk about Schumann but plays Schumann on his piano in his very old and boring house - and reads and readies himself for a weekend surgery.
		Manesquier (jean rochefort) is a nerd, but in one scene which he stands up to some bullies in a bar, proving he has a spine.

	The Man on the Train review
		Rochefort plays Manesquier, a retired teacher who has never the house where he was born and dreams of adventure.
		While Rochefort is sparkling, just as often the real revelation is Halliday who perfectly underplays his role with sensibility and humor.
		Rochefort & Halliday certainly deserved better than this film in which imagery, in the end, is sharper than expected: Leconte's direction has indeed become pantouflarde.

	Man on the Train (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Rochefort and Hallyday not only explore the thirst of their characters for a completely different fate, but also provide an affecting portrait of the mysterious nature of friendship, which so often unfolds in the face of envy and regret yet brings even the most disparate hearts and minds together in surprising ways.
		Rochefort was immediately drawn to the film’s themes of reflecting back on life and facing one’s regrets and lost dreams, which at the age of 72 held tremendous appeal for him.
		Although Hallyday and Rochefort are the center of attention in Man on the Train, one other character plays a pivotal role in their unfolding friendship: Manesquier’s mistress, Viviane, who is played by Isabelle Petit-Jacques, previously seen in Leconte’s Girl on the Bridge and Ridicule.

		It was Rochefort who gave the young Leconte his break when he read the script for his first feature, The Toilets Were Locked on the Inside, and agreed to act in it.
		As a result, Leconte says Hallyday and Rochefort became closer as their characters did, and he was able to witness an encounter between two French cultural heroes from different galaxies.
		As for Rochefort, he was among the throng of 60,000 at his new friend's 60th birthday gig.

		He works well along side the film’s lead actor, Jean Rochefort, despite the vast difference in age and experience between the two actors.
		In the role of Monsieur Clément, Jean Rochefort gives what must surely rate has his most disturbing and enigmatic screen performance to date.
		What Rochefort does well, and this film is an excellent example of this, is to bring depth and humanity to his characterisation.

		Rochefort, who won the audience award at the 2002 Venice Film Festival (as did the film), makes Manesquier a country gentleman caught within the sleepy spell of his environs, his adventurous side coming out in his incessant conversational queries.
		Rochefort is always a pleasure to watch and, as Manesquier, he creates a convincing character as the aging academic.

		From pre-production to the birth pains of filming, Lost in La Mancha follows Gilliam, his crew, and his cast in a tragedy of bad luck and poor planning that utterly dooms what could have been a truly magnificent film.
		The eventual killer is the illness of Jean Rochefort, cast to play Don Quixote and cutting a startlingly accurate figure atop his tired old nag of a mount Rosamonte.
		Rochefort, a true professional struggles to stay on his horse even through great pain.

		He has the perfect lead in Jean Rochefort, who has spent months learning English for the part, Johnny Depp is along to give star cred, he has had props and costumes lovingly crafted and the locations are perfect.
		Initial forecasts are extremely promising, with the perfect casting of veteran French actor Jean Rochefort as Don Quixote - a sad, melancholic man. Johnny Depp agrees to play his sidekick Sancho Panza, although in Gilliam's wild interpretation Panza will in fact be an advertising executive from the future, deposited in 17th Century Spain.
		Jean Rochefort's health is beyond questionable, and he is flown back to Paris with an excruciating prostate infection.

	L'Homme Du Train film review
		Hallyday is a reluctant bankrobber, and yearns for life akin to Rochefort's: one of pipe-smoking, slippers and reading classical poetry.
		Rochefort, on the other hand, desires what he sees as Hallyday's Wild West lifestyle.
		While at times all of this feel a little like a stage play filmed for the cinema, it's clear the chemistry between Rochefort and Hallyday is the driving force through the film.

		Milan encounters a self-amused old man named Manesquier (Jean Rochefort), who invites him back to his home for a glass of water, the hotel being closed ("Tourists are scarce in November, just as they are in July").
		On his shelves sit leather-bound books, destined to be unread, the residue of a career teaching French poetry: "Thirty years of teaching, and not one student molested," he says proudly.
		Rochefort, with the beaky nose, dapper mustache and august smile of a chef in an advertisement, perfectly embodies French culture on the skids.

		It succeeds due to beautifully tempered performances from an odd couple — venerable character actor Jean Rochefort and rugged rock singer Johnny Hallyday (known since his '60s heyday as the Elvis Presley of France).
		Rochefort's Manesquier is a sedentary sort with a dry sense of humor — a reserved, retired poetry teacher living alone in his family's chateau since the death of his mother.

		A teacher (Jean Rochefort) and a gangster (Johnny Hallyday) find they have much more in common than outward appearances would suggest, during the course of Patrice Leconte's Man on the Train, playing next at the Pageant.
		The robbery is planned for the same Saturday morning on which the retiree will undergo a triple bypass, but the heist story and, briefly, the medical melodrama are dramatic sidebars in an intriguingly complex tale of alter egos and kindred spirits bonding in unlikely circumstances.
		The fleeting friendship of the criminal and the professor becomes a study in the near-mystical synergy of seemingly opposed identities.

	Eugene Weekly : Movies : 06.12.03
		Rochefort, who has made 80-100 films, has been regarded as an actor of note throughout a career that began in the 1950s.
		Rochefort plays Manesquier, a retired poetry teacher who lives alone in this sleepy French town, surrounded by books, music and family history.
		A grace note to Rochefort and Hallyday's respective careers, Man on the Train calls upon not only their professional talents but also their willingness to open themselves emotionally to the experiences of the other.

		One of his early acclaimed film was Tandem, his first exploration of male friendship starring Jean Rochefort and Gerard Jugnot as two quarreling game-show hosts on a road trip.

	Film Ireland - Passionate
		In fact it is unparalleled for a French film maker: the dream-like Le Mari de la coiffeuse (The Hairdresser's Husband) (1990), the madcap Tango (1993), the subversive period drama Ridicule (1996), the emotionally powerful La Veuve de Saint-Pierre (The Widow of Saint-Pierre) (2000).
		For me, putting two actors like Jean Rochefort and Johnny Hallyday together is dramatic in itself, because we are forcing together two types of person who should never meet - luckily, you can do this in a film.
		PK What I feel works so well is that Rochefort and Hallyday don't fall into stereotypical versions of their public personas.
