Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Patrick Dewaere was France's James Dean—beautiful, volatile, and dead at 35. His 1982 suicide by gunshot ended what critics called 'the most promising career of his generation.'
Lola was born three months after his death. The film's most devastating revelation: she learned his identity from a magazine at age 12, not from her mother.
