Gerard Depardieu, is one of the most charismatic film stars in the world. After his triumph in the acclaimed "Cyrano de Bergerac", his move to Hollywood, a source of anguish to a man professedly more interested in creating great wine in his home vineyard, resulted in "Green Card" and Ridley Scott's "Christopher Columbus". This biography is an in-depth, very personal study of genius at work. Insightful, colourful and immediate, this is a study of creativity as well as a biography of the hottest talent to emerge in films in recent years. With Depardieu's enthusiastic involvement, this will be a gripping account of a controversial life.
