One year after his last public appearance in a long interview with Cyril Viguier for TV5 Monde, Alain Delon returns to the cameras to affirm his support for the Ukrainian people against Russia.
In a sequence broadcast this Monday by the French-speaking international channel, the actor denounces the atrocities of the conflict: “What we are doing to Ukraine has saddened and moved me deeply, that’s why I fight for them.”
And to add: “Long live Ukraine!”
Alain Delon, 86, recorded on this occasion a special program on the Ukrainian poet Taras Chevtchenko -which has just been reissued by Seguier- and from which he read some lines of a poem:
“When I am dead, put me / In the land that serves as my grave / In the middle of the immense plain / In my beloved Ukraine / So that I can see the endless fields / The Dnieper and its steep banks / And hear it roar / When the Dnieper will carry / Towards the blue sea, far from the Ukraine / The blood of the enemy”.
This documentary will also see him reciting lines from a French poet, Tom Benoît: “And by the power of a word / I begin my life anew / I was born to know you / to name you / Freedom.”
In 2021, Alain Delon said that he wanted to shoot a “last film”: “I want to make a film and especially to make my last film. The one that will remain forever. And after I can leave, I will have nothing left.” more to do.”
