The world’s coolest killer will hit Beijing!

　　Jean Reno, the well-known French movie director and actor, will appear in the capital for the first time on February 10th to meet Chinese fans.

　　Reno has also chosen seven of his favourite films to be screened from February 10 to 12 in the art cinema of China Film Archive Museum.

　　Born into a French family in Spain, Reno’s parents moved to Casablanca to escape the fascism (法西斯主义) of General Franco. The family returned to France when Reno was 12 and it was here during his teens that his mother died. Reno pursued (追求) his dream of acting in France after his national service(兵役). After settling in Paris, Reno joined a travelling theatre company with stage director Didier Flamand who took him around the country. He began his film career in Clair de Femme, a French film directed by Costa Gavras, which proved to be an immediate hit.

　　One of France’s leading actors, Reno has enjoyed an extremely successful cooperation with French director Luc Besson. He has starred in many of Besson’s films, such as Subway, Le Dernier Combat, The Big Blue, and La Femme Nikita.

　　In 1994, Reno finally achieved a worldwide recognition with his role, a professional killer, in Besson’s Léon after which he played roles in major Hollywood productions Mission impossible, Godzilla and Rollerball.
