Charismatic and resourceful, seducer and daredevil, Jean-Paul Belmondo has always played his roles as he lived, at a thousand miles an hour. He had only one passion: to entertain the public with his smile, his naturalness, his energy, his stunts. But contrary to appearances, his destiny was full of pitfalls. This film lifts the veil on a founding childhood that allowed him to overcome many obstacles throughout his life thanks to the tutelary figures of his father and mother. Told from the inside with the help of his autobiography, interviews and unpublished archives, this epic story traces the career of this turbulent young actor who launched the New Wave in Breathless before becoming the popular Bebel, an indestructible and provocative vigilante. From film to film, this documentary paints an intimate portrait of a man who built himself up to reach the top: his triumphs but also his trials, his doubts, his secrets, his angers, his clowning, his disappointments or his personal dramas.

Disparu le 6 septembre 2021, Jean-Paul Belmondo a laissé une marque indélébile sur le cinéma français, mais aussi international. À la fois acteur des débuts de la Nouvelle Vague, figure populaire et véritable cascadeur, le documentaire "Belmondo l’incorrigible", en combinant archives et extraits de films, invite à aller au-delà de l’acteur et présente un portrait intime de l’homme qu’il était.

Mislimo da znamo sve o glumcu koji je snimio devedeset filmova. No, Jean-Paul Belmondo ostaje enigma. Zašto je uvijek želio glumiti u svemu, izmjenjujući autorske i komercijalne filmove? Za čim je zapravo trčao? Ovaj dvodijelni dokumentarac prepun arhivskih snimaka omogućuje nam da shvatimo "etiku razonode" koje će se Belmondo držati od djetinjstva do smrti. Ta njegova opsjednutost zabavom ima više smisla nego što se čini. Belmondo je unio svježinu u glumačke kodove kad je ušao u kinematografiju glumeći u filmu "Do posljednjeg daha". Postao je mit, francuski Steve McQueen. Belmondo je kao nitko stvarao poveznice između autorske kinematografije, novog vala čiji su akteri Godard, Chabrol i Truffaut te popularne i komercijalne kinematografije Verneuila, de Broce, Audiarda, Lautnera i drugih. Belmondo se neprestano zabavlja i pritom nas uči pravu životnu lekciju: Iskoristite maksimalno svaki dan i ostanite što je moguće više pozitivni kako biste lakše prebrodili teške trenutke.
