Vincent Lindon
On Feb. 10, 2025, Università IULM awarded the Master's degree ad Honorem in Arts of Storytelling. Literature, Cinema, Television to French actor Vincent Lindon, an iconic actor in European cinema, for his ability to recount with depth and authenticity the contradictions of contemporary society.
The official statement for the award, read by Rector Garavaglia, retraced the key milestones of Lindon’s career, from his debut in the 1980s to his collaboration with director Stéphane Brizé, which led to the creation of films with significant social impact such as The Measure of a Man, At War, and Another World. "His cinema acts as a magnifying glass on the tensions that run through Europe today: social fractures, the ambiguities of power, and the new dynamics of human and professional relationships. Lindon does not simply play a role; he inhabits stories and becomes a vehicle for an in-depth exploration of the human condition," the Rector added.
