Niels Arestrup

Coming from a modest family of Danish origin, Niels Arestrup grew up in the Parisian suburbs and enrolled after high school during Tania Balachova. He began his career in the theater before appearing for the first time in the cinema in Miss O'Gynie and the flower men by Samy Pavel in 1973, then in Stavisky by Alain Resnais in 1974.


Without ever giving up the theater, he built an atypical career made up of supporting roles of bastards (Les Loups entre lui, 1985; La Rumba, 1986) and ambiguous characters (La Dérobade or La Femme flic alongside Miou-Miou). From the middle of the Eighties, one sees him impose himself at the head of poster of some feature films like The Future is woman (1984) of Marco Ferreri, where he becomes the lover of a couple to three; La Tentation de Venus (1991), where he plays a Hungarian conductor struggling with the Paris Opera; Lulu Kreutz's Picnic (1999), where he plays a famous and unhappy cellist; or even Parlez-moi d'amour (2002), the first production by Sophie Marceau, in which he plays an aging husband who separates from his wife.


In 2005 and 2009, Niels Arestrup found two of his strongest roles by filming for Jacques Audiard, two performances for which he received the César for Best Actor (in a supporting role) in 2006 and 2010: we see him playing the father , unscrupulous real estate agent, by Romain Duris in De beating, mon coeur est Arrest, and a terrifying godfather of the Corsican underworld in Un prophète, Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival 2009 and also awarded 9 César in 2010. Entre- time, he tried his hand at directing for the first time by directing Yvan Attal in the political drama Le Candidat (2006) and joined the rich cast of Julian Schnabel's film Le Scaphandre et le papillon where he rubbed shoulders with Mathieu among others. Amalric, Emmanuelle Seigner, Patrick Chesnais, Marina Hands and even Max von Sydow.


He then appeared in The Farewell Affair (2009), a spy thriller starring Guillaume Canet and Emir Kusturica, then in The Man Who Wanted to Live His Life (2010), an existential drama in which he gives the answer to Romain Duris. His performance has earned him another nomination for the César for Best Supporting Actor. In 2011, we find him at the head of the bill in I haven't forgotten anything alongside Gérard Depardieu and then in You will be my son where he plays a charismatic winegrower. He also joined the cast of War Horse, back to the direction of Steven Spielberg.


In 2012, three years after A Prophet, Niels Arestrup reunited with Tahar Rahim in À perd la raison, a free adaptation of the Geneviève Lhermitte affair, named after this mother who murdered her five children in 2007. Presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012 in the "Un Certain Regard" category, the film won the Best Actress Award thanks to the striking performance of Emilie Dequenne. Once again in the skin of a filthy and manipulative being, the actor delivers an intense performance of which only he has the secret. 


The year 2014 was particularly busy for Niels Arestrup: he first won the César for best actor in a supporting role for Quai d'Orsay by Bertrand Tavernier, where he played Claude Maupas, a ministerial chief of staff. The actor then remains in the political field with Diplomatie where he engages in a tense face-to-face with André Dussollier. The interpretation of the two men in this historic duel is unanimously welcomed. Finally, after playing a formidable criminal who escapes from prison and sequesters Gérard Lanvin in 96 hours, he camps, in La Dune, an inspector specializing in disappearances trying to define the identity of an undocumented person who remains mysteriously mute.


In 2015, in Papa Lumière, Niels Arestrup slipped into the shoes of a gruff and distant father trying to get to know his daughter, when the two were urgently repatriated from Abidjan to a reception center in Nice.
