There are now two pages for Depardieu: Gérard Depardieu and Gerard Depardieu, both with text. User:Renata
- No problem. The way to deal with this is to turn one into a redirect to the other, and merge the text. -- Tarquin

The link for Les Miserables at the bottom leads to the page on the novel. Shouldn't it link to a separate page on the film?--Jen Moakler 02:14, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Found a link to the (non-existent) article on the film on the novel's page, so I changed the link here to match that --Jen Moakler 06:22, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gerard Depardieu
[edit] Rape accusations
Should we make note of the "Depardieu is a rapist" furor?
A French teacher of mine used this as an example of idiomatic mistranslation: supposedly Depardieu had said j'ai assisté à un viol, meaning he'd witnessed a rape, but the translator assumed he meant he'd participated in a rape.
But I'm not sure if this version of events is totally accurate. Can anyone comment?
- I absolutley remember an article about him in which he stated that he and others participated in a rape of a woman in a Paris subway station. His tone was not one of regret just matter of fact. It was in the early 1990's. I do not remember the article name but I will never forget that.-71.28.243.246 06:06, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Here is a link that isn't broken. The article cites a Times article where Depardieu supposedly admits to rape.
But then on the IMDB bio, it says the Times article made a translation error.
Couldn't find a source that proves the translation was bad, rather than just stating it. It's pretty fantastic that someone would admit to a rape though. 70.66.9.162 17:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
I don't think Depardieu needs a seperate filmography page, surely only his more notable films need be listed, if all have to be listed they can still be accomodated on his main page. --RMHED 22:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Awards
Something must be done with the Awards section. It looks as though someone ran the entire thing through Babelfish translator...which very well may be the case. D. Guinness 02:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
