De sa présence magnétique dans Plein soleil, qui l’a révélé au grand public, à ses rôles habités chez Visconti, puis Melville et Deray, retour sur dix rôles emblématiques de l’acteur français Alain Delon, décédé dimanche à l’âge de 88 ans.
Plein soleil (1960)
Plein soleil, movie noir de René Clément, a été adapté du roman de l’Américaine Patricia Highsmith MonsieurRipley. Alain Delon, qui n’est pas encore une vedette, campe Tom Ripley, personnage machiavélique qui tue un riche fêtard (Maurice Ronet) et lui vole son identité, sur fond d’intense lumière méditerranéenne. Une nouvelle model hollywoodienne avec Matt Damon et Jude Regulation sera tournée en 1999 (Le talentueux M.Ripley).

Rocco et ses frères (1960)
Classique du néoréalisme italien, Rocco et ses frères est un chic mélodrame. Grâce à Luchino Visconti, fasciné par lui, Delon va conquérir ses galons de vedette. Déjà célèbre en France, le comédien se fait alors remarquer en Italie.
Le movie raconte les déboires de Rosaria et de ses quatre fils qui fuient la misère, et l’Italie du Sud, pour Milan. Rocco (Delon) et Simone (Renato Salvatori) sont amoureux d’une jeune prostituée (Annie Girardot). Inspiré de Dostoïevski, le movie obtint le Lion d’argent à la Mostra de Venise 1960.
Le guépard (1963)
Adaptée du roman de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, cette fresque obtient la Palme d’or en 1963 et devient un succès industrial et critique dès sa sortie.
Ce movie d’époque de Luchino Visconti se situe en 1860, à l’époque de Garibaldi. Il s’agit d’un movie sur le déclin d’une aristocratie qui peine à s’adapter aux temps nouveaux. Le movie contient une longue scène de bal, entrée dans la légende.

Alain Delon, au sommet de son élégance (moustache high quality et raie sur le côté) y est l’incarnation de la noblesse. Le couple qu’il forme avec Claudia Cardinale entre dans l’histoire du cinéma.
Le samouraï (1967)
Cette première collaboration avec Jean-Pierre Melville donne l’un des chefs-d’œuvre de la filmographie de Delon, qui incarne le tueur solitaire Jef Costello.
Fantomatique, inexpressif, obsédé par la maîtrise, avec son regard bleu froid, son imper et son chapeau : ce personnage est à la base du mythe Delon.
L’esthétique de ce polar glacial influencera nombre d’autres cinéastes, dont John Woo et Quentin Tarantino. La collaboration Delon-Melville accouchera d’un autre chef-d’œuvre, Le cercle rouge (1970, avec Bourvil), avant Un flic (1972).
La piscine (1969)
Mi-drame, mi-polar, ce movie de Jacques Deray, à l’érotisme brûlant, marque les retrouvailles entre Alain Delon et Romy Schneider, avec qui il a formé un couple mythique du cinéma français. Il n’y aura pas de retour de flamme entre eux, mais la carrière de Romy Schneider, qui bat un peu de l’aile à ce second, redécolle.

Plus de 3 thousands and thousands de spectateurs plongent dans la piscine au-dessus de Saint-Tropez, fréquentée par le couple, mais aussi par Maurice Ronet et Jane Birkin. Delon dira plus tard : Ce movie, je ne peux plus le regarder. Trop douloureux de revoir Romy et Maurice (morts respectivement en 1982 et 1983) rire aux éclats.
Le clan des Siciliens (1969)
La rencontre au sommet de trois vedettes du cinéma populaire français, Delon, Jean Gabin et Lino Ventura, dans un polar réalisé par Henri Verneuil. Une scène pleine de sous-entendus érotiques marque les mémoires : celle où Delon tue une anguille tout juste pêchée en la fracassant sur les rochers, sous le regard de l’actrice Irina Demick, qui se fait bronzer nue.
Delon avait déjà tourné avec Gabin, pour qui il avait une admiration sans bornes, dans Mélodie en sous-sol (1963, déjà réalisé par Verneuil). Il le retrouvera dans Deux hommes dans la ville (1973), de José Giovanni.

Monsieur Klein (1976)
Il y a tellement de choses de moi dans ce movie. Mon amour des tableaux, ce rapport ambigu avec les gens, cette espèce de jeu où je suis monsieur Klein sans savoir pourquoi, affirme l’acteur à propos du rôle initialement destiné à Jean-Paul Belmondo.
Dans le movie de Joseph Losey qu’il a produit, Delon est Robert Klein, riche marchand d’artwork qui, en 1942, rachète des œuvres détenues par des Juifs. Jusqu’à ce que la découverte d’un homonyme (juif) le précipite dans une descente aux enfers.
L’affiche avec le visage de Delon dans une étoile jaune choqua le public de l’époque. À Cannes, le movie repartit bredouille avant d’être présenté en copie restaurée en 2019, lors de la remise d’une Palme d’or d’honneur au vieux lion du cinéma.
Trois hommes à abattre (1980)
Trois hommes à abattre, réalisé par Jacques Deray et adapté du roman Le petit bleu de la côte ouest de Jean-Patrick Manchette, inaugure la série de polars musclés et populaires qu’enchaînera Delon dans les années 1980, avec plus ou moins de bonheur. Parmi eux, Pour la peau d’un flic (1981), Parole de flic (1985) ou Ne réveillez pas un flic qui dort (1988). De qualité inégale, ces movies ont toutefois permis à toute une génération de découvrir Delon, grâce à leurs multiples (re)diffusions à la télé.

Notre histoire (1984)
Delon a connu le succès dans Borsalino, Parole de flic et bien d’autres, mais le seul César du meilleur acteur qu’il a obtenu a été pour son rôle dans Notre histoire, de Bertrand Blier. Cette comédie dramatique, parfois absurde, parle de solitude et d’amour, autour de la rencontre dans un prepare, entre Robert, la quarantaine fatiguée, et une jeune femme désabusée (Nathalie Baye).
Le public n’a pas suivi, mais la critique a majoritairement aimé ce movie dans lequel Delon a pris des risques pour camper un personnage fragile, un ivrogne, bien loin du Samouraï.
Astérix aux Jeux olympiques (2008)
Mineur dans la filmographie de Delon, qui n’y tient qu’un rôle secondaire, ce long-métrage de Frédéric Forestier et Thomas Langmann vaut surtout pour le symbole. Souvent moqué pour son ego et son habitude de parler de lui à la troisième personne, l’acteur y fait preuve d’une uncommon autodérision dans le rôle de Jules César.

César a tout réussi, tout conquis, c’est un guépard, un samouraï, il ne doit rien à personne, ni à Rocco, ni à ses frères, ni au clan des Siciliens. César est de la race des seigneurs, d’ailleurs le César du meilleur empereur a été décerné à César. Ave moi!, déclame Delon, dans un clin d’œil à ses propres movies.
Actual Madrid acquired their LaLiga title defence off to a limp begin as they have been held to a 1-1 draw at Mallorca, with Vedat Muriqi’s second-half header cancelling out Rodrygo’s early strike and spoiling Kylian Mbappé’s eagerly awaited debut on Sunday.

Actual ended the match with 10-men after defender Ferland Mendy was proven a straight crimson for a sliding deal with deep into added time.
Sooner or later after a depleted Barca fought again to win 2-1 at Valencia regardless of lacking a number of key starters, a star-studded Actual Madrid laboured away to little avail, suggesting they could must work more durable than they thought to suit Mbappe into their squad.

Seven & i Holdings, une société établie au Japon, a indiqué « avoir reçu une proposition confidentielle, non contraignante et préliminaire » de la half de Couche-Tard. Cette proposition de rachat vise « à acquérir toutes les actions en circulation de la société », peut-on lire dans le communiqué.
L’entreprise a mis sur pied un comité spécial pour évaluer l’offre, dont le montant n’a pas été rendu public. « Il y a tout lieu de penser que cette offre-là est prise au sérieux », estime le professeur titulaire de stratégie à la Faculté des sciences de l’administration de l’Université Laval Yan Cimon, en entrevue au Devoir.
« Ni le conseil d’administration ni le comité spécial n’ont décidé à ce stade d’accepter ou de rejeter la proposition d’Alimentation Couche-Tard, d’entamer des discussions avec Alimentation Couche-Tard ou de poursuivre une autre transaction », est-il précisé dans le communiqué de la société japonaise.
Mais « le fait qu’il n’y ait pas eu de fin de non-recevoir d’entrée de jeu, ça montre qu’il y a au moins déjà un dialogue qui peut commencer », pense M. Cimon. Cela atteste aussi que Seven & i Holdings « prend au sérieux la démarche de Couche-Tard », poursuit le professeur.
D’après lui, l’entreprise lavalloise est sans doute, à l’échelle mondiale, l’opérateur du secteur ayant à la fois le plus « de crédibilité et d’experience pour mener à bien un rapprochement avec une entreprise de l’envergure de Seven & i Holdings ».
« Ce sont d’excellents opérateurs » qui « maîtrisent très très bien leur modèle d’affaires », mentionne Yan Cimon.
Alimentation Couche-Tard a confirmé à son tour lundi avoir « récemment soumis une proposition amicale et non contraignante » à la société japonaise. L’entreprise dit s’efforcer « de parvenir à une transaction mutuellement acceptable qui profite aux purchasers, aux employés, aux franchisés et aux actionnaires des deux sociétés », mais que « rien ne garantit à ce stade qu’une entente ou une transaction sera conclue ».
Seconde tentative
Selon le quotidien japonais Nikkei, qui a d’abord rapporté la nouvelle, Couche-Tard a déjà approché Seven & i Holdings en 2020, sans succès.
En 2021, la tentative d’acquisition du géant de la distribution alimentaire Carrefour avait elle aussi échoué, après une intervention du gouvernement français.
Si l’offre venait cette fois-ci à être acceptée, il s’agirait de la plus importante acquisition d’une entreprise japonaise par une entreprise étrangère.
Yan Cimon voit dans cette volonté d’achat « un sign stratégique vital pour montrer que Couche-Tard veut être parmi les joueurs qui comptent dans son secteur ».
En outre, l’motion de Seven & i Holdings a bondi de 22,71 % à la Bourse de Tokyo peu de temps après l’annonce.
« C’est dire à quel level il y a une opinion constructive de ce geste-là de la half de Couche-Tard », estime Yan Cimon. Cela reflète « que le marché croit probablement que Couche-Tard est succesful de créer plus de valeur avec Seven & i Holdings que Seven & i Holdings est succesful d’en créer elle-même », interprète l’knowledgeable.
L’entreprise nippone exploite près de 86 000 établissements, dont environ le quart est au Japon. Le réseau de Couche-Tard comprend quant à lui près de 17 000 magasins dans 31 pays, incluant la marque Circle Okay.
« En achetant Seven & i, [Couche-Tard] achète[rait] quand même des actifs dans une industrie qu’[elle] connaît bien, dans laquelle [elle] est déjà un chief, donc les probabilities de réussites sont plutôt bonnes », juge Yan Cimon.
À ses yeux, Couche-Tard possède une envergure d’entreprise telle « qu’elle ne peut plus simplement se contenter d’opérer sur quelques petits marchés nationaux ».
Acquisition aux États-Unis
Alimentation Couche-Tard a par ailleurs annoncé lundi avoir conclu une transaction avec la chaîne de supermarchés Big Eagle, sans en révéler le coût.
Environ 270 « commerces d’lodging et de vente de carburant » GetGo Cafe + Market s’ajouteront au réseau de l’entreprise de Laval.
GetGo compte 3500 employés et exploite ses magasins dans les États de la Pennsylvanie, de l’Ohio, de la Virginie-Occidentale, du Maryland et de l’Indiana.

Alimentation Couche-Tard aimerait acheter l’exploitant des dépanneurs 7-Eleven, une opération hautement complexe laissant des observateurs sceptiques devant ce qui serait la plus grosse transaction encore jamais réalisée par l’entreprise de Laval.
Seven & i Holdings, une société établie au Japon, a indiqué lundi avoir reçu une offre d’achat de la half de Couche-Tard et avoir formé un comité spécial pour évaluer la proposition.
« Ni le conseil d’administration ni le comité spécial n’ont décidé à ce stade d’accepter ou de rejeter la proposition, d’entamer des discussions ou de poursuivre une autre transaction », est-il mentionné par communiqué.
Couche-Tard confirme de son côté avoir « récemment soumis une proposition amicale et non contraignante » à Seven & i Holdings. Il est ajouté que rien ne garantit à ce stade-ci qu’une entente ou une transaction sera conclue.
Seven & i Holdings exploite cinq fois plus de magasins que Couche-Tard, avec près de 86 000 établissements dans le monde. Le chiffre d’affaires annuel provenant du réseau de 17 000 magasins de Couche-Tard s’élève à environ 95 milliards de {dollars} canadiens, ce qui est similaire à celui de Seven & i Holdings. À 80 milliards de {dollars} canadiens, les investisseurs accordent une plus grande valeur boursière à Couche-Tard.
Bien que la valeur de la transaction proposée par Couche-Tard ne soit pas révélée, l’motion de Seven & i Holdings a néanmoins bondi de 23 % lundi à la Bourse de Tokyo, donnant une valeur supérieure à 52 milliards CAN à l’entreprise asiatique.
« Cette approche est imprégnée de l’ADN de Couche-Tard : elle est audacieuse, mesurée et, en cas de succès (avec un grand « si »), elle constituerait l’aboutissement d’un parcours visant à faire de l’entreprise le plus grand exploitant de dépanneurs au monde », commente l’analyste Irene Nattel, de RBC.
« Il s’agirait d’une transaction transformatrice qui doublerait la taille de Couche-Tard », ajoute son collègue Michael Van Aelst, de la TD.
Cet knowledgeable se demande toutefois remark une opération de cette taille serait financée, si elle obtenait l’approbation nécessaire des autorités, et si Seven & i Holdings a d’autres options pour maximiser sa valeur.
D’un level de vue stratégique, Michael Van Aelst considère l’opération optimistic pour Couche-Tard en raison du potentiel de synergie substantiel en Amérique du Nord. Ilt évalue les components de marché de Couche-Tard aux États-Unis à 4 ou 5 % et celles de 7-Eleven à environ 8 %. La half combinée serait donc de 12 à 13 %.
« Ça permettrait de créer le numéro 1 de l’industrie sur le marché américain par une marge considérable. Casey’s Basic Shops serait le numéro 2 avec seulement 1,7 % de half de marché », calcule l’analyste Anthony Bonadio, chez Wells Fargo.
Le chevauchement géographique nécessiterait des cessions d’environ 10 % en Amérique du Nord, selon Michael Van Aelst.
Pour qu’un accord financier n’impliquant pas un échange d’actions soit conclu, Michael Van Aelst s’attend à d’importants placements privés auprès d’investisseurs institutionnels comme des caisses de retraite, par exemple, en plus d’une émission publique d’actions.
Anthony Bonadio ne cache pas son incrédulité. Il souligne que Seven & i Holdings détient un ensemble d’actifs non liés à l’lodging, notamment des épiceries et des grands magasins, ainsi que des activités de providers financiers.
« La taille et la complexité de cette opération rappellent certainement la tentative de Couche-Tard d’acheter Carrefour en 2021, qui avait été accueillie négativement par les investisseurs et rapidement stoppée par le gouvernement français », dit Anthony Bonadio.
« Je ne suis pas convaincu que le gouvernement [japonais] laisserait aller un champion nationwide de l’alimentation. La France ne l’a pas fait », soulève-t-il dans une notice envoyée à ses purchasers.
L’opération envisagée constituerait la plus grande acquisition d’une entreprise japonaise par une entreprise étrangère de l’histoire, selon les analystes.
Une self-discipline historique
La course de Couche-Tard – avec son fondateur et président exécutif du conseil Alain Bouchard – entretient une réputation d’acquéreur discipliné.
Couche-Tard n’a pas hésité dans le passé à laisser tomber un projet d’acquisition si, par exemple, le prix à payer ne convenait pas. Il suffit de penser à l’australienne Caltex, en 2020, et à l’américaine Casey’s Basic Shops il y a une quinzaine d’années.
Même si les patrons de Couche-Tard participeront dans deux semaines à une conférence téléphonique pour commenter les plus récents résultats trimestriels de l’entreprise, la course dit ne pas prévoir offrir d’autres commentaires concernant ses discussions avec Seven & i Holdings à moins qu’une entente soit conclue.
L’initiative de Couche-Tard pourrait provoquer une surenchère et attirer des propositions venant d’autres acquéreurs potentiels, notamment des firmes d’investissement privées.
Le dépôt d’une proposition par Couche-Tard à Seven & i Holdings serait l’aboutissement d’échanges entre les deux entreprises remontant à plusieurs années. Un quotidien asiatique rapporte que Couche-Tard a même essuyé une fin de non-recevoir en 2020.
Si bien que Seven & i Holdings travaille depuis plusieurs mois avec des conseillers bancaires, dont Morgan Stanley, pour se prémunir contre ce qu’elle considère comme la menace croissante d’une acquisition par une société étrangère, selon le Monetary Occasions.
Acquisition aux États-Unis
Couche-Tard a par ailleurs annoncé lundi l’acquisition de 270 commerces d’lodging et de vente de carburant GetGo Café+Markets auprès de la chaîne de supermarchés Big Eagle.
GetGo compte environ 3500 employés et exploite ses magasins en Pennsylvanie, en Ohio, en Virginie-Occidentale, au Maryland ainsi qu’en Indiana. La valeur de cette transaction n’a pas été précisée.
Cinq phases de l’enlargement internationale de Couche-Tard
