Synopsis
Après un passage à la Rue Blanche, Yann Collette crée en 1978 avec le metteur en scène Pierre Pradinas le théâtre du Chapeau Rouge en Avignon. Un an plus tard, il fait ses débuts au cinéma dans Le Gagnant.
Son physique décalé, son oeil de verre et crâne chauve servent à merveille l'univers d'Enki Bilal avec lequel il collabore en 1989 avec Bunker Palace Hotel puis en 1996 dans Tykho Moon. Cette "gueule" du cinéma français excelle dans les seconds rôles sombres, de personnages retors et violents (La Maison assassinée et Le Bossu), ou en marge de la société chez Vincent Ravalec (Cantique de la racaille, La Merveilleuse odyssée de l'idiot toboggan). Ce qui ne l'empêche pas de s'adonner volontiers à la comédie, et compose pour Bernie Bonvoisin un savoureux personnage de flic dans Les Demons de Jesus.
En 1995, il tourne dans Marie-Louise ou la permission, une comédie légère avec Kate Beckinsale où il interprète trois rôles (dont celui d'une nonne). Mais celui qui a débuté au théâtre tourne avec des réalisateurs qui le rapprochent de son travail sur les planches : préparation longue, répétitions... C'est le cas avec Philippe Garrel (J'entends plus la guitare) ou encore Jacques Rivette (Jeanne la Pucelle, les prisons).
Acting
Our Heroes Died Tonight
as Tom
France in the early 60s. Simon, a wrestler, wears a white mask. In the ring, he is known as "The Specter". He suggests to his friend Victor who has just returned from combat to be his adversary in the ring and wear a black mask, and be known as "The Slaughterer of Belleville". But for Victor, still shaken from his experience in combat, this is too much; for once in his life he would like to be the good guy, the one people cheer on. Simon then suggests they switch masks. But it proves less easy to fool the rest of the wrestling crowd...

It's a power that will infect the other highly dangerous occupants of Dante 01, gaolors and prisoners alike, unleashing a violent rebellion that turns this terrifying, labyrinthine world upside down.
