Richard Gere
FILMOGRAPHY
(ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
BIO
With his model good
looks and standoffish mystique, Richard Gere broke through in several
high- profile romantic and erotic films by critically acclaimed directors
during the late 1970s and early 1980s, starting with a supporting role
as Diane Keaton's
volatile lover in
Looking for Mr. Goodbar and
continuing with Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven,
Paul Schrader's
American Gigolo
and the box-office hit
An Officer and a Gentleman.
At this point, Gere was seen as one of the biggest new movie stars of
the 1980s, but he struggled to follow up his early promise before making
a triumphant return in a number of romantic lead roles in the 1990s,
starting with
Pretty Woman. Despite often being criticised for a
lack of depth, Gere has an ability to carry films with engaging,
restrained performances. |
