Félix Maritaud (born 12 December 1992) is a French actor notable for his roles in French queer cinema.
Career
Maritaud began to garner recognition after starring in a string of French independent films, most notably BPM (Beats per Minute). The French LGBT magazine Têtu dubbed him “the new hero of French queer cinema”.[1]
In 2018, Maritaud attracted further attention for his role in the independent film Sauvage, in which he played a homeless sex worker.[2] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote that "Maritaud’s performance has power."[3] Tara Brady of The Irish Times wrote, "Félix Maritaud is a heartbreaking revelation as a sex worker seeking intimacy in France".[4] Dazed called his performance a "raw, delicate depiction".[5] He won the Lumières Award for Most Promising Actor at the 24th Lumières Awards, for his performance in Sauvage.[6]
In 2019, Maritaud was featured in Gaspar Noé's Lux Æterna. It was screened out of competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.[7]
In 2020, Maritaud starred in a French short film titled Dustin, which was an official selection of the 2020 Cannes Film Festival,[8] but was not able to be screened due to the cancellation of the festival in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in France. It was subsequently screened at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival,[9] where it was named the winner of the IMDbPro Short Cuts Award for Best International Short Film.[10]
