Thomas<\/strong> – Michael Lonsdale, in a couple movies by Francois Truffaut and Marguerite Duras, Resnais’s Stavisky<\/a><\/em>, Bunuel’s Phantom of Liberty<\/em>, Welles’ The Trial<\/em>, and some American thrillers like Ronin<\/em>, Munich<\/em>, and Moonraker<\/em>.
\n\"img\"
\nLeader of the group, friend of Sarah, overall conspirator. Seems in charge for the first half and gets progressively more unhinged towards the end, possibly because of his romantic interest in Lili, Sarah, and\/or Beatrice.
\n–<\/p>\n

Achille<\/strong> – Sylvain Corthay, had small parts in Demy’s Donkey Skin<\/a><\/em> and Rivette’s Joan of Arc<\/a><\/em>. Has a public website and email address.
\n\"img\"
\n–<\/p>\n

Beatrice<\/strong> – Edwine Moatti
\n\"img\"
\nLeaves the group towards the end of the movie.

Bergamotte<\/strong> – Bernadette Onfroy
\n\"img\"
\n–<\/p>\n

Rose<\/strong> – Christiane Corthay
\n\"img\"
\n–<\/p>\n

Faune<\/strong> – Monique Cl\u00e9ment, played Myrtille in Celine & Julie<\/a><\/em> (who was that?)
\n\"img\"
\n–<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Seven Against Thebes Group:<\/h1>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lili<\/strong> – Mich\u00e8le Moretti, from Rivette’s L’Amour fou<\/a><\/em>. Still active in TV and movies, has been in a lot of stuff, incl. an Andr\u00e9 T\u00e9chin\u00e9 film.
\n\"img\"
\nLili leads the Thebes group. She’s one of the 13, and used to be in Thomas’s group before she left and started her own using different techniques.
\n–<\/p>\n

Quentin<\/strong> – Pierre Baillot, started out in William Klein’s famous 60’s movies, later in Rivette’s Joan of Arc<\/em>.
\n\"img\"
\nWins a million francs on a horse race, which is immediately stolen by Renaud. At the end, when things start unravelling, he’s the only member of Lili’s group to join Thomas’s.
\n–<\/p>\n

Marie<\/strong> – Hermine Karagheuz, played a nurse in Secret Defense<\/a><\/em>, also in Merry Go Round<\/em> and Duelle<\/a><\/em>.

\nSent the letters to Colin? So, a friend of Pierre?
\n–<\/p>\n

Nicolas<\/strong> – Marcel Bozonnet, also in Rivette’s Joan of Arc<\/a><\/em> and Up Down Fragile<\/em>.
\n\"img\"
\nAKA Arsenal, Papa, Th\u00e9o, Yogurt and others. I think each character calls him by a different name. A real ladies’ man. These two things may be related.

Elaine<\/strong> – Karen Puig
\n\"img\"
\nThe one who tells Lucie when Lili runs off to Obade
\n–<\/p>\n

Warok<\/strong> – Jean Bouise, in a ton of movies I haven’t heard of, plus The War Is Over<\/a><\/em>, Z<\/em>, and Joseph Losey’s Mr. Klein<\/em>, which had a bunch of interesting actors in it. Died before the release of his final film, La Femme Nikita<\/em>.

\n–<\/p>\n

Max<\/strong>
\nQuentin’s son.

Nicolas’s friend<\/strong>
\nI think her character’s only purpose is for numerology’s sake… she and Max help search for Renaud after the theft, dividing the city into seven sections.

Gian-Reto<\/strong> – Barbet Schroeder, played the guy in the house in Celine & Julie<\/em> and has a part in Don’t Touch The Axe<\/em>. Directed Maitresse<\/em> and some famed documentaries in the 70’s and since the late 80’s he’s been making commercial Hollywood thrillers.
