Released on November 16, 2022, “More than ever” is one of the last two films starring Gaspard Ulliel before his tragic death in a ski accident.
More than ever is a drama film released on November 16, 2022. Directed by Emily Atef, this drama about a couple whose wife suffers from an illness will remain best known as one of the last roles of Gaspard Ulliel in the cinema (even if it is his penultimate filming, Coma by Bertrand Bonello being the last but released on the same date in France). The French actor died at the age of 37 on January 19, 2022, following a skiing accident that occurred the day before. Victim of head trauma after a collision without a helmet with another skier, he was brain dead before his death.
While rumors of a couple formed between Gaspard Ulliel and Vicky Krieps had swirled since filming, Gaëlle Pietri (Ulliel’s ex-partner and mother of his son) had made it known on Instagram that he was not seeing anyone at the time of his death. However, their relationship was close: “We were like soul mates”, described the actress of More than ever at the microphone of Le Parisien. “He is part of my life every day. He helped me work when he was there. I continue through him.”
