| biography:
| Film critic and director, born in Paris, France. He financed his own first production Le Beau Serge (1958, Handsome Serge), and with Les Cousins (1959) became identified with the French Nouvelle Vague, a style which had become more publicly acceptable when he produced Les Biches (1968, The Does). His most widely-known films are dramas of abnormality in the provincial bourgeoisie, notably Le Boucher (1970, The Butcher), Les Noces rouges (1973, Red Wedding), and Inspector Lavardin (1986). Later films include L'Enfer (1993, Torment), Rien ne va plus (1997), and Au Coeur du mensonge (1999). |
