| biography:
| Film-maker and critic, born in Rouen, NW France. Critic for Cahiers du cinéma from 1953, and its editor (1963–5), his first feature film Paris nous appartient (1961) was a personal homage to the capital city. One of the nouvelle vague directors, he came to prominence with his film La Religieuse (1966), which was attacked by some in the Catholic Church. Among later films are La Belle Noiseuse (1991) and Jeanne la Pucelle (1994) with Sandrine Bonnaire. |
