| biography:
| Film director, born in Paris, France. Educated in Paris, he was a journalist and film critic before turning director. His first major film A bout de souffle (1960, Breathless) established him as one of the leaders of Nouvelle Vague cinema. He wrote his own film scripts on contemporary and controversial themes, his prolific output including Vivre sa vie (1962, trans My Life to Live) and Weekend (1968). He then collaborated with other film-makers in the making of politically radical films, but returned to feature films with Sauve qui peut (1980, trans Slow Motion), Detective (1984), Je vous salue, Marie (1985, Hail, Mary), Nouvelle Vague (1990), and For Ever Mozart (1997). |
