BIOGRAPHY:
Claude Lelouch was born on October 30, 1937 in Paris. After
a failure with the baccalaureat, his/her father, to give him
one second chance a little further from the benches of schools,
offers a camera and a small amount of money to him to traverse
the world. He leaves to carry out reports in many countries,
going until filming illegally in the USSR (When the Curtain
Rises, in 1957).
During its military service that Claude Lelouch is integrated
in the Cinematographic Service of the Armies, for which it turns
seven short films. After its year of service, it melts its house
of production "Films 13" and carries out its first
full-length film: "the Characteristic of the Man".
It is a true failure, but Claude is obstinated and in 1964 the
critic and the public notice finally her talent with "a
Girl and Rifles". Glory arrives two years later with "a
Man and a Woman" who obtains the Gold Palm of the Festival
of Cannes.
This
dedication makes it possible Claude to connect films by cumulating
the functions of realizer, scenario writer, director of the
photography, assembler and actor. Faithful to some topics (loves,
meetings, etc.) it privileges the human reports/ratios and delivers
to us, in about thirty films, a pallet of characters overflowing
of vitality, heat, grace and of a humour that only can cause
the large directors of actors, Claude Lelouch is these.
