Biography

Right from his debut in the sixties, Claude Lelouch has sailed through times and trends, navigating between big productions and more intimate films. He's both popular and an Auteur, and his features have always left their mark. He's one of a very small circle of French directors whose films have repeatedly exceeded a million ticket sales. His interest in cinema was triggered when he was in Moscow in 1957, secretly shooting a film about everyday Russian life. After carrying out his military service in 1960 at the Army Film Service, he decided to set out on his own by establishing his own production company, Les Films 13. He shoots his first feature Le Propre de l'homme. He finances his second film, L'amour avec des si (1952), with the earnings gleaned from directing hundreds of scopitones and advertisements. The film is well received by the critics. In 1964, accompanied by a few friends (Pierre Barouh, Amidou, Jean-Pierre Kalfon), he shoots To Be a Crook, which wins several festival prizes. The turning point in his career occurs in 1966 when his film A Man and a Woman, a flamboyant melodrama starring the henceforth mythic couple Anouk Aimée - Jean-Louis Trintignant, carried off the Palme d'Or. It also wins two Oscars, and goes on to win no less than forty-two international awards. From that moment on there is no stopping him: Live for Life, Love is a Funny Thing, The Crook, Money Money Money, Cat and Mouse, An Adventure for Two, Within Memory, Edith and Marcel, Itinéraire d’un enfant gaté, The Beautiful Story, All That… for This!, Les Misérables, Men, Women: A User's Manual, Chances and Coincidences. One 4 All, his latest comedy, is released in 2000. In 2004, Claude Lelouch direct Le Genre humain : Les Parisiens, followed in 2005 by The Courage to Love.
