Alain Resnais Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Alain Resnais (French: [alɛ̃ ʁɛnɛ]; 3 June 1922 – 1 March 2014) was a French film director whose career extended over more than six decades. After training as a film editor in the mid-1940s, he went on to direct a number of short films which included Night and Fog (1955), an influential documentary about the Nazi concentration camps.Resnais began making feature films in the late 1950s and consolidated his early reputation with Hiroshima mon amour (1959), Last Year at Marienbad (1961), and Muriel (1963), all of which adopted unconventional narrative techniques to deal with themes of troubled memory and the imagined past. These films were contemporary with, and associated with, the French New Wave (la nouvelle vague), though Resnais did not regard himself as being fully part of that movement. He had closer links to the "Left Bank" group of authors and filmmakers who shared a commitment to modernism and an interest in left-wing politics. He also established a regular practice of working on his films in collaboration with writers usually unconnected with the cinema, such as Jean Cayrol, Marguerite Duras, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Jorge Semprún and Jacques Sternberg.In later films, Resnais moved away from the overtly political topics of some previous works and developed his interests in an interaction between cinema and other cultural forms, including theatre, music, and comic books. This led to imaginative adaptations of plays by Alan Ayckbourn, Henri Bernstein and Jean Anouilh, as well as films featuring various kinds of popular song.His films frequently explore the relationship between consciousness, memory, and the imagination, and he was noted for devising innovative formal structures for his narratives. Throughout his career, he won many awards from international film festivals and academies. Full Name | Alain Pierre Marie Jean Georges Resnais |

# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | I make difficult films. But not on purpose. |
2 | The present and the past coexist, but the past shouldn't be in flashback. |
3 | I never had any special appetite for filmmaking, but you have to make a living and it is miraculous to earn a living working in film. |
4 | I am never driven. Every film I have made has been an assignment. |
5 | [on film-watching] I turn the lights low and take no calls. I like Bob Hope; I find him mysterious. |
6 | My dream would be to make a movie with Stephen Sondheim. I'm proud that I got him to do the music for 'Stavisky'. |
# | Fact |
---|---|
1 | Initially trained as an editor at L'IDHEC, but left after one year. Worked as a professional editor until the late 1950's, when he made his first 35mm film which launched him as a noted director of documentary shorts. |
2 | For his 12th birthday, he was given an 8mm camera and began to make home movies, with his friends in starring roles. He thought that his interest in flashbacks, and what he would dub "flashforwards", may have been inspired by his childhood love of Milton Caniff's long-running action cartoon "Terry and the Pirates.". |
3 | At 17, he moved to Paris and studied acting, before entering the French military during WWII. |
4 | Started in his youth making amateur films on 8mm and 16mm. |
5 | Recurring motifs in his films are memory and unconventional concepts of time. |
6 | He's responsible for launching the film careers of Emmanuelle Riva and Delphine Seyrig, both of which he discovered on the stage. |
7 | Friend of director Chris Marker. |
8 | Was married to Florence Malraux, the only daughter of the writer André Malraux. |
9 | He directed 10 different actors in César-nominated performances: Nicole Garcia , Sabine Azéma (4 times), Pierre Arditi (2 times), André Dussollier (2 times), Micheline Presle, Jean-Pierre Bacri, Agnès Jaoui, Lambert Wilson, Darry Cowl and Isabelle Nanty. Azéma, Arditi (2 times), Dussollier, Bacri, Jaoui and Cowl won Césars for their performances in one of Resnais movies. |
10 | Ancient student at L'IDHEC (La Femis, at present). |
11 | His companion is actress Sabine Azéma. |
