From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacques Doniol-Valcroze (born in Paris March 15, 1920; died in Cannes on October 6, 1989) was a French actor, critic, screenwriter, and director. In 1964 he was a member of the jury at the 14th Berlin International Film Festival.[1]
[edit] New Wave
In his thirties he played a role in the French New Wave and discussed the beginnings of "the new cinema." He was also a co-founder of Cahiers du cinéma and defended Alain Robbe-Grillet.[2] His own works in this area include directing the film L'Eau à la bouche and acting in some New Wave films. Nevertheless he is generally excluded from the movement's "inner circle."[3] Additionally he was friends with François Truffaut who shot the film Une Visite in his flat.[4] He was married to Françoise Brion.[5]
