The Profile

Barbet Schroeder is a Swiss film director and producer, born in 1941 in Tehran. He co-founded Les Films du Losange with Éric Rohmer and is known for works ranging from counterculture dramas (More, La Vallée) to acclaimed U.S. films (Reversal of Fortune, Single White Female) and Barfly, inspired by Charles Bukowski.

Co-founded Les Films du Losange (1962) with Éric Rohmer; early features More (1969) and La Vallée (1972) featured music by Pink Floyd; directed Barfly (1987) and Single White Female (1992); received an Academy Award nomination for Best Director for Reversal of Fortune (1990).

DeBaser’s reviews of Barbet Schroeder span counterculture odysseys (More, La Vallée), Bukowski’s bar-stained world (Barfly), and 90s psychological tension (Single White Female). Pink Floyd’s presence looms large on the early films. Critics praise atmosphere, performances, and tension, while noting censorship and distribution quirks. Overall stance: warmly appreciative.
