French film director (1929–2003) known for crime and noir-tinged films such as La Piscine and Borsalino.

Born 19 February 1929; died 9 August 2003.

The available review (by Spleen) treats La piscina as an ambitious attempt at noir that ultimately falls flat. Praise is given to the film's imagery and performances (especially Schneider and Delon). Criticism focuses on stretched silences, flatness in the middle and a rushed, superficial ending. Overall a mixed-to-negative assessment.

For:Fans of French cinema, classic noir and 1960s European films

 Here is a film by one of the directors of French-style police films, who here tries to make a noir film in an original way with good initial premises and then flounders throughout the rest of the film.
